The Palo Verde nuclear power generator of Arizona has three reactors that have a combined generating capacity of 3.937×109 W . H

ow many years would it take the Palo Verde nuclear power generator to produce the same amount of energy as the Sun does in one day? The energy generation rate, or luminosity, of the Sun is 3.839×1026 W

Answer:

t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years

Explanation:

First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.

Energy = Power * Time

Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:

Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time

3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷

<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>

during a crash, the acceleration was less than 30g. Calculate the force on a 70 kg person accelerating at this rate.
Igoryamba

Answer:

less than 20580 N

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion

Force = mass * acceleration

(assuming gravitational acceleration =9.8 m/s2 )

acceleration = 30*9.8 = 294 m/s2

acting Force = 70 * 294

                     = 20580 N

Since the acceleration was less than 30g  , acting force should also be less than 20580 N

Two forces one of 12N and another of 5N act on abody in such away that they makes an angel of 90 with each other, what is the re
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

13 N

Explanation:

From the question,

If two forces act at right angle to each other, Their result force can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

R'² = R₁²+R₂²....................... Equation 1

Where R' = Resultant force, R₁ = First force, R₂ = Second force.

Given: R₁ = 12 N, R₂ = 5 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

R'² = 12²+5²

R'² = 144+25

R'² = 169

R' = \sqrt{169}

R' = 13 N.

Hence the resultant force is 13 N

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

4 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 12 m

v₀ = 6 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: t

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

12 m = ½ (0 m/s + 6 m/s) t

t = 4 s
