Problem 2: Estimate the electric power requirement, in kW, of a 1,400 ft2floor area (three bedroomshome) with three occupants. Using your home power estimate, predict the power requirementsfor a city of 300,000 people. Use these results to estimate the area (inkm2)of silicon solar cells requiredto satisfy the community power requirements. Assume, thepower requirements for an average single family home of 3 are 108.4 x 106BTU per year and solar panels insolation
Answer:
a) 3170 kw
b) 377 km^2
Explanation:
Estimate of electric power
a) Given :
Average power consumption for a family of 3 = 108.4 * 106 BTU per year = 0.0317 kw = 31.7 watts
The power requirement for a city of 300000 people
= 31.7 watts * 100000 = 3170000 watts = 3170 kw
b) Given :
Average solar panel insulation = 8.4 W /m^2
Estimate the area of silicon solar cells required to satisfy community power requirement
= (1 * 3170) * (1000/8.4 )
= 377.380 * 10^3 m2 = 377 km^2
The driver of a 3000 lb. car, coasting down a hill, sees a red light at the bottom, and must stop. His speed when he applies the brakes is 60 mph, and he is 100 feet (vertically) above the bottom of the hill. (a)How much energy as heat must be dissipated by the brakes if we neglect wind resistance and other frictional effects
Answer:
Explanation:
60 mph = 60 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60) ft /s
speed of car , v = 88 ft /s
kinetic energy of car = 1/2 m v²
= .5 x 3000 x 88²
= 11616 x 10³ poundal - foot
Potential energy = mgh
= 3000 x 32 x 100
= 9600 x 10³ poundal - foot
Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy
= ( 11616 + 9600 )x 10³
= 21216 x 10³ poundal - foot .
This energy is dissipated as heat when brakes are applied on the car to stop the car .

From the Water in each of the next move
An electron moves from point i to point f, in the direction of a uniform electric field. During this motion:Group of answer choicesthe work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system increasesthe work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system increasesthe work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreasesthe work done by the field is negative and the potential energy of the electron-field system decreasesthe work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron-field system does not change
Answer:
the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron field system decreases
Explanation:
This exercise asks to find the work and the potential energy of an electron in an electric field.
Work is defined by
W = F .d = F d cos θ
the electric force is
F_e = q E
W = q E d cos θ
since the charge of the electron is negative the force is in the opposite direction to the electric field
W = - e E d
we select the direction to the right is positive, point i is to the left of point f,
therefore the work moving from point i to point F has two possibilities
* The electric field lines go from i to f point , so that point i is on the side of the positive charges, so the electron approaches them, This movement is opposite to that indicated
* the field line reaches point i, this implies that the charges are negative, so the electrioc field is then negativeand the electron charge is negative too. The electron moves away from this point, this is in accordance with the indicated movement
In the latter case the electric field lines go from f to i point, therefore the Work is positive
Now let's examine the potential energy
ΔU = - q E .d
so we see that this definition is related to work,
ΔU = -W
Therefore, as the work is positive, the power energy must decrease
When reviewing the different answers, the correct ones are:
the work done by the field is positive and the potential energy of the electron field system decreases
The work done by the electron while moving from point [tex]i[/tex] to point [tex]f[/tex] in the direction of uniform electric field is negative and the potential energy of the electron increases.
An electron moves from point i to point f, in the direction of a uniform electric field, then the potential energy of the electron can be calculated s given below.
[tex]\Delta V=-qEd[/tex]
Where [tex]\Delta V[/tex] is the potential energy, [tex]E[/tex] is the electric field, [tex]q[/tex] is the charge and [tex]d[/tex] is the displacement of the electron.
The work done by the electron in the uniform electric field can be calculated as,
[tex]W = F\times d \times cos\theta[/tex]
Where [tex]W[/tex]is the work done by electron, [tex]F[/tex] is the electric force, [tex]d[/tex] is the displacement of the electron and for uniform electric field, the value of [tex]\theta[/tex] is zero.
Hence [tex]W=F\times d\times 1\\W=F \times d[/tex]
Electric force [tex]F = q E[/tex]
By substituting the value of electric force on the above formula,
[tex]W = qEd[/tex]
Hence, the relation between the work done the electron in an uniform electric field and potential energy of the electron can be given below.
[tex]W = -\Delta V[/tex]
The work done by the electron is negative and the potential energy of the electron increases.

