The ball with smaller mass (baseball) will travel faster when he pitcher gives the two balls the same amount of kinetic energy.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the baseball, m = 145 g = 0.145 kg
  • Mass of the softball, M = 185 g = 0.185 kg

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • Kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

The kinetic energy of an object in motion is calculated as follows;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

The speed of each ball with respect to their masses is calculated as follows;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\2K.E = mv^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\

Thus, the ball with smaller mass (baseball) will travel faster when he pitcher gives the two balls the same amount of kinetic energy.

How is solar power used to generate electricity?

This is the shortest answer, you can google: net meter, inverter, solar panels and the roof system for a shorter one.

The roof system

In most solar systems, solar panels are placed on the roof. An ideal site will have no shade on the panels, especially during the prime sunlight hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; a south-facing installation will usually provide the optimum potential for your system, but other orientations may provide sufficient production. Trees or other factors that cause shading during the day will cause significant decreases to power production. The importance of shading and efficiency cannot be overstated. In a solar panel, if even just one of its 36 cells is shaded, power production will be reduced by more than half. Experienced installation contractors such as NW Wind & Solar use a device called a Solar Pathfinder to carefully identify potential areas of shading prior to installation.

Not every roof has the correct orientation or angle of inclination to take advantage of the sun's energy. Some systems are designed with pivoting panels that track the sun in its journey across the sky. Non-tracking PV systems should be inclined at an angle equal to the site’s latitude to absorb the maximum amount of energy year-round. Alternate orientations and/or inclinations may be used to optimize energy production for particular times of day or for specific seasons of the year.

Solar panels

Solar panels, also known as modules, contain photovoltaic cells made from silicon that transform incoming sunlight into electricity rather than heat. (”Photovoltaic” means electricity from light — photo = light, voltaic = electricity.)

Solar photovoltaic cells consist of a positive and a negative film of silicon placed under a thin slice of glass. As the photons of the sunlight beat down upon these cells, they knock the electrons off the silicon. The negatively-charged free electrons are preferentially attracted to one side of the silicon cell, which creates an electric voltage that can be collected and channeled. This current is gathered by wiring the individual solar panels together in series to form a solar photovoltaic array. Depending on the size of the installation, multiple strings of solar photovoltaic array cables terminate in one electrical box, called a fused array combiner. Contained within the combiner box are fuses designed to protect the individual module cables, as well as the connections that deliver power to the inverter. The electricity produced at this stage is DC (direct current) and must be converted to AC (alternating current) suitable for use in your home or business.

Inverter

The inverter is typically located in an accessible location, as close as practical to the modules. In a residential application, the inverter is often mounted to the exterior sidewall of the home near the electrical main or sub panels. Since inverters make a slight noise, this should be taken into consideration when selecting the location.

The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into 120-volt AC that can be put to immediate use by connecting the inverter directly to a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel.

The inverter, electricity production meter, and electricity net meter are connected so that power produced by your solar electric system will first be consumed by the electrical loads currently in operation. The balance of power produced by your solar electric system passes through your electrical panel and out onto the electric grid. Whenever you are producing more electricity from your solar electric system than you are immediately consuming, your electric utility meter will turn backwards!

Net meter

In a solar electric system that is also tied to the utility grid, the DC power from the solar array is converted into 120/240 volt AC power and fed directly into the utility power distribution system of the building. The power is “net metered,” which means it reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill. These grid-tied systems automatically shut off if utility power goes offline, protecting workers from power being back fed into the grid during an outage. These types of solar-powered electric systems are known as “on grid” or “battery-less” and make up approximately 98% of the solar power systems being installed today.

Which of the following aqueous solutions has the highest boiling point?A. 1.25 M Ca(NO3)2B. 1.25 M KNO3C. 1.25 M CH3OHD. 2.50 M
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Ca(NO3)2 has the highest boiling point ( option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A. 1.25 M Ca(NO3)2

B. 1.25 M KNO3

C. 1.25 M CH3OH

D. 2.50 M C6H12O6

Step 2: Calculate highest boiling point

The boiling point depends on the van't Hoff factor

This shows the particles produced when the substance is dissolved. For non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van' t Hoff factor is 1.

Ca(NO3)2 → Ca^2+ + 2NO3- → Van't Hoff factor = 3

KNO3 → K+ + NO3- → Van't Hoff factor = 2

CH3OH is a non-elektrolyte → Van't Hoff factor = 1

C6H12O6 is a non-elektrolyte → Van't Hoff factor = 1

Ca(NO3)2 has the highest boiling point
