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

A negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (
Sergeu [11.5K]
The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is  √(2² + 3²) = √13 m  from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.

Joaquin mows the lawn at his grandmother’s home during the summer months. Joaquin measured the
nordsb [41]
Velocity is define as how fast an object is moving, and in what direction, it is a vector quantity, meaning velocity has both magnitude and direction. Anything goes to the left is negative, and anything goes to the right is positive.

a. Direction from east to west, given distance 11.5 meters, and time of 7.10 s

V = displacement/time  V = -11.5/7.10 S  V = -1.62 m/s  (going left)

b. Joaquin reaches his original position. Displacement is now zero.

    Velocity of the lawnmower is equal to "zero" but if we calculate for the average speed of the lawn, you just have to add the distance covered and the time it take to go back at the original position or point of origin

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6800 rpm . When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in
tangare [24]
The angular acceleration of the blade when it's switched off is (-6800 rev/min) divided by (2.8 sec) = -2,428.6 rev/(min-sec) = -40.5 rev/sec^2 .

Which is one way scientists indicate how precise and accurate there experimental measurements are
kherson [118]
They do the method 3 times to be sure. Because if you do it once, that could mean anything. If you do it twice, it may or may not have the same result. If you do it 3 times and it matches one of the previous answers, then it's likely that it's correct.
