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:
Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels
Explanation:
In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.
A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.
Answer:
During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.
Explanation:
The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.
Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.
Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
So: 
In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?
distance= 6 m

Answer: 1026s, 17.1m
Explanation:
Given
COP of heat pump = 3.15
Mass of air, m = 1500kg
Initial temperature, T1 = 7°C
Final temperature, T2 = 22°C
Power of the heat pump, W = 5kW
The amount of heat needed to increase temperature in the house,
Q = mcΔT
Q = 1500 * 0.718 * (22 - 7)
Q = 1077 * 15
Q = 16155
Rate at which heat is supplied to the house is
Q' = COP * W
Q' = 3.15 * 5
Q' = 15.75
Time required to raise the temperature is
Δt = Q/Q'
Δt = 16155 / 15.75
Δt = 1025.7 s
Δt ~ 1026 s
Δt ~ 17.1 min
Answer: False
Explanation:
Relative to the concept of radiations, a black body is an object capable of absorbing any form of electromagnetic radiation irrespective of its frequency or angle of incidence when incident on such object.
However, the same cannot be said about real bodies as real bodies are those which reflect all rays incident on them completely and uniformly in all directions.
One very important characteristic of black bodies is that they are ideal emmiters.
The concept of emmisivity is brought about by the existence of real bodies .
This is due to the fact that they are only able to emit radiation at a fraction of the black body energy levels.
Please note that by convention, the emmisivity of a real body is always less thaan 1.
As such they are not able to emit as much radiation as a black body at the same temperature.
