Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

  C

Explanation:

Most discussions of refraction will have a diagram similar to that of C.

The angle of incidence is measured from the normal to the boundary, as is the angle of refraction. The product of the sine of the angle and the index of refraction is the same for the media on either side of the boundary.

  n₁·sin(θ₁) = n₂·sin(θ₂)

For media, such as optical fiber, that has an index of refraction greater than 1, the angle of refraction will be smaller in that media than the angle of incidence coming from air.

Figure C applies.

Power is the rate of work that is done per time. Work is calculated from the product of force and the displacement. So, by using the definition of power and work, we can relate power with force, displacement and the time. We do as follows:

Power = Work / time
Power = Force x displacement / time
Power = 21 N (9 m) / 3 s
Power = 63 J /s = 63 W

What is the shape of a solid

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed size. The particles are very close together and held in place by strong forces (bonds). Their particles cannot move around, but they do vibrate. Because the particles cannot move around, a solid has a fixed shape.

Solids can be hard like a rock, soft like fur, a big rock like an asteroid, or small rocks like grains of sand. The key is that solids hold their shape and they don't flow like a liquid.
