First choice: the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the
Sun's energy
Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low. But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.
Second choice: the inability of current technology to store
captured solar
energy
No. We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts. Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.
Third choice: inconsistencies in the availability of the resource
I think this is it. If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.
Fourth choice: lack of
demand for solar energy
If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
Answer:
The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%
Explanation:
Let V be the total volume of the iceberg
Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged
According to Archimedes principle,
weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)
Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g
Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g
We then have
ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g
(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%
Hope this Helps!!!!
Answer:
A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer
Explanation:
This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes us.
Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
