Solar energy is a form of renewable energy that is harnessed using the technology of the photovoltaic cells. These cells are composed of semiconductors. When the light from the sun hits the semiconductor, the energy from the light particles, or photons, cause the electrons in the semiconductor to be 'excited'. When the electron moves across the semiconductor platforms, the electron flows, thus creating electricity.
Therefore, as much as possible, you want to capture all of the sun's light. This can be achieved when the Sun is high up the sky. But if there is low sun angle, then the concentration of the sun's energy that strike the PV cells would be lesser.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, specifically the potential elastic energy against the kinetic energy of the body.
By definition this could be described as
Where
k = Spring constant
x = Displacement
m = mass
v = Velocity
This point is basically telling us that all the energy in charge of compressing the spring is transformed into the energy that allows the 'impulse' seen in terms of body speed.
If we rearrange the equation to find v we have
Our values are given as
Replacing at our equation we have then,
Therefore he speed of the car before impact, assuming no energy is lost in the collision with the wall is 2.37m/s
Answer:
0.5I0
Explanation:
Because once ligh passes though any polarizer 50% of it is gone. The second polarizer is also oriented in the same direction so it passes through with no effect.
Yes, in broader terms for people who actually study this, this is called biomechanics. Bio refers to the human body and it moving, while the physics part comes in when a ball is thrown for example and you want to know how far it is thrown.
