Answer:

<u>Mirrors</u>

Explanation:

In Solar thermal power generation system, mirrors are used to collect and focus sunlight  onto a fluid pipe to produce high temperature required to generate electricity.

There are two main components: mirrors capture and focus light onto a receiver. The heat transfer fluid is circulated in the receiver. Steam is produced which is converted to mechanical energy in a turbine. It powers a generator and electricity is produced.

A ___ force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

conservative

Explanation:

Nonconservative force is the force that depends on a path, however conservative does not depend on a path and it is not associated with the potential energy. When the work is done by an unconservative force, mechanical energy is added or removed. Friction is the best example for a non-conservative force. When these non-conservative forces are acting, the mechanical energy changes but these are not preserved.

A projectile is shot on level ground with a
erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m    agreeing with answer found above

When you drop a 0.43 kg apple, Earth exerts
Archy [21]

Answer:

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

mass of the apple = 0.43 kg

acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the acceleration of the earth

Following the third law of Newton F = m*a

F(apple) = F(earth) = m(apple)*a(apple)

F(apple) = 0.43 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 4.214 N

a(earth) = F(apple/earth)/m(earth)

a(earth) = 4.214N /5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

a(earth) = 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

A park ranger driving on a back country road suddenly sees a deer in his headlights 20
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

17.1

Explanation:

The distance ahead, of the deer when it is sighted by the park ranger, d = 20 m

The initial speed with which the ranger was driving, u = 11.4 m/s

The acceleration rate with which the ranger slows down, a = (-)3.80 m/s² (For a vehicle slowing down, the acceleration is negative)

The distance required for the ranger to come to rest, s = Required

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the distance the ranger's vehicle travels before coming to rest (the distance 's'), is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

∴ s = (v² - u²)/(2·a)

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 m/s (the vehicle comes to rest (stops))

Plugging in the values for 'v', 'u', and 'a', gives;

s = (0² - 11.4²)/(2 × -3.8) = 17.1

The distance the required for the ranger's vehicle to com to rest, s = 17.1 (meters).
