Reasons why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.  

Physics
2 answers:
olganol [36]3 years ago

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors.  They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

Mirrors are made of glass and glass isn't the greatest conductor.

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere
dalvyx [7]
There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

What is the weight of a 8-kg substance in N, kN, kg·m/s2, kgf, lbm·ft/s2, and lbf?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

W = 78.48N\\W =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\

W= 3.6lbf\\W= 115.2 lbm*ft/s2

Explanation:

if

m=8kg=3.6lb\\

and g=9.81 m/s2=32.16 ft/s2

and

W=m*g

we can just replace de mass and gravity and we have

W = 8kg * 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } =78.48N\\W = \frac{78.48N}{1000} =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\

W= 3.6lbf\\W= 3.6lbm *32.16 ft/s2 =115.2 lbm*ft/s2
