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

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.

Stells [14]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}

solving for t

we have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

substituing all value for time t

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}

v = 7.67 m/s

A ball is attached to a vertical spring. The ball is initially supported at a height y so that the spring is neither stretched n
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

All the three quantities will have non zero joules.

Explanation:

At the initial position of rest the system will have only gravitational potential energy while the other 2 quantities will be zero.

when the system reaches a height (y-h) only kinetic energy will be zero while the other 2 quantities will be non zero

At the position of (y-h/2) all the 3 quantities will be non zero.

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume e =
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Rigel, 2.7x10^32W, T = 11,000K

But L = 4pR²sT⁴

L = 2.7x10^32W, T = 11,000K, s= 5.67 x 10^-8, R= radius in meters

Rigel parallax, p = 0.00378 arc sec

Substituting the various values and making R the subject of the formula

R² = L/(4psT⁴)

R² = 2.7x10^32/(4 x 0.003878 x 5.67x10^-8 x (11,000)⁴)

R² = 2.7x10^32/1.2877x10^7

R² = 2.096761668 x 10^25

R = 4.579041021 x 10^12meters

(b)

Procyon B, 2.1x10^23W, T = 10,000K

But L = 4pR²sT⁴

L = 2.1x10^23W, T = 10,000K, s= 5.67 x 10^-8, R= radius in meters

Procyon B parallax, p = 0.00284 arc sec

R² = 2.1x10^23/(4 x 0.00284 x 5.67x10^-8 x (10,000)⁴)

R² = 2.1x10^23/(6.441 x 10^6)

R² = 3.26036 x 10^16

R = 1.80565 x 10^8 meters

(c) The radius of Rigel is given as 4.579041021 x 10^12meters and the radius of Procyon B is given by 1.80565 x 10^8 meters shows the remarkable difference between a super-giant star(Rigel) and a white dwarf star (Procyon B)

The radius of the sun a red star is 6.96 x 10^8meters which shows a certain level of resemblance with the size of a dwarf white star Procyon B.

The sun is larger than Procyon B as estimated above.
