Answer:

A and B are both requirements for a solar panel to generate usable current at home.

Explanation:

Solar panel operates through a group of cells, where each one of them captures/convert electrons making them move from one polarised region to another. The excited electrons can move from a region in excess of electrons (p region) to a region with a lack of electrons (n region).  

This physical effect of electron moving from one side to another creates what we know as current flow.

This current flow from a solar panel does not vary with time in a determined frequency, so it's constant. This is the definition of a DC current. Since the household devices work with AC (variable sinusoidal current Alternate Current) a converter DC to AC is required.

Due to the fact that the solar panels only operate in the day when they recibe direct sunlight, there is the need to have batteries to store the energy for the night and the times where the sunlight is not enough to provide enough electron flow.

The electric potential in a region of uniform electric field is -1600 V at x = -1.30 m and + 2000 V at x =+ 1.80 m . What is Ex?
Inga [223]

Answer:

-1161.29 V/m

Explanation:

The x component of electric field will be given by

E_x= -\frac {\triangle V}{\triangle x}

Here \triangle V is the change in voltage while triangle x is the change in x

E_x= -\frac {+2000 V--1600V}{\triangle 1.8--1.3}=-\frac {3600}{3.1}=-1161.29 V/m

When not in a vacuum, what force causes objects in freefall to fall at different speeds??
Deffense [45]
Hi,

My best answer would be Gravity. Is it a multiple choice question? Or is it an essay question.

An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it (there is no normal force, "no surface"). F1 = 5 N, F2 = 8 N, and F3 = 5
DIA [1.3K]

The figure is missing: find it in attachment.

a) (3i - 5j) N

First of all, we have to write each force as a vector with a direction:

- Force F1 points downward, so along the negative y-direction, so we can write it as

F_1 = -5 j

- Force F2 points to the right, so along the positive x-direction, so we can write it as

F_2 = +8 i

- Force F3 points to the left, so along the negative x-direction, so we can write it as

F_3 = -5 i

Now we can write the net force, by adding the three vectors and separating the x-component from the y-component:

F=F_1+F_2+F_3 = -5j+8i-5i = (8-5)i+(-5)j=(3i-5j)N

b) 5.8 N

The magnitude of the net force can be calculated by applying Pythagorean's theorem on the components of the net force:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

where

F_x = 3 N is the x-component

F_y = -5 N is the y-component

Substituting into the equation,

F=\sqrt{(3)^2+(-5)^2}=5.8 N

c) -59.0^{\circ}

The angle of the net force, measured with respect to the positive x-axis (counterclockwise), can be calculated by using the formula

\theta=tan^{-1} (\frac{F_y}{F_x})

where

F_x = 3 N is the x-component

F_y = -5 N is the y-component

Substituting into the equation, we find

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{-5}{3})=-59.0^{\circ}

d) 0.84 m/s^2

The acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

For the object in the problem, we know

F = 5.8 N

m = 6.9 kg

Solving the equation for a, we find the magnitude of the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5.8}{6.9}=0.84 m/s^2

20g of ice at 0℃ is mixed with 20g of hot water at 60℃. Then amount of water in mixture in equilibrium
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

40g

Explanation:

At equilibrium, the ice will melt.  So the amount of water is simply the sum of the masses.

20g + 20g = 40g
