The reason why solar electricity is not widely used yet is that it is

Very costly

Despite the fact it is a very clean form of energy (it does not produce any carbon dioxide or other forms of waste), solar electricity is not very used yet due to the high cost of the solar panels and building solar plants.

Ik it has something to do with not always being able to be used. Example: Goes dark at night therefore no sunlight some people say a but i would say d but the person that said it was a was not very trustable so yea i would go with D hope this helped:)

A point charge of 4.0 µC is placed at a distance of 0.10 m from a hard rubber rod with an electric field of 1.0 × 103 . What is

yuradex [85]

Since

Electric potential energy = qV

Where V = Ed

Hence
Electric potential energy = q(Ed) --- (1)

Since E = 1.0 * 10^3 N/C
d = 0.10 m
q = 4 * 10^-6 C

Plug in the values in (1)
(1) => Electric potential energy = 4 * 10^-6(1.0 * 10^3 * 0.10)
Electric potential energy = 400 μJ

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

$1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

So, $4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$

$4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches$

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch

$1\ inch=3\ barleycorn$

$1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of $4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A truck and a scooter moving with the same velocity colide. Why does the scooter fly off?

iragen [17]

We know, Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. As velocity is equal, momentum of Truck will be greater as mass of Truck is greater than the scooter. As momentum is greater from truck side, it will transfer the same amount to the scooter, so it flies away

Hope this helps!

At 15°C air is transmitted at 340 m/s. Express this speed in Kilometers per hour.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1224km/hr

Explanation:

To convert from m/s to km/hr

1000m = 1km

Divide both sides by 1000

1m = 1/1000 km................. (1)

60×60 seconds = 1 hr

3600s = 1hr

Divide both sides by 3600

1s = 1/3600 .............(2)

Divide (2) by (1)

1m/s = 1/1000 ÷ 1/3600 km/hr

1m/s = 1/1000 × 3600/1 km/hr

1m/s = 3600/1000 km/hr

1m/s = 3.6 km/hr .............(3)

To convert 340m/s to km/hr

Multiply (3) by 340

1× 340m/s = 3.6 × 340 km/hr

340m/s = 1224km/hr
