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

Physics

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.

What is an example of a concentric contraction
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

an example is a bicep curl

Explanation:

A concentric contraction is a type of muscle activation that causes tension on your muscle as it shortens. As your muscle shortens, it generates enough force to move an object.

Kingda Ka has a maximum speed of 57.2 m/s. Determine the height of the hill on this roller coaster. Explain to get full credit,
kodGreya [7K]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

The height of the hill is "166.76 m".

<h3>LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy at the highest point of the roller coaster ride, that is, the hill, the whole (maximum) kinetic energy of the roller coaster is converted into its potential energy:

Maximum\ Kinetic\ Energy\ Lost = Maximum\ Potential\ Energy\ Gain\\\\&#10;\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=mgh\\\\&#10;h=\frac{v_{max}^2}{2g}

where,

  • h = height of the hill = ?
  • v_{max} = maximum velocity = 57.2 m/s
  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h=\frac{(57.2\ m/s)^2}{2(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\&#10;

<u>h = 166.76 m</u>

Name at least three fundamental differences between the harmonic oscillator dynamics and the simple pendulum dynamics
xenn [34]

Answer: please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Harmonic can be experienced by any body that repeats itself. The pattern can be sinusoidal, square, tooth etc.

The fundamental differences between the harmonic oscillator dynamics and the simple pendulum dynamics are:

1.) The harmonic oscillator dynamics can be sinusoidal or square wave so far the motion is periodic while the simple pendulum dynamics is always sinusoidal.

2.) In simple pendulum dynamics, the period of oscillation is independent of the amplitude. While the period in harmonic oscillator dynamics depends on the amplitude.

3.) Differential equation is only one method to analyze the simple pendulum dynamics where there are several methods to analyze the harmonic oscillator dynamics.
