Renewable energy

Advantages :-

1. Easily regenerate

2. Boost economic growth

3. Easily available

4. Support environment

5. Low maintenance cost

Disadvantages :-

1. Weather dependency

2. High installation cost

3. Noise caused by wind energy

4. Fluctuation problem (solar)

5. Intermittency issue (wind)

Non-renewable energy

Advantages :-

1. Concentrated energy source

2. Reliable energy source

3. Can be built anywhere

4. No radioactive waste

Disadvantages :-

1. Produces greenhouse gases

2. Contributes to global warming

3. Produces acid rain

4. Harmful to environment when they are burnt

I hope this helps.....

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0

$m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0$

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0$

$F_{rope}= 102.73\ N$

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

$F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma$

velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

$F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma$

$F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135$

$F_{rope}= 112.19\ N$

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. $V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches$

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

$P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i}$ (1)

$P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f}$ (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because $T_{i}=T_{f}$ , $n_{i}=n_{f}$ and R is an universal constant:

$P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}$ , solving for $V_{f}$

$V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}$

$V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches$
