Converted to Energy Electricity powers the lights for a building.

Physics
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A person travels from New York to Washington at the rate of 45 km per hour and
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The average speed for the whole journey is 49.5 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Here, both the ways, he covers the same distance.  Then, the formula to find average speed is

=  2xy / (x+y)

Step 2 :

x ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

x  =  45

y ----> Rate at which he travels from New York to Washington  

y  =  55

Step 3 :

So, the average speed is

=  (2 ⋅ 45 ⋅ 55) / (45 + 55)

=  4950 / 100

=  49.5

Which of newton's three laws is the hardest to describe or explain when viewing common occurrences?
choli [55]

Newton's second law is the hardest to describe as it is about momentum  (F = ma), and a lot of people don't know the concept of momentum.

Newton's first law of motion:- every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's 2nd law of motion:-the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the item's mass. Newton's 2nd law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

Newton's 3rd law of motion:- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Suppose an extraction with methylene chloride (d = 1.33 g/mL), also called dichloromethane, is performed with the desired compou
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Methylene chloride.

Explanation:

Two layers in the separation funnel are the aqueous phase and the organic phase. For solvents lighter than water (i.e., density < 1), the organic phase will rest on top in the separatory funnel, whereas solvents denser than water (density > 1) will sink to the bottom.

Since, methylene chloride is denser than Brine therefore, methylene chloreide sinks at the bottom while methylene chloride stays on top.

Suppose the B string on a guitar is 24" long and vibrates with a frequency of about 247 Hz. You place your finger on the 5th fre
pashok25 [27]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the related concepts to string vibration. This concept shows the fundamental frequency of a string due to speed and length, that is,

f = \frac{v}{2L}

Where

v = Velocity

L = Length

Directly if the speed is maintained the frequency is inversely proportional to the Length:

f \propto \frac{1}{L}

Therefore the relationship between two frequencies can be described as

\frac{f_2}{f_1}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}

f_2 = \frac{l_1}{l_2}(f_1)

Our values are given as,

l_1 = 24"\\f_1 = 247Hz\\l_2 = 18"

Therefore the second frequency is

f_2 = \frac{l_1}{l_2}(f_1)\\f_2 = \frac{24}{18}(247)\\f_2 = 329.33Hz

The frequency allocation of 329Hz is note E.
