Solar heating works by getting the sunlight in order to make the solar system work, and by doing that it increases energy which is thermal energy.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid either liquid or air and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat.

hope this helps : )

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts help.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$H = 532 m$

Explanation:

When teacher falls into the cliff then she shout for Help at the same time

so here we know that sound will go down and reflect back up

so here in 3 s distance traveled by the sound

$d = vt$

$d = 340 \times 3$

$d = 1020 m$

now in the same time the distance that teacher will fall down is given as

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(3^2)$

$d_1 = 44.1 m$

now total distance traveled by teacher and sound in 3 s

$d_{total} = d + d_1$

$d_{total} = 1020 + 44.1$

this total distance must be equal to twice the height of the cliff

$2H = 1064.1 m$

$H = 532 m$

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

When put in contact each other, and isolated, both blocks will exchange heat till they reach to thermal equilibrium.
During this process, the body at a higher temperature, will loss heat, tat it will be gained by the other body.
The equilibrium condition will be reached when the following equation be met:

$\Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )$

Replacing by the values of T₀A = 300º C, and T₀B = 400ºC, and simplifying common terms as mA = mB, we can solve for Tfin, as follows:

$(400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC$

So, when both blocks reach to equilibrium, they will be at a common final temperature, 350ºC.
When put in contact with block C, at the same temperature, at that instant, the three blocks will have the same common temperature of 350 ºC.
So, option b) is the right one.

A 1.2 kg block of wood hangs motionless from strings. A 50 gram bullet, traveling horzontally, strikes the block and becomes emb

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass of block m1 = 1.2 kg

mass of bullet m2 = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

combine speed V= 8.0 m/s

to find out

speed of the bullet before it hit the block

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum that is

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V .............1

here m1 is mass of block and m2 is mass of bullet and v1 is initial speed of block i.e 0 and v2 is initial speed of bullet and M is combine mass of block and bullet and V is combine speed of block and bullet

put all value in equation 1

m1 × v1 + m2 × v2 = M × V

1.2 × 0 + 0.05 × v2 = ( 1.2 + 0.05 ) × 8

solve it we get

v2 = 200 m/s

so speed of the bullet before it hit the block is 200 m/s

What change in entropy occurs when a 0.15 kg ice cube at -18 °C is transformed into steam at 120 °c 4.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The change in entropy of the given process is 1324.8 J/K

Explanation:

The processes involved in the given problem are:

$1.)H_2O(s)(-18^oC,255K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\\2.)H_2O(s)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\\3.)H_2O(l)(0^oC,273K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\\4.)H_2O(l)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\\5.)H_2O(g)(100^oC,373K)\rightarrow H_2O(g)(120^oC,393K)$
