Answer:

not captured for use by living things

Explanation:

The sun is a star with a high radiation and most of(around 55-67%) the radiation that reaches the earth is usually reflected back. The earth cannot use all the energy that reaches the earth. It uses almost around 15-30%

What is one disadvantage of a series circuit?
nlexa [21]

If one bulb goes out then all the others won't light up because electricity will be cut off. It's a disadvantage because in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out all the others will still be on because they won't be affected. I hope I've helped you ☺

While water skiing behind her father’s boat, Letty is pulled at constant speed by a force of 164 N from the tow rope that makes
kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C
Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo  Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C
