(25 pts) Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed t

o supply the total needs for two four-person families, one living in Manchester, New Hampshire, where the latitude is 44+o north and the other in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 35+o North. The heat capacity of water is about 4200 J/kgoC and the hot water supply temperature in both houses is 60oC (140oF). State and justify all additional assumptions made.

Answer:

The required  total area is 1.48 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Latitude = 44+° N

New Mexico,

Latitude= 35+° N

Heat capacity = 4200 J/Kg°C

Temperature = 60°C

Let us assume the input temperature 22°C

Estimate volume of water 100 ltr for 4 person.

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

H=mc_{p}\Delta T

H=mc_{p}(T_{f}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

H=100\times4200\times(60-22)

H=15960\ KJ...(I)

Let solar radiation for 6 hours/day.

We need to calculate the total energy per unit area

Using formula of energy

E=1000\times6\times3600\ J/m^2

E=21600\ KJ/m^2

Let the efficiency of collector is 50 %

Then,  the total energy per unit area will be

E=21600\times\dfrac{50}{100}

E=10800\ KJ/m^2....(II)

We need to calculate the required total area

Using equation (I) and (II)

A=\dfrac{H}{E}

Where, H = heat

E = total energy

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{15960}{10800}

A=1.48\ m^2

Hence, The required  total area is 1.48 m²

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

How do vafiations in electronegativity result in the unequal sharign of electrons in polar molecuels?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer and Explanation:

Polar molecules are formed as a result of unequal sharing of electrons by the atoms in the molecule which creates polarization like that in water molecule.

If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms in the molecule then there won't be any polarization of the molecule and the molecule is non polar.

Electro-negativity is that property of an atom which lets it attract negative charges, i.e., electrons. The more the electro-negativity of an atom in the molecule the more are the chances of its polarization.

Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2
wolverine [178]

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial energy of the particles = E₁</em>
  • <em>final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁</em>

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

  • The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅
  • The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

Give reasons.<br>a) Sunlight does not fall on the ground where cloud forms shadow.​
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Sunlight passing through a cloud is scattered in various directions. Some photons eventually find their way out the bottom of the cloud, some are reflected upwards, and some are absorbed, serving to warm the cloud. Since only a fraction of the light makes it to ground level, you have a shadow.
