Electromagnetic waves are transverse because the particles that are moving are perpendicular to the wave motion while compressional (also known as longitudinal) wave particles move parallel to the wave motion

Photovoltaic solar cells are:
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

c) wafers of crystalline silicon treated with metals that absorb solar radiation and generate electricity

Explanation:

Photovoltaic solar cells are used in solar panels. Most of the photovoltaic cells are made from crystalline silicon.

It has a property using which it converts the light (solar radiation) falling on it to electrical energy. This process occurs due to the photovoltaic effect.

It is a way generating energy without consuming fossil fuels. Thus it reduces the carbon emission and thus plays a major role in environment protection.

A child wants to pump up a bicycle tire so that its pressure is 1.2 × 105 pa above that of atmospheric pressure. if the child us
WINSTONCH [101]
General expression is;
Pressure = Force/Area
In which,
Pressure = Required pressure + Atmospheric pressure = (1.2*10^5) + (101325) = 221325 Pa = 221325 N/m^2

Area = πD^2/4 = π*0.035^2/4 = 9.621*10^-4 m^2

Therefore,
Force, F = Pressure*Area = 221325*9.621*10^-4 = 212.94 N

When two objects interact, the change in momentum of the first object is ______ the change in momentum of the second object.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A. Equal to and Opposite

Explanation:

           when there is no External force acting on the system of bodies then Net momentum of the system is Conserved .

        Given that there are 2 bodies

         Let  P₁ as first object's momentum

                  P₂ as second object's momentum.

                  Total Momentum =P₁ + P₂

           As there is no external force acying on the system

                 Change in the Total momentum is zero

so,

                  0 = Δ P₁ + ΔP₂

                   ΔP₂ = -ΔP₁

                   negative sign indicates opposite direction.

                       Both are of equal magnitude.
