Answer:

Energy production requires the setting up of a complete interconnected chain from generation of energy from the root source of the energy to the storage of the generated energy and the eventual utilization of the energy when required

Solar energy, indirectly, continues to be the main source of energy, however, the direct use of solar energy to power the systems we use in our everyday life, require the development of technologies, such as high efficiency solar cells, means of energy storage, and compatible efficient energy usage which are industrial areas that are seeing good progress but in which the current developed equipment are expensive to produce, and  due to their efficiency, are undergoing further research and development

Therefore, due to the continuous increasing improvement in solar technology which can observed, the use of the produced energy through solar is evolving, and therefore, will continue to play a continuously increasing but lower role compared to other sources of energy which have been developed to satisfactory level that can drive an industry, considering the financial investment involved

What is the physics definition of work? How is work calculated? How would you calculate the amount of work done in a slapshot.
loris [4]

Answer:

1) Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. 2) Work is calculated through joules. 3) It's possible to calculate work by multiplying the amount of force applied by the distance that the force is applied. If we know the amount of force the stick applies to the puck and the distance that the stick is applying the force to the puck, we can figure out the amount of work done.

Which statement best describes the acceleration of the box? A) The box accelerates at 1. 0 m/s squared to the right because the
Korolek [52]

The box accelerates at 1. 0 m/s² to the right because the net force is 17N to the right . This statement clearly depicts the relation between force and acceleration. Hence option A is correct.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity of the body. Its unit is m/sec².It is a vector quantity. It requires both magnitudes as well as direction to define.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

The direction of acceleration is in the direction of net force acted.

Hence option A is correct.

To learn more about acceleration refer to the link;

An oil film (n = 1.48) of thickness 290 nm floating on water is illuminated with white light at normal incidence. What is the wa
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct option is  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  refractive index of oil film is k =  1.48

   The  thickness is t =  290 \ nm  =  290*10^{-9} \ m

   

Generally for constructive interference

      2t  =  [m  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{k}

For reflection of a bright fringe m =  1

 =>   2 * (290*10^{-9})  =  [1  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{1.48}

=>     \lambda  =  5.723 *10^{-7} \  m

This wavelength fall in the range of a yellow light
