Answer:

D: 1 Percent

Explanation:

According to the circle graph, only 1 percent of all the electricity in the United States is generated using solar energy. The reason for this is because currently solar cells are expensive to build and maintain. As solar energy becomes cheaper to use, it will most likely become a more popular source of electrical energy. ( this came right of study island )

The correct answer is - D. 1 percent.

The United States are the biggest consumer of electricity in the world. Because of that the United States are using multiple different sources in order to satisfy the demand for the electricity. The solar energy though accounts for only 1% of the total amount of produced electricity in the country and that is concerning. The biggest concern of course is the environmental one as the majority of the electricity is produced by sources that are polluting the environment. The other concern is that the United States are not using their potential in gaining more electricity from the solar radiation when taken in account that they have very large areas in the country that have a lot of intense solar radiation and clear skies throughout most of the year.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.

Explanation:

These kinds of problems are based on the principle of Archimedes, who says that by immersing a body in a volume of water, the initial water level will be increased, raising the water level. That is, the height in the container with water will rise in level. The difference between the new volume and the initial volume of the water will be the volume of the submerged body.

Now we have two moments when the steel cube is held by the raft and when it is at the bottom of the pool.

When the cube is at the bottom of the water we know that the volume will increase, and we can calculate this volume using the volume of the cube.

Vc = 0.45*0.45*0.45 = 0.0911 [m^3]

Now when a body floats it is because a balance is established in the densities, the density of the body and the density of the water.

Ro_{H2O}=R_{c+r}\\where:\\Ro_{H2O}= water density = 1000 [kg/m^3]\\Ro_{c+r}= combined density cube + raft [kg/m^3]

Density is given by:

Ro = m/V

where:

m= mass [kg]

V = volume [m^3]

The buoyancy force can be calculated using the following equation:

F_{B}=W=Ro_{H20}*g*Vs\\W = (200+730)*9.81\\W=9123.3[N]\\\\9123=1000*9.81*Vs\\Vs = 0.93 [m^3]

Vs > Vc, What it means is that the combined volume of the raft and the cube is greater than that of the cube at the bottom of the pool. Therefore the water level rises more when the cube is located above the raft before submerging.

A power station with an efficiency e generates W watts of electric power and dissipates D J of heat energy each second to the co
Andrews [41]

Answer: 13.94 tons/s

Explanation:

On adding heat energy to a substance, the temperature would be changed by a particular amount. This relationship between heat energy and temperature is often different for each material. The specific heat, is a value that describes how they relate.

Heat energy = mass flow rate * specific heat * Δ T

Q = MC (ΔΦ)

Heat energy, Q= 3.5*10^8J

Mass flow rate, M= ?

Specific heat, C= 4184j/KgC

Change in temperature, ΔΦ= 6°C

M = Q/CΔΦ

M = (3.5*10^8)/4184*6

M = 13942kg/s

M = 13.94 tons/s
