Why were early solar panels not popular

Physics
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1:  They had toxic metals and they were massive. They took up way too much space for some people's money and they weren't exactly the best and most efficient so some people didn't like them.

3: Solar panels would work very well in space because they don't have clouds and dust to block out sunlight like there is on Earth. In space, there wouldn't be a source such as wind or coal or anything, so it would be more efficient to use solar panels since there is a more direct sunlight path.

A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 6.75 m / s . If the salmon is in a stream with
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).

The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position of the salmon at time t.

x0 = initial horizotal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration of gravity.

Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:

vy = v0y + g · t

To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:

v0² = v0x² + v0y²

Solving for v0y:

v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)

v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)

v0y = 6.55 m/s

Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):

vy = v0y + g · t

0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t

-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 0.67 s

Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²

y = 2.19 m

The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.

The voltage across the terminals of a generator is 5.7 v when it supplies a current of 0.3 A. It becomes 5.1 V when I=0.9A. Find
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

  • The emf of the generator is 6V
  • The internal resistance of the generator is 1 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

terminal voltage, V = 5.7 V, when the current, I = 0.3 A

terminal voltage, V = 5.1 V, when the current, I = 0.9 A

The emf of the generator is calculated as;

E = V + Ir

where;

E is the emf of the generator

r is the internal resistance

First case:

E = 5.7   + 0.3r -------- (1)

Second case:

E = 5.1 + 0.9r -------- (2)

Since the emf E, is constant in both equations, we will have the following;

5.1 + 0.9r = 5.7   + 0.3r  

collect similar terms together;

0.9r - 0.3r = 5.7 - 5.1

0.6r = 0.6

r = 0.6/0.6

r = 1 Ω

Now, determine the emf of the generator;

E = V + Ir

E = 5.1 + 0.9x1

E = 5.1 + 0.9

E = 6 V

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 3 months. The line
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Explanation:

given

T = 3months = 7.9 × 10⁶s

orbital speed = 88 × 10³m/s

V= 2πr÷T

∴ r = (V×T) ÷ 2π

r = (88km × 7.9 × 10⁶s) ÷ 2π

r = 1.10 × 10⁸km

using kepler's 3rd law

mass of both stars = (seperation diatance)³/(orbital speed)²

M₁ + M₂ = (2r)³/(\frac{1}{4}year)²

= (1.06 × 10²⁵)/(6.2×10¹³)

1.71×10¹²kg

since M₁ = M₂ =1.71×10¹²kg ÷ 2

M₁ = M₂ = 8.55×10¹¹kg

If the acceleration of motorboat is 4m/s^2 and the motorboat stsrtsfrol.Rest what is velocity after 6.0 s
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

24 m/s

Explanation:

Using v = u + at where u = initial velocity of the motorboat = 0 m/s (since the boat starts from rest), a = acceleration = 4 m/s², t = time = 6 s and v = velocity of the motorboat after 6.0 s.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

v = u + at

= 0 m/s + 4 m/s² × 6.0 s

= 0 m/s + 24 m/s

= 24 m/s
