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.

Assume it takes 10 J to stretch a spring 10 cm beyond its natural length. Find the work required (in Joules) to stretch the spri
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

W = 30 J

Explanation:

given,

Work done = 10 J

Stretch of spring, x = 0.1 m

We know,

dW = F .dx

we know, F = k x

\int dW = \int_0^{0.1} k.x dx

W = \int_0^{0.1} k.x dx

W = k[\dfrac{x^2}{2}]_0^{0.1}

10 = k\dfrac{0.1^2}{2}

k = 2000

now, calculating Work done by the spring when it stretched to 0.2 m from 0.1 m.

W = \int_{0.1}^{0.2} 2000 x dx

W = 2000 [\dfrac{x^2}{2}]_{0.1}^{0.2} dx

W = 1000 x 0.03

W = 30 J

Hence, work done is equal to 30 J.

Answer:

Circuit one will have more current than circuit two

Explanation:

I am assuming that you have to see which circuit has the greater current in this case. Well, this is the perfect example of Ohm's Law, which states the following -

V = IR,

where V = voltage / potential difference, I = current, and R = resistance

If one circuit has twice the voltage and half the resistance of the second circuit, as voltage is directly proportional to the resistance -

2V = I( 1 / 2R ),

4V = IR,

I = 4V / R

Whereas in the second circuit -

V = IR,

I = V / R

As you can note, voltage is directly proportional to the current ( I ) as well as the resistance. The only difference between the two formulas I = 4V / R, and I = V / R is the difference in the voltage. With the voltage being 4 times greater in the first circuit, and current is 4 times greater in the first circuit as well.

<u><em>Hence, circuit one will have more current than circuit two</em></u>
