What are advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker compared to other meanings of cookings?
drek231 [11]

The advantage of using a solar cooker is that it is Eco-friendly and the disadvantage is that it can be used only under certain conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A solar cooker is used for cooking food without having to use electricity or gas. Instead, the appliance uses heat from the sun to cook food. It is used widely in by people who travel in remote areas or go on trips. But the appliance has limitations of its own too.

ADVANTAGES

  • Using it is friendly to the environment
  • It can be easily assembled without expert assistance
  • No compromise on the quality and taste of foo

DISADVANTAGES

  • Requires sun to function and prepare food
  • Cannot function in winters or monsoon when the sun isn't present
  • Does not retain heat as efficiently and quickly as compared to other cooking appliances

How is photon energy calculated? (choose 2)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.

Contrary to the predictions, experiments showed that increasing the light frequency increased the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, and increasing the light amplitude increased the current.

Based on these findings, Einstein proposed that light behaved like a stream of particles called photons with an energy of \text{E}=h\nuE=hνstart text, E, end text, equals, h, \nu.

The work function, \PhiΦ\Phi, is the minimum amount of energy required to induce photoemission of electrons from a metal surface, and the value of \PhiΦ\Phi depends on the metal.

The energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the metal's work function and the photoelectron kinetic energy:

Determine the weight in newtons of a woman whose weight in pounds is 157. Also, find her mass in slugs and in kilograms. Determi
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Weight of the woman in Newton

   x =  698.6 \  N

 Mass of the woman in slug

  Mass =  4.86 \  slug

 Mass of the woman in kg

   Mass =  16 \  kg

  My weight in Newton

  W =  784 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The weight of the woman in pounds is  W = 157 \ lb

Converting to Newton

    1 N  =  0.22472 lb

    x N  =  157

=>   x =  \frac{157 *  1}{0.22472}

=>   x =  698.6 \  N

Obtaining the mass in slug

   Mass =  \frac{W}{g}

Here  g =  32.2 ft/s^2

So

     Mass =  \frac{157 }{32.2}

       Mass =  4.86 \  slug

Obtaining the mass in kilogram

     Mass =  \frac{W}{g}

Here  g =  9.8 \  m/s

So

   Mass =  \frac{157 }{9.8}

   Mass =  16 \  kg

Generally weight is mathematically represented as

     W =  m *  g

Given that my mass is   80 kg   then my weight is  

     W =   80 *9.8

      W =  784 \  N

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.1-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 262.88 N

Explanation:

Given:

Weight W = 150 N

Length of rope r = 4.1 m

Initial speed of ball v = 5.5 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the tension in the rope,

First find the mass of rod,

mg = 150                          ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

  m = \frac{150}{9.8}

  m = 15.3 kg

Tension in the rope is,

  T = mg + \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

  T = 150 + \frac{15.3 \times (5.5)^{2} }{4.1}

  T = 262.88 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 262.88 N
