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.

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energ
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<em>0.85c </em>

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon M_{0K} = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton M_{0P}  = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy E_{0K} = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy E_{0P} = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

E = γE_{0}

which can be written in this case as

E_{K} = γE_{0K} ...... equ 1

where E = total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0} = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }

where \beta = \frac{v}{c}

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

E_{K} = E_{0P} ......equ 2

where E_{K} is the total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0P} is the rest energy of the proton.

From E_{K} = E_{0P} = 938c²    

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } } = 1.89

1.89\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - \beta^{2}) = 1

3.57 - 3.57\beta^{2} = 1

2.57 = 3.57\beta^{2}

\beta^{2} = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

\beta = \sqrt{0.72} = 0.85

but, \beta = \frac{v}{c}

v/c = 0.85

v = <em>0.85c </em>

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

:\implies  Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

:\implies  50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = \dfrac{50\;N}{10\;kg}}

:\implies Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²
