Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using solar cells to generate electricity. x

When you drop a pebble from height a it reaches the ground with speed v if there is no air resistance. from what height should you drop it so it will reach the ground with three times the speed? (a) 9m (b) 3m (c) 6m (d) 18m

Achild has maximum walking speed of 1.6 m/s. what is the length of the child's legs? 0.26 m

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
