What's so great about solar energy systems?

1 answer:

4 0

Solar energy is a good alternative to replace fossil fuel as the major energy source because solar power is renewable at absolutely no cost to supply energy infinitely.

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran

Pie

Answer:

When a moving car brakes to a stop the kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy.

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation $k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop, the kinetic energy of the car gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.

Suppose that a wind is blowing in the direction S45°E at a speed of 30 km/h. A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E

Kay [80]

Answer:

The true course: $40.29^\circ$ north of east

The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

$V_w$ = velocity of wind = $30\ km/h\ S45^\circ E = (30\cos 45^\circ\ \hat{i}-30\sin 45^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

$V_p$ = velocity of plane in still air = $100\ km/h\ N60^\circ E = (100\cos 60^\circ\ \hat{i}+100\sin 60^\circ\ \hat{j})\ km/h = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Assume:

$V_r$ = resultant velocity of the plane

$\theta$ = direction of the plane with the east

Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.

$\therefore V_r = V_p+V_w\\\Rightarrow V_r = (50\ \hat{i}+86.60\ \hat{j})\ km/h+(21.21\ \hat{i}-21.21\ \hat{j})\ km/h\\\Rightarrow V_r = (71.21\ \hat{i}+65.39\ \hat{j})\ km/h$

Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:

$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{65.39}{71.21})\\\Rightarrow \theta = 40.29^\circ$

This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of $40.29^\circ$ north of east.

The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.

$\therefore Magnitude = \sqrt{71.21^2+65.39^2} = 96.68\ km/h$

Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.
