A gas station owner suspects that he is being overcharged for gasoline deliveries by a gasoline supplier. The overcharge seems p

articularly high in the summer months. The owner hires an attorney, who then contracts with you as an expert witness to analyze the situation. As you investigate the gasoline supplier, you discover that he is not using temperature-compensated gauges on his delivery trucks. Therefore, on a hot day, the supplier is pumping expanded gasoline, which then contracts into a smaller volume in the owner's underground tanks. The supplier is charging for the expanded volume as measured by his non-compensated gauges. You report your information to the attorney, who then asks you to determine the percentage that the owner was overcharged on a delivery day when the outside temperature was 92.2°F and temperature of the underground tank was a constant 55.0°F.

Answer:

Explanation:

delta V = v * alpha * delta T

= V * 0.00053 * (92.2 - 55.0)

= 0.019716 V

percentage that the owner

= [delta V / V] * 100

= [0.019716 V / V] * 100

= 1.9716 %

A solar panel measures 0.57 m by 1.3 m. In direct sunlight, the panel delivers 6.6 A at 6 V. If the intensity of sunlight is 300
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

efficiency of solar panel is 18%

Explanation:

Energy received by the sunlight is given as

Power = intensity \times area

here we know the dimensions of the plate as

L = 0.57 m

W = 1.3 m

now we have

Area = (0.57)(1.3) m^2

A = 0.741 m^2

now the power received by the sun light is given as

P_1 = 0.741(300) = 222.3 W

now the output power due to solar panel is given as

P_{out} = V i

P_{out} = (6.6 A)(6 V)

P_{out} = 39.6 Watt

now the efficiency is given as

\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}

\eta = \frac{39.6}{222.3}

\eta = 0.18

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.
