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.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

A spy camera is said to be able to read the numbers on a car's license plate. If the numbers on the plate are 4.30 cm apart, and
Maslowich

Answer:

D = 2.38 m

Explanation:

This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit

         a sin θ  = m λ

Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle

           θ = λ / a

Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the circular tightness

       

Let's apply this equation to our case

         D = 1.22 λ /  θ

To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry

         tan  θ = y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹  y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)

          θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)

          θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad

Let's calculate

        D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷

        D = 2.38 m

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J
