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.

Consider the following reaction proceeding at 298.15 K: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq,0.15 M)⟶Cu2+(aq, 1.14 M)+2Ag(s) If the standard reduction
lutik1710 [3]

Answer : The cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V

E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=0.80V

E^o=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^o=0.80V-(0.34V)=0.46V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of cell potential for this cell.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}][Ag]^2}{[Cu][Ag^+]^2}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0.46-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.14)\times (1)^2}{(1)\times (0.15)}

E_{cell}=0.434V

Therefore, the cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

A loader sack of total mass
vampirchik [111]

Question: A loader sack of total mass

is l000 grams falls down from

the floor of a lorry 200 cm high

Calculate the workdone by the

gravity of the load.​

Answer:

19.6 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

W = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1×2×9.8)

W = 19.6 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te
Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N
