why is solar power a renewable energy source​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Solar energy is a renewable resource, meaning it won't ever run out or be in short supply. ... Solar energy reaches us via the sun's rays, while fossil fuels come from ancient carbon-rich remains on earth. So, as long as the sun is shining, solar energy will be around.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2
It is a source of energy that won't run out with regular use. Popular sources of renewable energy include solar, wind and hydroelectric (or tidal).
Explanation:
A renewable energy source is simply one that won't run out. This means that you can consistently use it to produce energy and unlike fossil fuels, it won't use up supplies. For this reason, renewable energy often comes from cycles (like that of the tides) or from a constant in the environment. An example of a non-renewable energy source is fossil fuels. We will one day (in the not so far future) run out of fossil fuels as they take millions of years to produce, and we use so much of them up.
Renewable energy sources are getting more and more in demand as we run out of fossil fuels and realise their effect on the atmosphere. Here are a few well known examples.
Solar energy - this is where the energy from the sun is harnessed to produce electricity, or directly heat houses. By creating a panel with a large surface area and heat absorbent surface, it can absorb a large amount of the suns thermal and light energy to either heat up water in pipes (which will then heat houses), or to create electricity by "exciting" electrons (small particles which play a large part in transporting energy) in silicon using the sun's rays (or photons). However, solar energy can be a little unreliable as it requires clear skies and sunlight.
Wind - you may have seen large wind turbines along coastlines. This is because coasts receive a lot of wind, which can provide a force strong enough to turn a large turbine - then connected to a generator allowing us to harness the energy of the wind and turn it into electricity. Again, due to it relying on the weather, this is not a method that will 100% produce energy all the time.
Tidal - this is perhaps one of the most reliable methods, as we can rely on the tide coming in and out each day. It works by building a large dam across an water body affected by the tide. In order for the water to move in the direction it wants to, it has to push it's way through a turbine. The turbine is moved by the water and in turn drives a generator.
This is similar to hydroelectric, where instead of the tide, the energy of water flowing downhill is used to turn the turbine.

Answers

Answer:

a.  71884.8 π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁵(9 - y)dy

b.  23961.6 π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁵(5 - y)dy

c. 99840π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁶rdr

Step-by-step explanation:

.(a) Write down an integral for the work needed to pump all of the water to a point 4 feet above the tank.

The work done, W = ∫mgdy where m = mass of cylindrical tank = ρA([5 + 4] - y) where ρ = density of water = 62.4 lb/ft³, A = area of base of tank = πd²/4 where d = diameter of tank = 12 ft.( we add height of the tank + the height of point above the tank and subtract it from the vertical point above the base of the tank, y to get 5 + 4 - y) and g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

So,

W = ∫mgdy

W = ∫ρA([5 + 4] - y)gdy

W = ∫ρA(9 - y)gdy

W = ρgA∫(9 - y)dy

W = ρgπd²/4∫(9 - y)dy

we integrate W from  y from 0 to 5 which is the height of the tank

W = ρgπd²/4∫₀⁵(9 - y)dy

substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have

W = 62.4 lb/ft³π(12 ft)² (32 ft/s²)/4∫₀⁵(9 - y)dy

W = 71884.8 π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁵(9 - y)dy

.(b) Write down an integral for the fluid force on the side of the tank

Since force, F = ∫PdA where P = pressure = ρgh where h = (5 - y) since we are moving from h = 0 to h = 5. So, P = ρg(5 - y)

The differential area on the side of the tank is given by

dA = 2πrdy

So.  F = ∫PdA

F = ∫ρg(5 - y)2πrdy

Since we are integrating from y = 0 to y = 5, we have our integral as

F = ∫ρg2πr(5 - y)dy

F = ∫ρgπd(5 - y)dy    since d = 2r

substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have

F = ∫₀⁵62.4 lb/ft³π(12 ft) × 32 ft/s²(5 - y)dy

F = 23961.6 π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁵(5 - y)dy

.(c) How would your answer to part (a) change if the tank was on its side

The work done, W = ∫mgdr where m = mass of cylindrical tank = ρAh where ρ = density of water = 62.4 lb/ft³, A = curved surface area of cylindrical tank = 2πrh  where r = radius of tank, d = diameter of tank = 12 ft. and h =  height of the tank = 5 ft and g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

So,

W = ∫mgdr

W = ∫ρAhgdr

W = ∫ρ(2πrh)hgdr

W = ∫2ρπrh²gdr

W = 2ρπh²g∫rdr

we integrate from r = 0 to r = d/2 where d = diameter of cylindrical tank = 12 ft/2 = 6 ft

So,

W = 2ρπh²g∫₀⁶rdr

substituting the values of the other variables into the equation, we have

W = 2 × 62.4 lb/ft³π(5 ft)² × 32 ft/s²∫₀⁶rdr

W = 99840π lb/ft-s²∫₀⁶rdr

If tan θ=1/4 and cos θ≤0, find the exact value of sin x

If you can answer this soon that would be great.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(theta) = Sin(theta) / cos(theta)

1/4 = sin(theta) / sqrt(1 - sin^2(theta) )    Cross multiply

sqrt(1 - sin^2(theta)) = 4*sin^2(theta)      Square both sides.

