200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?

1 answer:

7 0

That's "insolation" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

(200 kW) / (300 m²) = (666 and 2/3) watt/m² .

Note that this is the intensity of the incident radiation. It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait !
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all. I have no idea what "1 sun" means. Forgive me. I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m² = 2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg roller coaster car that is moving at the speed of 10 ms

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

m= 2000 kg
s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2$

Solve the exponent.

(10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

$E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply the first two numbers together.

$E_k= 1000 \ kg \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)$

Multiply again.

$E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2$

1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

$E_k= 100,000 \ J$

The roller coaster car has 100,000 Joules of kinetic energy.

Two long straight wires are parallel and 8.6 cm apart. They are to carry equal currents such that the magnetic field at a point

Neko [114]

Answer:

(a) The current should be in opposite direction

(b) The current needed is 39.8 A

Explanation:

Part (a)

Based, on right hand rule, the current should be in opposite direction

Part (b)

given;

strength of magnetic field, B = 370 µT

distance between the two parallel wires, d = 8.6 cm

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

At the center, the magnetic field strength is twice

$B_c = 2(\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}) =\frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}$

R = d/2 = 8.6/2 = 4.3 cm = 0.043 m

$B_c = \frac{ \mu_oI}{\pi R}\\\\I = \frac{B_c\pi R}{\mu_o} = \frac{370 *10^{-6}* \pi *0.043}{4\pi *10^{-7}}\\\\I = 39.8 \ A$

Therefore, current needed is 39.8 A

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers

nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

$v=\frac{S}{t}$

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.

The total distance travelled by the car is:

$S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km$

while the total time taken is:

$t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h$

so, the average speed of the car is:

$v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h$

so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

An MRI scanner is based on a solenoid magnet that produces a large magnetic field. The magnetic field doesn't stop at the soleno

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The maximum change in flux is $\Delta \o = 0.1404 \ Wb$

The average induced emf $\epsilon =0.11232 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the technician is $v = 0.80 m/s$

The distance from the scanner is $d = 1.0m$

The initial magnetic field is $B_i = 0T$

The final magnetic field is $B_f = 6.0T$

The diameter of the loop is $D = 19cm = \frac{19}{100} = 0.19 m$

The area of the loop is mathematically represented as

$A = \pi [\frac{D}{2} ]^2$

$= 3.142 \frac{0.19}{2}$

$= 0.02834 m^2$

At maximum the change in magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \o = (B_f - B_i)A$

=> $\Delta \o = (6 -0)(0.02834)$

$\Delta \o = 0.1404 \ Wb$

The average induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = \Delta \o v$

$= 0.1404 * 0.80$

$\epsilon =0.11232 V$
