Which of the following statements are true of solar energy?

What is power, and what is its relationship to voltage and amperage?

kvasek [131]

The relationship between amperage, voltage, and power is that power equals the amperage quantity times the amount of voltage.

Power: is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

The half-life of caffeine is 5 hours. If you ingested a 30 oz Big Gulp, how many oz of caffeine is left after one half life? * Y

xeze [42]

Answer:

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to degenerate or decay to half of its original size.

The half life of caffeine is 5 hours. So ingesting a 30 oz, this would be reduced to half of its size after the first 5 hours.

So that:

After one half life of 5 hours, the value of caffeine that would be left is;

$\frac{30}{2}$ = 15 oz

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has

Anastasy [175]

-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed.
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is 3.95 x 10⁵m and the satellite is
orbiting 4.2 x 10⁶m above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

   (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

   = (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

   = 45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is (2 π R) = 91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

   (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

= 45.95 π x 10⁵ m/hr x (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

=    0.04 x 10⁵ m/sec

      =    4 x 10³    m/sec

   (4 kilometers per second)

Which as more weight a kilogram of bricks in air or a kilogram of feathers in water? Explain your answer.

ale4655 [162]

A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.

You measure the power delivered by a battery to be 4.26 W when it is connected in series with two equal resistors. How much powe

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

<em>The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W</em>

Explanation:

Power through a circuit is given as

P = IV ....1

where P is the power

I is the current through the circuit

V is the voltage through the circuit

The voltage in a circuit is given as

V = IR ....2

Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R

when connected in series, the total resistance will be

$R_{t}$ = R + R = 2R

If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is

I = V/2R

If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be

$\frac{1}{R_{t} }$ = $\frac{1}{R}$ +

$R_{t}$ = R/2

The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced

I = 2V/R

comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of

$\frac{2V}{R}$ ÷ $\frac{V}{2R}$ =

This means that the current increased 4 times

From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to

P = 4 x 4.26 = <em>17.04 W</em>
