In a residential solar thermal system, called the Solar Heating System, the solar panels are of the Solar Thermal Collector type, which have the function of capturing the thermal energy of the solar radiation and transferring it to the water, heating it.
This water will be stored in a thermal reservoir, which will maintain its temperature until the moment of use.
The size of the reservoir and the area of solar thermal collectors (solar heating plates) required for the solar heating system vary according to the amount of hot water used in the residence.
This is simple to calculate after an interview with the residents, where the consumption profile will be studied according to the habits of bathing, washing utensils, clothes, etc.


In a residential solar photovoltaic generator system the solar panels are of the photovoltaic module type, consisting of photovoltaic solar cells that transform solar radiation into direct current electric energy.
For the operation of an on-grid photovoltaic solar system (connected to the grid) it is necessary to use a grid-tie inverter, which converts the energy generated into continuous currents by the photovoltaic solar panels into current electric energy Alternating.
The grid-tie inverter is then connected to the general picture of the residence, where it is in charge of mixing the solar energy (already in alternating current) with the power of the public network, allowing to use it in any apparatus or electrical equipment.

Solar photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, are arrays of silicon cells that can transforms light radiation into electricity. Solar heating system absorbs the heat from the sun and either transform it into electricity through s generator or uses the energy to heat homes and water.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    vo = 5.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

distance = d= 5.8 m

height = 3 m

height 2 = 1.7 m

angle = 60°

vo = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

              hmax = vo²sinФ/ 2g

Solve for vo²

              vo² = 2ghmax / sinФ

Substitution

              vo² = 2(9.81)(3 - 1.7) / 0.866

Simplification

              vo² = 19.62(1.3) / 0.866

              vo² = 25.51 / 0.866

              vo² = 29.45

Result

              vo = 5.43 m/s

Why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus (β–) particles?
a_sh-v [17]
An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ... 
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.

What is the velocity in meters per second of a runner who runs exactly 110 m toward the beach in 72 seconds.
KATRIN_1 [288]

1.53 m/s toward the beach

Explanation:

The magnitude of the velocity of the runner is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement of the runner

t is the time taken

In this case, d=110 m and t=72 s, so the velocity of the runner is

v=\frac{110 m}{72 s}=1.53 m/s

Velocity is a vector, so it consists of both magnitude and direction: we already calculate the magnitude, while the direction is given by the problem, toward the beach.

satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbitwhere it is close
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) v2=4147.72 m/s

b) stotal=5.53x10^6 m

Explanation:

a) the length from the center of the earth is equal to:

L1=1x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=4.18x10^6 m

the velocity is 5.14 km/s=5.14x10^3 m/s

the farthest distance is equal to:

L2=2x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=5.18x10^6 m

As the angular momentum is conserved, we have to:

I1=I2

m*L1*v1=m*L2*V2, where m is the mass of satelite

clearing v2:

v2=(L1*V1)/L2=(4.18x10^6*5.14x10^3)/5.18x10^6=4147.72 m/s

b) Using the Newton 3rd law:

vf^2=vi^2+2as

where:

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

vf=0

vi=5.14 km/s

s=?

Clearing s:

s=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2g)=((0-(5.14x10^3)^2)/(2*9.8)=1.35x10^6 m

the total distance is equal to:

stotal=s+L1=1.35x10^6+4.18x10^6=5.53x10^6 m
