The question will be looking for Solar Panels, as they are flat, non-intrusive, and reasonably low maintenance ie the most sensible choice.

However I mean in theory you <em>could</em> stick windmills on top of big Wal-Mart stores as wind turbines are placed on roofs regularly, so you can tell whoever set you that question that it is vague ;)

That's a great idea !  A wind turbine (windmill) or solar panels
on the roof of every WalMart, but don't stop there.  Let K-Mart,
Target, Sears, Macy's, 7-11, McDonald's, and Subway in on it too. 

In fact, why not place them on the roof of every house and
apartment building too ?

Just one question:  Who's going to pay for them ?
_________________________________________________

The biggest single year-round residential use of energy in the
USA is to heat up and keep a ready supply of hot water.  So the
single biggest residential use of energy could be eliminated with
a simple solar water heater on the roof of every house.  From my
own personal observation, I know that Israel is there now, but here
in the USA, it's apparently not worth the time, effort, or expense ! ? !

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

In order to catch a fast-moving softball with your bare hand, you extend your hand forward just before the catch and then let th
hichkok12 [17]
This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

. During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from th
mixer [17]

Answer:

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

F \Delta t = m (v-u)

where

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m is the mass of the ball

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem:

m = 0.200 kg

u = 20.0 m/s

v = -12.0 m/s

\Delta t = 60.0 ms = 0.06 s

Solving for F,

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.200 kg) (-12.0 m/s-20.0 m/s)}{0.06 s}=-106.7 N

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

F = 106.7 N

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.
hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm
