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!!

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

Answer:

(a) A = 0.0800 m, λ = 20.9 m, f = 11.9 Hz

(b) 250 m/s

(c) 1250 N

(d) Positive x-direction

(e) 6.00 m/s

(f) 0.0365 m

Explanation:

(a) The standard form of the wave is:

y = A cos ((2πf) t ± (2π/λ) x)

where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If the x term has a positive coefficient, the wave moves to the left.

If the x term has a negative coefficient, the wave moves to the right.

Therefore:

A = 0.0800 m

2π/λ = 0.300 m⁻¹

λ = 20.9 m

2πf = 75.0 rad/s

f = 11.9 Hz

(b) Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf

v = (20.9 m) (11.9 Hz)

v = 250 m/s

(c) The tension is:

T = v²ρ

where ρ is the mass per unit length.

T = (250 m/s)² (0.0200 kg/m)

T = 1250 N

(d) The x term has a negative coefficient, so the wave moves to the right (positive x-direction).

(e) The maximum transverse speed is Aω.

(0.0800 m) (75.0 rad/s)

6.00 m/s

(f) Plug in the values and find y.

y = (0.0800 m) cos((75.0 rad/s) (2.00 s) − (0.300 m⁻¹) (1.00 m))

y = 0.0365 m
