What is the difference between a solar cell and a solar panel

1 answer:

5 0

Solar cells and solar panels are both integral, and closely related, parts of a solar energy system. When reading about solar energy systems, it may seem as if these titles are almost interchangeable. Writers refer to them both when discussing energy production and output, and often do so without explanation of how these parts work. However, each plays a distinct role. Solar cells contain all the parts necessary to convert sunlight to electricity. Solar panels combine and direct all of that energy output.

What is the energy of a 4kg apple that is sitting on a 2 m high tree branch?

miv72 [106K]

78.4 joules is the energy of a 4 kg apple that is sitting on a 2 m high tree branch.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an apple falls to the ground from a tree, its positional energy (stored as potential gravitational energy) turns into kinetic energy, during a fall. Chemical potential energy is chemical energy because it is food and potential energy as it can still have ability to move. So, in the given case, kinetic energy is zero.

To find potential energy, the formula would be

$\text { potential energy }(P . E)=m \times g \times h$
