The Intensity of solar radiation at the Earth's orbit is 1370 W/m2. However, because of the atmosphere, the curvature of the Ear

th, and rotation (night and day), the actual intensity at the Earth's surface is much lower. At this moment, let us assume the intensity of solar radiation is 750 W/m2. You have installed solar panels on your roof to convert the sunlight to electricity. A) If the area of your solar panels is 4 m2, How much power is incident on your array? Watts Submit Answer Tries 0/2 B) Unfortunately, solar panels are only about 20% efficent... Only 1/5 of the light is converted to electricity. This being the case, how much electrical power are you actually producing for your home at this moment?

Answer:

A. Power incident on panel = 3000W

B. Electrical power generated = 600W

Explanation:

Actual solar intensity I = 750W/m2

A) if area A of panel = 4m2, then,

Power incident on panel = I x A

P = 750 x 4 = 3000W

B) if panel efficiency is 20%,

Then,

Power generates = 0.2 x 3000 = 600W of electricity.

Answer:

a) 3000W

b) 600W

Explanation:

A) To solve this problem we have to use

P=IA

where I is the intensity of light and A is the area of our solar panels. By replacing we have

P=(750\frac{W}{m^2})(4m^2)=3000W

B) However we know that the panel only absorb 20% of the total power. Hence we have that the real power is

P_r=0.2IA=0.2(3000W)=600W

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?
kozerog [31]
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 6.3 rev/min. what is this in revolutions per second? (you do not need to enter any uni
levacccp [35]

The microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 0.105 rev/s.

The microwave rotation is the number of revolutions in a unit of time. To change the unit for angular velocity, assume that the quantity is multiplied by the unit it has. Then change to the desired units. The angular velocity is denoted by ω and has a magnitude of 6.3 rev/min.

ω = 6.3 rev/min

\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{1 \: min}

  • 1 minute = 60 seconds
  • The revolution unit didn't change

\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}

\omega = \frac{6.3 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}

ω = 0.105 rev/s
