Complete the table below describing renewable energy sources and the energy transformations that occur

Physics

worty [1.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See the complete table below.

Explanation:

Hydroelectricity = Potential energy to electrical energy.

Photovoltaic solar energy = Radiant energy to electrical energy.

Solar thermal energy = Thermal energy to electrical energy.

Note: The difference between thermal solar energy and photovoltaic solar energy is that, for photovoltaic energy special panels should be used that convert the solar incidence into electrical energy, while solar energy panels are used to heat water or other similar fluid, either for hot water supply or steam generation, to supply this to a turbine.

How is the percent efficiency of a machine determined?
NemiM [27]

Since work is the change in kinetic energy, the efficiency of a machine can be stated as the percentage of the output work divided by the input work minus the work lost from to friction and heat. Multiply Eff by 100% to get the efficiency percentage.

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak
Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

A rigid tank internal energy of fluid 800kJ. Fluid loses 500kJ of heat and padle wheel does 100kJ of work. Find final internal e
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

 U₂ = 400 KJ      

Explanation:

Given that

Initial energy of the tank ,U₁= 800 KJ

Heat loses by fluid ,Q= - 500 KJ

Work done on the fluid ,W= - 100 KJ

Sign -

1.Heat rejected by system - negative

2.Heat gain by system - Positive

3.Work done by system = Positive

4.Work done on the system-Negative

Lets take final internal energy =U₂

We know that

Q= U₂ - U₁ + W

-500 = U₂ - 800 - 100

U₂ = -500 +900 KJ

U₂ = 400 KJ

Therefore the final internal energy = 400 KJ
