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.

In a digital multimeter, what changes inside the meter when you push the button to change from 200v range to the 20v range? by w

charle [14.2K]

So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to 20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.

A man hits a 50 grams golf ball such that it leaves the tee at an angle of 40o with the horizontal and strikes the ground at the

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Range of projectile R = 20 m

formula of range

R = u² sin2θ / g

u is initial velocity , θ is angle of projectile

putting the values

20 = u² sin2x 40 / 9.8

u² = 199

u = 14.10 m /s

At the initial point

vertical component of u

= u sin40 = 14.1 x sin 40

= 9.06 m/s

Horizontal component

= u cos 30

At the final point where the ball strikes the ground after falling , its speed remains the same as that in the beginning .

Horizontal component of velocity

u cos 30

Vertical component

= - u sin 30

= - 9.06 m /s

So its horizontal component remains unchanged .

change in vertical component = 9.06 - ( - 9.06 )

= 18.12 m /s

change in momentum

mass x change in velocity

= .050 x 18.12

= .906 N.s

Impulse = change in momentum

= .906 N.s .

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3

kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, $a=25.4\ m/s^2$

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

$v=u+at$

$v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s$

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

$v^2=u^2+2ax_o$

$x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m$

Let $x_o$ is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)$

Now $a=-g$ and v and u will interchange

$u^2=2g(x-x_o)$

$x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

$x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?

mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it

A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00×105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0ºC and contains 2.00 L of gas. What will its pressure be

stepan [7]

Answer:

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$

Explanation:

from the ideal gas law we have

PV = mRT

$P = \rho RT$

$\rho = \frac{P}{RT}$

HERE R is gas constant for dry air = 287 J K^{-1} kg^{-1}

$\rho = \frac{7.00 10^{5}}{287(18+273)}$

$\rho = 8.38 kg/m^{3}$

We know by ideal gas law

$\rho = \frac{m_1}{V_1}$

$m_1 = \rho V_1 = 8.38 *2*10^{-3}$

$m_1 = 0.0167 kg$

for m_2

$m_2 = \rho V_i - V_removed$

$m_2 = 8.38*(.002 - 10^{-4})$

$m_2 = 0.0159 kg$

WE KNOW

PV = mRT

V, R and T are constant therefore we have

P is directly proportional to mass

$\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 = p_1 * \frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 =7*10^{5} * \frac {.0159}{0.0167}$

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$
