Answer:

Input power, Ip = 4 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power output = 0.8 Watts

Efficiency = 20%

To find the power input of the sunlight onto the solar panel;

Mathematically, the efficiency of a machine is given by the formula;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; power}{In-put \; power} * 100$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$20 = \frac {0.8}{Ip} * 100$

$20 = \frac {80}{Ip}$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$20Ip = 80$

$Ip = \frac {80}{20}$

Input power, Ip = 4 Watts

Serhud [2]

Answer:

1.23 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

57.2 = 46.5v

v= 57.2/46.5

v= 1.23

If you want to verify your answer, just insert the value of v in the equation.

A curent-carrying 2.0-cm long segment of wire is inside a long solenoid adius - 40 cm - 800 turns/m, current - 50 mA). The wire

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The value is $F_{max} = 12 \muN$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length is $l = 2.0 \ cm = 0.02 \ m$

The radius of the the solenoid is $r =40 \ cm$

The number of turns per meter is $N = 800 \ turns / m$

The current through the solenoid is $I = 50 \ mA = 50*10^{-3} \ A$

The current through the segment is $I_s = 12 \ A$

Generally the magnetic force is mathematically represented as

$F = B * I_s l sin(\theta)$

At maximum $\theta = 90^o$

So

$F_{max} = B * I_s l$

Here B is the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \mu_o * N * I$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

So

$B = 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 800 *50*10^{-3}$

=> $B = 5.0272 *10^{-5} \ T$

So

$F_{max} = 5.0272 *10^{-5} * 12 * 0.02$

$F_{max} = 1.2 *10^{-5}$

$F_{max} = 12 \muN$

Bonus Points. A ball was thrown straight up in the air from 1.2 meter above the grouind. After 3 seconds the ball returnes to th

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

given that

Distance above the ground, s = 1.2 m

Time taken by the ball, t = 3 s

Velocity of the ball, v = 1.2/3 = 0.4 m/s

Maximum height reached by the ball is then given by the formula

H = v² / 2g

H = 0.4² / 2 * 9.8

H = 0.16 / 19.6

H = 0.0082 m or rather, 0.82 cm
