Complete Question

Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?

A) 33 m2  

B) 86 m2

C) 52 m2

D)  34 m2

Answer:

The value is  Area  =2.78 \   m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sides are  a =  2.4 m

                             b  =  2.3 m

                             c  =  1.5 m

Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

           s = \frac { a + b  + c  }{2 }

=>       s = \frac { 2.4  + 2.3  + 1.5   }{2 }

=>       s =3.1  \  m

Generally the using Heron's  formula we have that the  surface are a is  mathematically represented as

            Area  =  \sqrt{S (S -  a) (S - b )(S - c ) }

=>         Area  =  \sqrt{3.1  (3.1  -   2.4) (3.1  -  2.3 )(3.1  -  1.5 ) }

=>        Area  =2.78 \   m^2

LenaWriter [7]
Distance D = 5 cm = 0.05m 
Revolutions = 33.33 per min => t = 60 sec 
Acceleration is v^2 / r, so first we need to find velocity 
Velocity = (D x 3.14 x r) / t => (0.05 x 3.14 x 33.33) / 60 
Velocity = 0.0872 m/s 
Acceleration = v^2 / r = 0.0872^2 / 0.05 = 0.152.

Answer:

c) 8.3 x 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the volume of the glass of water from mL to cm^3:

V=250 mL = 250 cm^3

The relationship between mass and volume is:

d=\frac{M}{V}

where

d=1.00 g/cm^3 is the density of water

M is the total mass of the glass of water

V=250 cm^3 is the volume of the water in the glass

Solving for M,

M=dV=(1.00)(250)=250 g = 0.250 kg

Now we know that the mass of a single molecule of water is

m=3.0\cdot 10^{-26}kg

The total mass of the water in the glass can be written as

M=Nm

where

N is the number of molecules in the glass of water

Solving for N, we find:

N=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{0.250}{3.0\cdot 10^{-26}}=8.3\cdot 10^{24}

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of
viktelen [127]

Answer:

W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}

Put all the values,

U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

So, the work done is 2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J.
