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.

1. What is the average velocity of a car that moved 40 km East and 80 km West in 2 hours?
irina [24]

The average velocity is 20 km/h west

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is given by:

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

The displacement of an object is a vector connecting the initial position and the final position of motion.

In this problem, the car moved

40 km East

80 km West

Therefore, the displacement is given by (taking West as positive direction)

d=80 km - 40 km = 40 km West

The time elapsed is

t = 2 h

Therefore, the average velocity is

v=\frac{40 km}{2h}=20 km/h in the West direction.

A block with mass ma = 14.0 kg on a smooth horizontal surface is connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second
Drupady [299]
<span>We can assume that the horizontal surface has no friction and the pulley is massless. We can use Newton's second law to set up an equation. F = Ma F is the net force M is the total mass of the system a is the acceleration a = F / M a = (mb)(g) / (ma + mb) a = (6.0 kg)(9.80 m/s^2) / (6.0 kg + 14.0 kg) a = 58.8 N / 20 kg a = 2.94 m/s^2 The magnitude of the acceleration of the system is 2.94 m/s^2</span>

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .
