An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

mirror is 10 m, and the wheel has 800 notches. If the wheel rotates at 9000 rev/s when the light from the source is extinguished, what is the experimental value for c (in m/s)?

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. What material is most likely used in solar panels, and w
klemol [59]

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.

density = mass/volume = 100kg/10ml = 10kg/ml

voluime = mass/density = 50g/2 g/ml = 25 ml

mass = density x volume = 2x55 = 110 kg

Which vector should be negative?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

 The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

  The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

  A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

  Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

  The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.
