Answer:

50 h

Explanation:

The heat required (Q) to heat the water  can be calculated using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT = (4.184 kJ/kg.°C) × 1000 kg × (200°C - 60°C) = 5.9 × 10⁵ kJ

where,

c: specific heat capacity

m: mass

ΔT: change in the temperature

The solar collector has an area of 6 m² and the intensity delvered by sunlight is 550 W/m². The power (P) submitted by the collector is:

6 m² × 550 W/m² = 3 × 10³ W

The energy collected is transformed into heat. We know that:

P = E/t = Q/t

where

t: time

t = Q/P = 5.9 × 10⁸ J / (3 × 10³ J/s) = 2 × 10⁵ s × (1 h / 3600 s) = 50 h

What shows evidence of active transport?
Eva8 [605]

Movement of minerals in plant

Explanation:

In Biology, Active transport means Movement of molecules from lower concentration to Higher concentration through a membranous substance.

It is clearly shown in transportation of minerals from root hairs to root cells.

From root hairs( Lower concentration) minerals are transported to other parts of plant ( Higher concentration, Active  transport takes place.

It is clearly evident that in this natural process active transport of minerals  takes place effectively through root hairs to various parts of plant.

The Sun travels in a circular orbit at a velocity of 220 km/second at a distance of 8.5 kiloparsecs from the center of the Galax
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2.353 × 10⁵ years

Explanation:

Since speed, v = distance/time

time, t = distance/speed

The distance, d = circumference of orbit = 2πr where r = radius of orbit = 8.5 kiloparsecs = 8.5 kiloparsecs × 3.1 × 10¹³ kilometers/parsec = ‭26.35‬ × 10¹³ kilometers and velocity of sun, v = 220 km/s

So, the time it takes to complete one orbit, T is

T = 2πr/v

= 2π × 26.35‬ × 10¹³ km/220 km/s

= 165.562  × 10¹³ km ÷ 220 km/s

= 0.753 × 10¹³ s

= 7.53 × 10¹² s

We now convert T to years

T = 7.53 × 10¹² s ÷ 3.2 × 10⁷ seconds/year

T = 2.353 × 10⁵ years

What happens when visible light strikes a surface?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Absorption: 

<span>If the wavelength of the light happens to match the distance between two electron levels in the material, it can be absorbed. Light disappears and its energy becomes part of the heat energy of the material. </span>

<span>Metals have so many free electrons that all wavelengths are absorbed -- they are opaque to xrays, visible light, radio waves, everything. </span>
<span>Pigments have specific electron gaps that absorb only the light of a specific wavelength, which we see as color </span>
<span>Transparent materials do not happen to have any gaps between electron levels that match any of the wavelengths of visible light. </span>

If you could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to the tenth floor,which has greater power?why?
Nostrana [21]
Stairs don't HAVE any power. When you use the stairs, YOU have to provide all the power. I would use the elevator, because the machinery that runs it produces the power and I only have to stand there.
