The average energy per unit time per unit area that reaches the upper atmosphere of the Earth from the Sun, called the solar con

stant, is 1.47 kW/m2. Because of absorption and re- flection by the atmosphere, about 0.9 kW/m2 reaches the surface of the earth on a clear day. How much energy is collected during 1 h of daylight by a window that measures 1.1 m by 1.5 m? The window is on a mount that rotates, keeping the window facing the sun so the sun's rays remain perpendicular to the window. Answer in units of MJ.

Answer: 5.34 MJ

Explanation: The window is a rectangle with area:

A = 1.1(1.5)

A = 1.65 m²

We know that only 0.9 kW/m² reaches Earth so:

P = 0.9\frac{kW}{m^{2}}(1.65)m^{2}

P = 1.485 x 10³ W

Watts is an unit of Power and it can also be written as J/s.

An hour has 3600s or 3.6 x 10³s, so:

E = 1.485 x 10³ \frac{J}{s}(3.6 x 10³s)

E = 5.346 x 10⁶ J

Mega is equal to 10⁶, then:

E = 5.35 MJ

A 1.1 m by 1.5 m window collects, during 1 hour of daylight, 5.35 MJ

What is the quality of the sound of an ambulance's siren when it moves toward a stationary hearer? What is the quality of the so
Damm [24]

Answer:

A) As the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch

B) As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.

Explanation:

From Doppler effect, the closer the source of sound gets to the observer, the higher the frequency and in turn the higher the pitch.

Meanwhile, the farther a source goes from an observer, the lower the frequency of the sound and also the lower the pitch.

Thus, as the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch.

As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.

A 1.0-kilogram ball is dropped from the roof of a building 40. meters tall. What is the approximate time of fall? [Neglect air r
Effectus [21]
H = 40 m, the height from which the ball is dropped.
m = 1 kg, the mass of the ball

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and neglect air resistance.

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
If t = the time of flight, then
40 m = (1/2)*g*(t s)² = 0.5*9.8*t²
t² = 40/4.9 = 8.1633
t = 2.857 s

Answer:  2.9 s (nearest tenth)
