<h2>MARK BRAINLIEST</h2>
For this assignment, you will develop several models that show how light waves and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. For each model, you will write a brief description of the interaction between the wave and the material. You will also compose two <u><em>typewritten</em></u> paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast light waves interacting with different materials. The second will explain why materials with certain properties are well suited for particular functions.
<h2><u>Background Information</u></h2>
A wave is any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. There are two different types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. A mechanical wave carries energy through matter. Energy is transferred through vibrating particles of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave can also carry energy through matter. However, unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not need particles of matter to carry energy. Examples of electromagnetic waves include microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and radiation from the Sun.
Answer:
A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it
Explanation:
The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.
Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.
In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.
The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.
The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)
Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.


Therefore,

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time


Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W
Answer:
The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.
Explanation:
A rock is dropped off a cliff.
It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².
Speed after 5 seconds = V
We know that acceleration = average speed/time
In our case,
g = ((0+V)/2)/5
9.8*5 = V/2
=> V = 2*9.8*5
V = 98 m/s
