How do solar panels work with conduction, convection and radiation?

Physics

Answer:

<em>In the case of a solar thermal panel we are trying to heat above the ambient temperature so conduction and convection will work against us by taking heat from the panel to the out- side world. ... The sun (at 6000 C surface temperature) is hotter than the solar panel so the panel will get hot due to the solar radiation.</em>

A 27.0 g marble sliding to the right at 56.8 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 13.5 g marble moving in the same dir

Nataly [62]

Answer: $v_1=28.4 cm/s$

Explanation:

Given

mass of marble $m_1=27 gm$

velocity of marble $u_1=56.8 cm/s \approx 0.568 m/s$

mass of second marble $m_2=13.5 gm$

Velocity of second marble $u_2=14.2 cm/s \approx 0.142 m/s$

After collision 13.5 gm marble moves to the right at i.e. $v_2=71 cm/s$

Conserving momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$27\times 56.8+13.5\times 14.2=27\times v_1+13.5\times 71$

$1533.6+191.7=27\cdot v_1+958.5$

$27\cdot v_1=766.8$

$v_1=\frac{766.8}{27}=28.4 cm/s$

Consider a model of a hydrogen atom in which an electron is in a circular orbit of radius r = 5.92×10−11 m around a stationary p

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Explanation:

radius, r = 5.92 x 10^-11 m

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

As the electron is revolving in a circular path, it experiences a centripetal force which is balanced by the electrostatic force between the electron and the nucleus.

centripetal force = $\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Electrostatic force = $\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}$

where, k be the Coulombic constant, k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2

So, balancing both the forces we get

$\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{kq^{2}}{mr}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 5.92\times10^{-11}}}$

v = 2.068 x 10^6 m / s

Thus, the speed of the electron is give by 2.068 x 10^6 m / s.

Using Excel, or some other graphing software, plot the values of y as a function of x. (You will not submit this spreadsheet. Ho

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a) > x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept) x

1.10 0.98

b) $y = 0.98 x +1.10$

And if we compare this with the general model $y = mx +b$

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following data:

x: 1,2,3,4,5

y: 1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1, 6

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x<-c(1,2,3,4,5)

> y<-c(1.9,3.5,3.7,5.1,6)

> linearmodel<-lm(y~x)

And the output is given by:

> linearmodel

Call:

lm(formula = y ~ x)

Coefficients:

(Intercept) x

1.10 0.98

Part b

For this case we have the following trend equation given:

$y = 0.98 x +1.10$

And if we compare this with the general model $y = mx +b$

We see that the slope is m= 0.98 and the intercept b = 1.10

What does it mean to say that a wave is a cyclic, or periodic, disturbance

Ivenika [448]

Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point

So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.

This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion

This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order

For an example

$y = A sin(\omega t + kx + \phi)$

so here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"

Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value

Due to this phenomenon of repeatation of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.

(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s
