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

Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 A.M. to drive to San Francisco 400 mi away. He manages to travel at a steady 50 mph in spite of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

Explanation:

let 'd' be distance b/w Los Angeles and San  Francisco i.e 400 mi

considering ,

Alan's speed v_A=50mph

Beth's speed v_B=60mph

->For Alan:

The time required t_A= d/v_A= 400/50 => 8h

-> For beth:

The time required t_B=\frac{d}{v_B} =\frac{400}{60} =>6\frac{2}{3} h => 6h 40m

Alan will reach at 8:00 a.m +8h = 4:00p.m.

Beth will reach at 9:00 a.m +6h 40m= 3:40p.m.

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

What is the average speed if a boy jogs 250 meters in 110 seconds
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2.27\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The average speed is given by the formula: \frac{distance}{time}

The distance covered is 250m , and the time is 110s.

Replacing in the formula: speed_{avg} = \frac{250 m}{110s}

Resulting in : speed_{avg} = 2.27 \frac{m}{s}.

Which of the following gives an atom's mass number? Question 1 options: a.number of neutrons b.number of neutrons + number of pr
jeka57 [31]
The atom´s mass number is the "number of neutrons and number of protons (option B) in an atomic nucleus. It might determine the atomic mass os atoms. Because neutrons and protons are baryons, the mass number A is identical to mass number B as of the nucleus, atom or iron.

Answer:

equipment for the measurement of microwave L bands with a range between 1 GHz and 2 GHz.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum can be calculated with the relationship between the speed of light, its wavelength and its frequency.

         c = λ f

For reasons of analysis and equipment used, it is artificially divided into ranges, with poorly defined limits and in some cases with overlaps between some.

For the case of analysis, f = 1.41 10⁹ Hz, we have the range called

* Microwave for f> 3 108 Hz to approximately f <3 1011 Hz

For the lower part of the frequency 3 10⁸ <f <3 10⁹ Hz we have UHF television channels and cell phones and military communications.

As the frequency observed by the researchers is in the UHF range, it is possible that they are using microwave equipment for communications, specifically equipment for the measurement of microwave L bands with a range between 1 GHz and 2 GHz.

If an object with more mass is pushed with the same force as an object with less mass the object with more mass will accelerate?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

smaller acceleration, so lower change in velocity

Explanation:

To answer this question we examine the equation that relates mass with force and with acceleration: F=m*a.

Since we want to know what happens to the acceleration, we solve for it in the equation: a=\frac{F}{m}

Notice that we are asked what happens when the force applied is the same, but now it is applied in an object with more mass (M).

We therefore would have to compare our initial form:

a=\frac{F}{m} with the new one: a=\frac{F}{M} wher the denominator is a larger quantity, therefore making our division/quotient smaller. Then, we conclude that the acceleration will be smaller, and therefore the change in velocity of the object will be lower.
