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

Physics

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... 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) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> 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.

As keisha runs the generator, which best describes what should happen to the needle that measures electric current? it will move
SOVA2 [1]

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

  • What is an electric generator?
  1. An electric generator is physically equivalent to an electric motor. but it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  2. The electrical field generated is dependent on the inclination of the wire with respect to magnetic field lines, and this inclination changes over time,

because of that she will experience a varying electrical field, and thus a varying electric current will be zero.

The maximum positive value will occur when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines after one-fourth of rotation, and then zero.

Hence option C is correct.

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

Which eletromagnetic waves have the lowest frequency radio waves micro waves x rays or gamma rays
slavikrds [6]

Answer:         Radio waves have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation. In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

v=u+at

a is the acceleration, here, a=\mu g

0=u+\mu gt

t=\dfrac{u}{\mu g}\\\\t=\dfrac{4.3}{0.5\times 9.8}\\\\t=0.87\ s

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
