How can solar energy be used to produce electricity

Physics
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Electricity is generated from solar energy predominantly by the use of photovoltaic cells.

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life and the bulk of the solar system at large.

Energy from the sun is used for various life processes and other abiotic uses.

In order to harness the sun's energy to produce electricity, a photovoltaic cell is required. These cells are often used in making solar panels which are available in most places today.

Electricity is produced by the movement of electrons within a cell or a body. In a photovolatic cell, the radiation from the sun causes chemical reactions to occur on the surface of these materials. The reaction is such in which electrons are produced. The movement of electrons in these cells results in the generation of electricity.

In some other cases, sunlight can be concentrated for heating water to produce steam. Steam can be used to drive turbines to produce electricity too.

How do I calculate how many meters are in 7.2 light years?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

68.2 Quadrillion meters

Explanation:

A lightyear is the distance that light travels in one year.

Speed of light is 3*10^8\ m/s

So light covers 300,000,000 meters in one second.

One year has 31536000 seconds so , light covers

9.461*10^{15}\  meters\ in\ one\ year

so 7.2 light years is

7.2*(9.461*10^{15})\\6.82*10^{16}

so 7.2 light years is

6.82 x 10^(16) meters or

68.2 Quadrillion meters

A 3.9 kg block is pushed along a horizontal floor by a force of magnitude 30 N at a downward angle θ = 40°. The coefficient of k
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force  F_{fri} = 6.446 N

The acceleration of the block a = 6.04 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 3.9 kg

\theta = 40°

\mu = 0.22

(a). The frictional force is given by

F_{fri} = \mu R_{N}

R_{N} = mg \cos \theta

R_{N} = 3.9 × 9.81 × \cos 40

R_{N} = 29.3 N

Therefore the frictional force

F_{fri} = 0.22 × 29.3

F_{fri} = 6.446 N

(b). Block acceleration is given by

F_{net} = F - F_{fri}

F = 30 N

F_{fri} = 6.446 N

F_{net} = 30 - 6.446

F_{net} = 23.554 N

The net force acting on the block is given by

F_{net}  = ma

23.554 = 3.9 × a

a = 6.04 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

This is the acceleration of the block.

Problem:
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a) x = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(524πt) m

b) v = -1.5 *10⁻⁴(524π)sin(524πt) m/s

   a =  -1.5 *10⁻⁴(524π)²cos(524πt) m/s²

c) x(1) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴ m = 1.5 *10⁻1 mm

x(0.001) = -1.13*10⁻⁵ m = -1.13*10⁻² mm

Explanation:

x = Acos(ωt)

ω = 2πf = 2π(262) = 524π rad/s

x = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(524πt)

v = y' = -Aωsin(ωt)

v = -1.5 *10⁻⁴(524π)sin(524πt)

a = v' = -Aω²cos(ωt)

a =  -1.5 *10⁻⁴(524π)²cos(524πt)

not sure about the last part as time is generally not given in mm

I will show at 1 second and at 0.001 s to try to cover bases

x(1) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(524π(1))

x(1) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(524π)

x(1) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴(1)

x(1) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴ m = 1.5 *10⁻1 mm

x(0.001) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(524π(0.001))

x(0.001) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴cos(0.524π)

x(0.001) = 1.5 *10⁻⁴(-0.0753268)

x(0.001) = -1.129902...*10⁻⁵ m

x(0.001) = -1.13*10⁻⁵ m = -1.13*10⁻² mm
