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

1 answer:

5 0

<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>

7. A force of 100 N acting on a body gives it a speed of 200 m/s in 2

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Choice a. 1 kg, assuming that all other forces on the object (if any) are balanced.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law,

$\displaystyle a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}$ ,

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the object in $\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$\Sigma F$ is the net force on the object in Newtons, and
$m$ is the mass of the object in kilograms.

As a result,

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a}$ .

Assume that all other forces on this object are balanced. The net force on the object will be $100\;\text{N}$ . The net force is constant. Acceleration should also be constant and the same as the average acceleration in the two seconds.

<h3>What is the average acceleration of this object?</h3>

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Acceleration} &= \text{Average Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in Velocity}}{\text{Time Taken}}\end{aligned}$ .

$\displaystyle {a} = \frac{200\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{2\;\text{s}}=100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Apply Newton's Second Law to find the mass of the object.</h3>

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a} = \frac{100\;\text{N}}{100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}} = 1\;\text{kg}$ .

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes

OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

$y(t) = 0$

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

$0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s$

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

$v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s$
