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 are the conditions required for a rigid body to be in translational equilibrium?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The condition for translation equilibrium is that is that the net force acting on the body must be zero.

The sum all the external forces acting on the body in horizontal as well as vertical direction must be zero.

∑Fₓ=0 and ∑Fy=0

now if the above two condition are satisfied the rigid body is said to be in translational equilibrium.

God bless... hope this help to clear your doubt.

a0.155 kg arrow is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s. what is its kinetic energy (ke) when it is 30.0 m above the groun

swat32

The kinetic energy (KE) of a 0.155 kg arrow that is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s, when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J

Assuming air friction is negligible,

a = - 9.8 m / s²

u = 31.4 m / s

s = 30 m

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 31.4² + ( 2 * - 9.8 * 30 )

v² = 985.96 - 588

v² = 397.96 m / s

KE = 1 / 2 m v²

KE = 1 / 2 * 0.155 * 397.96

KE = 0.0775 * 397.96

KE = 30.85 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy ( KE ) when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J

Two people with a combined mass of 127 kg hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Total load = 2999.126 kg

Explanation:

Let the spring constant of the shock absorber be k.

We know that the force applied on a spring is directly proportional to elongated length and the constant of proportionality is called spring constant.

Thus

Force, F = kx

where,

x = elongation = 9.1 cm 0.091 m

mass of the people, m = 127 kg

F = weight of the people = mg = 127 x 9.8 = 1244.6 N

substituting these values in the first equation,

1244.6 = k x 0.091

thus, k = 13,676.923 N/m

Now we know that the time period, T of an oscillating spring with a load of mass m is

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

$\frac{m}{k} = \frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2} }$

thus,

$m = k\frac{T^{2} }{4\pi ^{2}}$

T = 1.66s

substituting these values in the equation,

$m =13,676.923\frac{1.66^{2} }{4\pi ^{2} }$

m = 2999.126 kg

Given that the efficiency of heating your room is roughly 35%, what mass of natural gas is actually necessary to heat your room

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Mass of natural gas needed to heat the room is 350,000BTUs

Explanation:

The heating efficiency of a furnace is never 100% because not all energy is released and not all heat is available to heat the place. A lesser efficiency requires more consumption of fuel. Heating values are used for heating fuels in order to calculate the mass of fuel needed.

The heating value of natural gas is 1,000,000BTUs

Therefore the formular for calculating mass of natural gas needed= Heating value of natural gas×efficiency.

Mass=1,000,000×0.35

Mass=350,000BTUs