1 - sin^2(theta) = 16 * sin^4 (theta)         Transfer the left side to the right side.

0 = 16 sin^4(theta) + sin^2(theta) - 1

Use the quadratic formula to find a value for sin^2(theta)

a = 16

b = 1

c = - 1

I'll leave solving the quadratic to you.

There are two answers

sin^2(theta)= .22069

The other root is - 0.28 which you cannot use.

Sin(theta) = +/- 0.4698

Cos(theta) is < 0 in quads 2 and 3

So sin(theta) is positive in quad 2

and sin(theta) is minus in quad 3

The State Association of Retired Teachers has recently taken flak from some of its members regarding the poor choice of the association's name. The association's by-laws require that more than 60 percent of the association must approve a name change. Rather than convene a meeting, it is first desired to use a sample to determine if meeting is necessary. Suppose the association decided to conduct a test of hypothesis using the following null and alternative hypotheses:
H0: p = 0.6
HA: p > 0.6
Define a Type II Error in the context of this problem.
A.They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.
B.They conclude that exactly 60% of the association wants a name change when that is, in fact, true.
C.They conclude that more than 60% of the association wants a name change when that is, in fact, true.
D.They conclude that exactly 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.

Answers

Answer:

D.They conclude that exactly 60% of the association wants a name change when, in fact, that is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Type 2 error results in a statistical analysis when a false null is incorrectly accepted.

The hypothesis Given :

H0: p = 0.6

HA: p > 0.6

The null in this context is that, the percentage of members who wants a name change is 60% ; while the alternative is that more than 60% wants a name change.

In this context, accepting a false null means Making a conclusion that exactly 60% wants a name change while it is actually FALSE.

Answers

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the number of adult tickets sold as x. Then, the number of tickets for children would be 142-x

The total cost of all the tickets would be:

6.2(142 - x) + 9.9(x) = 1183.80

Simplify and solve

3.7x + 880.4 = 1183.8

3.7x = 303.4

x = 82

So, the answer is 82 tickets.

You find an owner survey in an auto magazine that indicates that the standard deviation of maintenance costs is smaller for Model B. Based on this information, which of the following statements is most appropriate?
A. Model B with the smaller standard deviation is preferable, because the smaller value implies that the mean is a more reliable representation of maintenance costs.
B. Model A with the larger standard deviation is preferable. Cecause the larger value implies a smaller amount of variation in the data

The standard deviation is a measure of the variability of a dataset about a mean value. Larger values of standard deviation implies that the values varies Hugely about the mean whole smaller variability measure values mean that the data only varies a little about the mean. The implication of having a large variability value is that, low and high values in the data can be very different from the mean values, hence, lowering the reliability of Mean value.

Solve this system of linear equations. Separate
the x- and y-values with a comma.
-2x = 8 - 6y
-15x = 21 - 6y

Answers

Answer:

Your solution is (-1, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x = 8 - 6y

-15x = 21 - 6y

Let's solve this through elimination.

Right away I can see that our y-values are the same. We want to eliminate one variable at a time, so let's make one of the -6y's a positive by multiplying each term in the equation by -1.

-15x = 21 - 6y

-1(-15x = 21 - 6y)

15x = -21 + 6y

Now we have a new equation in our system.

-2x = 8 - 6y

15x = -21 + 6y

Now, eliminate by performing each action given by the terms.

-2x = 8 - 6y

15x = -21 + 6y

___________

13x = -13

Divide both sides by 13 to isolate x.

x = -1

Now that we know x, plug it back into one of the original equations to find y.

-2x = 8 - 6y

-2(-1) = 8 - 6y

Multiply.

2 = 8 - 6y

Subtract 8 from both sides.

-6 = -6y

Divide both sides by -6.

y = 1

Your solution is (-1, 1).

Check your answer by plugging both values into one of the original equations.

-15x = 21 - 6y

-15(-1) = 21 - 6(1)

Multiply.

15 = 21 - 6

Add 6 to both sides.

15 = 15

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

(-1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x = 8 -6y *

-15x = 21 - 6y

Solve for -6y:

-6y = -8 - 2x *

-15x = 21 - 6y

Substitute the given value of 6y into second equation, you get:

-15x = 21 -8 - 2x

Solving this equation for x gets you:

x = -1

Substitute this value (x = -1) into the equation (-6y = -8 - 2x):

-6y = -8 - 2x (-1)

This provides y:

y = 1
