. A bead of mass m under the influence of gravity slides along a frictionless and massless wire whose height is given by a funct

ion y(x). Assume that at position (x, y) = (0, 0) the tangent of the wire is horizontal and the bead passes this point with a given speed v0. What should y(x) be so that the horizontal speed remains v0 at all times (that is what is the shape of the wire)? One simple solution is y = 0, find the other solution. (Hint: It should

Answer:

y = constant

Explanation:

Bodies moving on the surface of Earth are subject to gravity, and they have a potential and kinetic energy. If there is no friction, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy remains constant.

Since potential energy depends on height, changes in altitude affect potential energy. Going higher increases this energy, this is accompanied by a reduction of kinetic energy and speed (since kinetic energy is related to speed). If the body goes down potential energy is reduced, but kinetic energy and speed increase.

For speed to remain constant the kinetic energy must remain constant. For the kinetic energy to remanin constant, the potential energy must remain constant, and for the potential energy to remain constant the height must remain constant.

Converted to<br> Energy<br> Electricity powers the lights<br> for a building.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

More than enough solar energy (8.2 million quad BTUs, 1 quad = 2.9 x1011 kWh) hits Earth's surface each year to meet all of societies' needs. Currently we use about 400 quads per year to run our society. Good building design allows passive use of sunlight to heat homes. Simple solar collectors are used to heat water and cook food. As useful as it is for these purposes, thermal energy from sunlight is still a low quality energy compared to electricity. Computers, most machinery, light bulbs, subway trains, and much more all require electricity. It is possible to turn thermal energy from the sun into electricity. In this unit we will examine how.

. We will also examine how to make electricity directly from light using the photovoltaic cells.
