A community plans to build a facility to convert solar radiation to electrical power. The community requires 1.00 MW of power, a

nd the system to be installed has an efficiency of 30.0% (that is, 30.0% of the solar energy incident on the surface is converted to useful energy that can power the community). Assuming sunlight has a constant intensity of 1 000 W/m2, what must be the effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation?

We will find that the effective area that must be used to get the desired power is 3,333.33 m^2

The information we have is:

power needed = 1.00 MW = 1,000,000 watts

Energy of the Sun = 1,000 W/m^2

We know that the system has an efficiency of 30%, then per meter square, the energy converted is:

E = 0.3*1,000 W/m^2 = 300 W/m^2

Now we need to find the area (in meters squared) such that:

A*E  = 1,000,000 watts

A*(300 W/m^2) =  1,000,000 watts

A = (1,000,000 watts)/(300 W/m^2) = 3,333.33 m^2

So the effective area that must be used is A =  3,333.33 m^2

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.

At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q.What is the magnitude and direction
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

magnitude of force on charge 2Q  = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

Direction of force on charge = 61 ⁰

Explanation:

The magnitude on the force on the charge can be evaluated by finding the net force acting on the charge 2Q  i.e x-component of the net force and the y-component of the net force

║F║ = \sqrt{f_{x}^{2} + f_{y}^{2}    }  =  after considering the forces coming from Q, 3Q and 4Q AND APPLYING COULOMBS LAW

magnitude of force acting on 2Q = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

The direction of the force on charge 2Q is calculated as

tan ∅ = \frac{f_{y} }{f_{x} } = 1.8284

therefore ∅ = tan^{-1}  1.8284

= 61⁰
