The biggest drawback to extensive use of photovoltaic cells is
they produce DC electricity.
they don’t work well in cold climates.
they are expensive to manufacture.
they kill bats and birds.
2.
Wind turbines are made to be very tall. This is because
they are more stable when they are taller.
the wind blows faster higher up.
they are quieter the higher up they are.
they are safer the higher up they are.
The nearby town of Bellefonte, PA features the Gamble Mill, an old mill originally used to grind grain into flour in the 1800s for hydropower. The mill dam, pond, mill race and tail race are still in place and functional. The mill building is now a restaurant (currently for sale), but all the water works are owned by the borough. The municipal manager wants to put the system back to work as a small hydroelectric system to help supply the borough's electricity. Does this idea make sense? How much power could this system produce? The height difference between the mill race and the tail race is ten feet (3 meters), and the stream can supply, on average, 100 cubic feet of water per second (2.8 m3/sec). The planned turbine would be 72% efficient under those conditions. Power (watts) density of water* height flow rate acceleration of gravity coefficient of efficiency NOTE: the coefficient of gravity is 9.81 for this problem Don't round your answers.
I need help finding initial ke, and final ke.

Explain the meaning of this statement. (Direct your response to answering the question: Is it really lost? If not, what then?)arrow_forwardHere is an extract from our electricity bill. The coloured text has been added to highlight the rate, with the 'rate' being the price per kW.hr: We buy electrical energy at ENERGY RATE COST USED 92 Days 294.3 kWh 24.9000c $73.27 ENERGY PURCHASED RATE CREDIT (03/12/13 - 04/03/14) 92 Days 6.6000c 883.4 kWh $58.30 but we sell them (solar) electrical energy at Over the 92 days of this bill, what is the average rate at which the company supplied energy to this household? P = Watts. (Take the 92 days as 2 significant figures: the electricity meter is read by an employee whose time of reading could be at any time during the day.) Also, don't give an answer, but think about how many 'labourers' (using the example in the lesson) we would need to employ to provide energy at this average rate.arrow_forward
- PLEASE FOR THE SOLUTION OF THISarrow_forwardPlease see attached G12 Physics question 18.4. Thanksarrow_forwardIn later years, the annual of our countryelectric energy consumption will be about 300,000 GWhand 12.5% of that is from the sun.it is planned to be met. Solar panelsaverage sunbathing in various regionsduration 1500 hours and hours of solar radiationthe average value is 0.125 kWh / square meter.The area of each of the PV panels to be used is 2 square meters andits yield is 18%. The sun's rays come at an angle of 20 degrees with the perpendicular surfaces of the panels. According to these values, calculate the total area covered by PV panels of solar power plants to be installed as “square meters per kilo”. 1 kWh=860 kcal=3600 kJ, 1 year=8760 hours, 1 HP = 735 W.arrow_forward
