Answer:

a) 316880878140.2895 Joules

b) 1056.26 Joules

c) 372.80103310622 km²

Explanation:

Energy consumption

$E=\frac{P}{t}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1\times 10^{19}}{365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow E=316880878140.2895\ W$

Average rate of electrical energy consumption is 316880878140.2895 Joules

Total population = 300 million

$E=\frac{316880878140.2895}{300\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow E=1056.26\ J$

Each person consumes 1056.26 Joules.

Efficiency = 0.85

Power from Sun

$0.85\times 1000=850\ W/m^2$

Area

$\frac{316880878140.2895}{850}=372801033.10622\ m^2$

Converting to km²

$372801033.10622=\frac{372801033.10622}{1000\times 1000}=372.80103310622\ km^2$

Area required to collect the electrical energy used in the United States is 372.80103310622 km²

The average rate of electrical energy consumption is 316880878140.2895 Joules . The average rate of electrical energy consumption per person is 1056.26 Joules . An area 372.80103310622 km² (in square kilometers) would be required to collect the electrical energy used in the United States

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

The total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.0 *10^19 joules per year.

The formula links energy and power is:

Energy = Power x Time.

The unit of energy is the joule, whereas unit of power is the watt and the unit of time is the second.

(a) What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption?

Energy = Power x Time

Energy= 1/(10*10^19) x (365.26 x 24 x 60 x 60)

Energy = 316880878140.2895 joules

b) The population of the United States is about 300 million people. What is the average rate of electrical energy consumption per person?

Total population = 300 million

Energy = 316880878140.2895/ {300 x 10^6}

Energy = 1056.26 J

c) The sun transfers energy to the earth by radiation at a rate of approximately 1.0 kW per square meter of surface. If this energy could be collected and converted to electrical energy with 85% efficiency, how great an area (in square kilometers) would be required to collect the electrical energy used in the United States?

Efficiency = 0.85

Power from Sun = 0.85 x 1000 = 850 W/m^2

Area = 316880878140.2895 x 850 = 372801033.10622 m^2

Converting to km²

= {372801033.10622}{1000 x 1000}

= 372.80103310622 km^2

krok68 [10]

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates

Which of the following objects has the greatest density

maks197457 [2]

The density is determined on the steepness of the slope. The greater the density is bases upon the steepest slope. To conclude, I'd say Line A has the steepest slope therefore has the greatest density.

A 41-turn square coil of area 0.074 m2 and a 123-turn circular coil are both placed perpendicular to the same changing magnetic

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h3>The area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 $m^{2}$ </h3>

Explanation:

Given :

No. of turns in the first coil $N_{1} = 41$

No. of turns in the second coil $N_{2} = 123$

Area of first coil $A_{1} = 0.074 m^{2}$

According to the law of electromagnetic induction,

Induced emf = $-N \frac{d \phi}{dt}$

Where $\phi =$ magnetic flux.

Since given in question emf of both coil is same so we compare above equation.

$-\frac{N_{1} d\phi _{1} }{dt_{1} } = -\frac{N_{2} d\phi _{2} }{dt_{2} }$

$\frac{N_{1} A_{1} dB_{1} }{dt_{1} } = \frac{N_{2} A_{2} dB_{2} }{dt_{2} }$

$A_{2} = \frac{N_{1} A_{1} }{N _{2} }$

$A_{2} = \frac{41 \times 0.074 }{123 }$

$A_{2} = 0.0246 = 0.025 m^{2}$

Therefore, the area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 $m^{2}$

A chevrolet corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. what

pychu [463]

By definition we have that the final speed is:
Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
Where,
Vo: Final speed
a: acceleration
d: distance.
We cleared this expression the acceleration:
a = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * d)
Substituting the values:
a = ((0) ^ 2- (60) ^ 2) / ((2) * (123) * (1/5280))
a = -77268 mi / h ^ 2
its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is:
First you must make a free body diagram and see the acceleration of the car:
g = 32.2 feet / sec ^ 2
a = -77268 (mi / h ^ 2) * (5280/1) (feet / mi) * (1/3600) ^ 2 (h / s) ^ 2
a = -31.48 feet / sec ^ 2
A = a + g * sin (θ) = -31.48 + 32.2 * sin17.0
A = -22.07 feet / sec ^ 2
Clearing the braking distance:
Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
d = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * a)
Substituting the values:
d = ((0) ^ 2- (60 * (5280/3600)) ^ 2) / (2 * (- 22.07))
d = 175.44 feet
answer:
its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is 175.44 feet