Fusion probability is greatly enhanced when appropriate nuclei are brought close together, but mutual Coulomb repulsion must be overcome. This can be done using the kinetic energy of high-temperature gas ions or by accelerating the nuclei toward one another. Calculate the potential energy of two singly charged nuclei separated by 1.00 x 10-12 m by finding the voltage of one at that distance and multiplying by the charge of the other.
Answer:
the Potential Energy is 2.304 × 10⁻¹⁶ J
Explanation:
Given the data in the data in the question;
The expression for the electric potential energy between the charges can be expressed as follows;
PE = qV ------equ 1
where q is the charge and V is the electric potential
Also the formula for electric potential due to point a point in a field is;
V = kq / r -------equ 2
where k is the electrostatic constant and r is the distance form the charged particle
input equation 2 into 1
PE = q × kq / r
PE = kq²/r ------- equ 3
so we substitute into equation 3; 1.00×10⁻¹² for r, 9.00×10⁹ for k( constant ) and 1.60×10⁻¹⁹ for q( charge )
PE = ((9.00×10⁹) (1.60×10⁻¹⁹)²) / 1.00×10⁻¹²
PE = 2.304 × 10⁻²⁸ / 1.00×10⁻¹²
PE = 2.304 × 10⁻¹⁶ J
Therefore, the Potential Energy is 2.304 × 10⁻¹⁶ J
A box of bananas weighing 51.0 N rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.46 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.23. Part A If no horizontal force is applied to the box and the box is at rest, how large is the frictional force exerted on the box by the surface
static friction force = The coefficient of static friction * normal force
static friction force = 0.46 * 51 = 23.46 N
kinetic friction force = The coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force
kinetic friction force = 0.23 * 51 = 11.73 N
the applied force acting on the object must be more than 23.5 N if the object was stationary to move it and must be more than 11.7 N during the movement to keep the object moving
1. In calculating the work W necessary to stretch a spring from its natural length of 8 centimeters to a length of 12 centimeters, we need some more information about the spring. There are two distinct kinds of information, each of which separately would provide the necessary assistance so we could find W. Describe what the two additional kinds of information are.
Answer:
* displacement from equilibrium position
* The spring constant,
Explanation:
The work done by a spring is two times the expressions
W = ∫ F. dx
in a spring the force is given by hooke's law
F = - k Δx
we substitute
W = - k ∫ x dx cos θ
In the case of the spring, the displacement is in the same direction of work, therefore the angle is zero and the cosine is equal to 1
we integrate
W = ½ k Δx²
we can see that we need two parts to calculate the work
* displacement from equilibrium position
Δx = 12 -8 = 4 cm
* The spring constant, this constant can be found from the displacement measurements as a function of the applied force.

16. An object has a gravitational potential energy 41,772.5 Jof and has a mass of 1550 kg. How high is it
above the ground?
Plz help
Answer:
2.75 m.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J
Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg
Height (h) =?
Potential energy is the energy possess by an object due to its location. Mathematically, potential energy is expressed as shown below:
PE = mgh
Where
PE => potential energy
m => mass of the object
g => acceleration due to gravity
h => height to which the object is located.
With the above formula, we can obtain the height to which the object is located as follow:
Potential energy (PE) = 41772.5 J
Mass (m) of object = 1550 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) =?
PE = mgh
41772.5 = 1550 × 9.8 × h
41772.5 = 15190 × h
Divide both side by 15190
h = 41772.5 / 15190
h = 2.75 m
Thus, the object is located at 2.75 m above the ground.
A hanging wire made of an alloy of titanium with diameter 0.05 cm is initially 2.7 m long. When a 15 kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.68 cm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 48 grams, and its density is 4.54 g/cm3. Based on these experimental measurements, what is Young's modulus for this alloy of titanium
Answer:
Explanation:
Young's modulus of elasticity Y = stress / strain
stress = force / cross sectional area
= weight of 15 kg / π r²
= 15 x 9.8 / 3.14 x ( .025 x 10⁻² )²
stress = 74.9 x 10⁷ N / m²
strain = Δ L / L , Δ L is change in length and L is original length
Putting the values
strain = .0168 / 2.7 =.006222
Young's modulus of elasticity Y = 74.9 x 10⁷ / .006222
= 120.88 x 10⁹ N / m² .

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a particle of mass 1.48 g be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed electric field of magnitude 640 N/C
Answer:
[tex]q=-2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a particle, m = 1.48 g = 0.00148 kg
The electric field, E = 640 N/C
We need to find the charge of the particle when placed in a downward-directed electric field.
The force of gravity is balanced by the electric force such that,
mg = qE
Where
q is the charge of the particle
[tex]q=\dfrac{mg}{E}\\\\q=\dfrac{0.00148\times 9.8}{640}\\\\q=2.26\times 10^{-5}\ C[/tex]
q must be negative, the force must be upward (opposite direction of the electric field).

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.70 m/s2. At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 9.50 m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck
Answer:
66.85 m
Explanation:
We are given that
Acceleration ,a=[tex]2.7m/s^2[/tex]
Speed of truck, v=9.5 m/s
We have to find the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck.
Initial speed of automobile, u=0
We know that
[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(27)t^2=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]
For constant speed
Acceleration, a=0
Again
[tex]s=vt+0=9.5t[/tex]
[tex]9.5t=\frac{27}{2}t^2[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{9.5\times 2}{2.7}=7.037s[/tex]
Substitute the value of t
[tex]x=9.5(7.037)=66.85m[/tex]
Hence, the distance beyond which the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck=66.85 m
A clump of soft clay is thrown horizontally from 9.80 m above the ground with a speed of 20.0 m/s. Assume it sticks in place when it hits the ground At what time will the clay hit the ground
Answer:
Explanation:
The time to hit the ground will be same as time taken to fall from the height of 9.8 m with initial vertical velocity of zero .
Considering vertical displacement
initial velocity u = 0
displacement s = 9.8 m
acceleration a = g = 9.8 m /s²
time t = ?
s = ut + 1/2 g t²
9.8 = 0 + .5 x 9.8 x t²
t² = 2
t = √2 = 1.4 s
a long solid rod 4.5 cm in radius carries a uniform volume charge density. if the electric field strength at the surface of the rod (not near either end) is 16 kn/c, what is the volume charge density
Answer:
6.29 μC/m³
Explanation:
Volume charge density is the quantity of charge per unit volume.
The direction of the electric field was not specified, therefore the volume charge density (ρ) is given by:
2πRLE = ρπR²L/ε₀
ρ = 2Eε₀ / R
Where E = electric field strength = 16 kN/C = 16 * 10³ N/C, R = radius of rod = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m, ε₀ = relative permittivity of free space = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C² / Nm²
Therefore:
ρ = 2(16 * 10³ N/C)(8.85 * 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²) / 0.045 m = 6.29 * 10⁻⁶ C/m³
ρ = 6.29 μC/m³
