Answer:

Explanation:

The earth pressure is the pressure exerted by the soil on the shoring system. They are three types of earth pressure which are:

a) Rest state: In this state, the retaining wall is stationary, this makes the lateral stress to be zero.

b) Active state: In this state, the wall moves away from the back fill, this leads to an internal resistance. Hence the active earth pressure is less than earth pressure at rest

c) Passive state: In this state the wall is pushed towards the back fill, this leads to shearing resistance. Hence, the passive earth pressure is greater than earth pressure at rest

Vikki [24]

Answer:

eccentrcity of orbit is 0.22

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Initial velocity of satellite = 8333.3 m/s

distance from the sun is 600 km

radius of earth is 6378 km

as satellite is acting parallel to the earth therefore $\theta angle = 0$

and radial component of given velocity is zero

we have $h = r_o v_r_o = 6378+600 =6.97*10^6 m$

h = 6.97*10^6 *8333.3 = 58.08*10^9 m^2/s

we know that

$\frac{1}{r} =\frac{GM}{h^2} \times ( i + \epsilon cos\theta)$

$GM = gr^2 = 9.81*(6.37*10^6)^2 = 398*10^{12} m^3/s$

$\frac{1}{6.97*10^6} =\frac{398*10^{12}}{(58.08*10^9)^2} \times ( i + \epsilon cos0)$

solvingt for $\epsilon)$

$\epsilon = 0.22)$

therefore eccentrcity of orbit is 0.22

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of solar cells is that electricity storage systems are not readily available. Excess energy generated by the solar panels are wasted except they are stored by solar batteries for later use. There are various systems for storing electricity from solar cells apart from solar batteries which is the common storage system. An example of another electricity storage system for solar cell is using the water electrolyzer to store solar energy which can be used to later generate hydroelectricity.

Advantages of a solar cell includes Renewable energy, Economy-friendly and environmental-friendly energy and good durability
