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

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.

Can the validity of a model be limited, or must it be universally valid? How does this compare to the required validity of a the

Vilka [71]

The model is based on hypothesis to get an initial idea for analyzing a complex problem. Hence, the validity of a model is limited and may not be valid universally. On the other hand, theories and laws are confirmed hypothesis which are universally valid. These are formulated after repeated testings. theories are more explanatory.

The small metal cylinder has a mass of 0.20 kgkg, the coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and the turntable is 0

deff fn [24]

Answer:

velocity of the metal cylinder = 0.343 m/s

Explanation:

Force putting the metal cylinder is given by

F = mv²/r

But this force will balance the frictional force between the metal cylinder and the turntable

The frictional force is given by

μN = μ × mg = 0.08 × 0.2 × 9.81 = 0.15696 N

r = 0.15 m, m = 0.2 kg,

F = mv²/r = 0.2 v²/(0.15) = 1.3333 v²

1.3333 v² = 0.15696

v² = 0.117

v = 0.343 m/s

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 10.0 s. At th

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

$\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

$\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2$

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

$\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a$

$\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad$

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

$0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o$

$\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad$

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 3 kg ball that is 1 meter above the floor?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

PE=mgh

M= Mass (kg)

G= Gravitational field strength (N/kg)

H= Hight (m)

PE= Gravitational Potential Energy (J)

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in a object due to its position above the Earth's surface.
