Answer:

The average energy that the solar panel delivers to the water in one hour is 798,000 Joules

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the water that flows to the solar panels, T₁ = 15°

The mass of the hot water the panel supplies during the day, m = 3.5 kg

The temperature of the hot water supplied by the panel, T₂ = 65 °C

The heat capacity of the water, c = 4,200 J/(kg·°C)

The heat delivered to the solar panels in one hour, ΔQ, is given by the following formula

ΔQ = m·c·ΔT

m = 3.8 kg, c = 4,200 J/(kg·°C), and ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 65 °C - 15 °C = 50 °C

∴ ΔQ = 3.8 kg × 4,200 J/(kg·°C) × 50°C = 798,000 joules

∴ΔQ = 798,000 joules

The average energy that the solar panel delivers to the water in one hour, ΔQ = 798,000 joules.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

Can someone help me?

Car X traveled 3d distance in t time. Car Y traveled 2d distance in t time. Therefore, the speed of car X, is 3d/t, the speed of car Y, is 2d/t. Since speed is the distance taken in a given time.

In figure-2, they are at the same place, we are asked to find car Y's position when car X is at line-A. We can calculate the time car X needs to travel to there. Let's say that car X reaches line-A in t' time.

$V_x .t' = 3d\\ \frac{3d}{t} .t' = 3d\\ t'=t$

Okay, it takes t time for car X to reach line-A. Let's see how far does car Y goes.

$V_y.t = \frac{2d}{t} .t = 2d$

We found that car Y travels 2d distance. So, when car X reaches line-A, car Y is just a d distance behind car X.

Explain why sugar was used in this experiment. How does the experiment relate to a baker adding yeast to bread to make it rise?

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called "respiration". ... So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= $(m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)$
