What is the biggest disadvantage of solar electricity, or at least, why is it not used much more than it currently is?

Physics

Lesechka [4]3 years ago

<span>The Solar electricity source of energy comes from the sun’s rays. It is more often in the form of a panel known as the solar panel. It has a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies energy in commercial and residential areas. Even though numerous countries are using this type of electricity to save electric-induced power, it is not used for a number of reasons. One is that 1 panel with a size of 6 by 10 solar cells is expensive. There are countries who cannot afford to buy them. Two, it requires a larger area to place the panel. Three, the efficiency is low. The smaller the panel is, the lower its efficiency and therefore produces lesser power to generate a specific area.  </span>

1. How much energy is needed just to melt 0.56kg of ice at 0◦ C?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

This will require 266.9 of heat energy.

Explanation:

To calculate the energy required to raise the temperature of any given substance, here's what you require:The mass of the material, m The temperature change that occurs,  ΔT The specific heat capacity of the material,

c

(which you can look up). This is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of that substance by 1°C.

Here is a source of values of

c for different substances:

Once you have all that, this is the equation:

Q=m×c×ΔT(Q is usually used to symbolize that heat required in a case like this.)For water, the value of c is 4.186g°C So, Q=750×4.186×85=266=858=266.858

A cello string vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of 335 1/s. The vibrating segment is 28.5 cm long and has a mas
Inga [223]

Answer:

The tension in string is found to be 188.06 N

Explanation:

For the vibrating string the fundamental frequency is given as:

f1 = v/2L

where,

f1 = fundamental frequency = 335 Hz

v = speed of wave

L = length of string = 28.5 cm = 0.285 m

Therefore,

v = f1 2L

v = (335 Hz)(2)(0.285)

v = 190.95 m/s

Now, for the tension:

v = √T/μ

v² = T/μ

T = v² μ

where,

T = Tension

v = speed = 190.95 m/s

μ = linear mass density of string = mass/L = 0.00147 kg/0.285 m = 5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m

Therefore,

T = (190.95 m/s)²(5.15 x 10^-3 kg/m)

<u>T = 188.06 N</u>

The gauge pressure inside an alveolus with a 200 µm radius is 25 mmHg, while the blood pressure outside is only 10 mmHg. Assumin
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The surface tension is 0.0318 N/m and is sufficiently less than the surface tension of the water.

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of an alveolus, R = 200\mu m = 200\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Gauge Pressure inside, P_{in} = 25\ mmHg

Blood Pressure outside, P_{o} = 10\ mmHg

Now,

Change in pressure, \Delta P = 25 - 10 = 15\ mmHg = 1.99\times 10^{3}\ Pa

Since the alveolus is considered to be a spherical shell

The surface tension can be calculated as:

\Delta P = \frac{4\pi T}{R}

T = \frac{1.99\times 10^{3}\times 200\times 10^{- 6}}{4\pi} = 0.0318\ N/m = 0.318\ mN/m

And we know that the surface tension of water is 72.8 mN/m

Thus the surface tension of the alveolus is much lesser as compared to the surface tension of water.

State a Newtowns second law​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a: F = m * a. For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object.
