Answer:

15%

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Energy source= 300J

Useful energy = 45J

Waste energy = 255J

Required

The efficiency of the solar system

Step two:

The efficiency is computed by factoring only the useful work and the energy source

Efficiency= 45/300*100

Efficiency= 0.15*100

Efficiency= 15%

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}

k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}

t=20.7\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.

KengaRu [80]

The answer is carbon dioxide. This primordial earths’ atmosphere was composed by gasses from degassing of the earth's interior after its formation. It is after the beginning of life that oxygen levels began to rise and levels of carbon dioxide began to reduce in the atmosphere (as a result of photosynthesis).

The magnitude of the Poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.724 W/m2. What is the maximum va
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

7.78x10^-8T

Explanation:

The Pointing Vector S is

S = (1/μ0) E × B

at any instant, where S, E, and B are vectors. Since E and B are always perpendicular in an EM wave,

S = (1/μ0) E B

where S, E and B are magnitudes. The average value of the Pointing Vector is

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] E0 B0

where E0 and B0 are amplitudes. (This can be derived by finding the rms value of a sinusoidal wave over an integer number of wavelengths.)

Also at any instant,

E = c B

where E and B are magnitudes, so it must also be true at the instant of peak values

E0 = c B0

Substituting for E0,

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] (c B0) B0 = [c/(2 μ0)] (B0)²

Solve for B0.

Bo = √ (0.724x2x4πx10^-7/ 3 x10^8)

= 7.79 x10 ^-8 T
