That depends on what you want to use them for.

As sources of light, they are somewhere around 15% - 20% efficient.

As heaters, they are somewhere around 80% - 85% efficient.

What type of energy waves are used in Solar Cells, and what is it’s position on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

Which phrase best describes wave motion
White raven [17]

Answer:

I would describe wave motion as “propagating oscillations” as a general phrase.

For something like water waves, I would say “water waves are oscillations of the surface of a body of water that propagate in a given direction.”

For electromagnetic waves I would say “An electromagnetic wave is an oscillating disturbance of the electric and magnetic fields that propagates through space.”

A car on a roller coaster starts at zero speed at an elevation above the ground of 26 m. It coasts down a slope, and then climbs
nirvana33 [79]

The speed of the car at the top of the hill is 14m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

given that

Initial velocity u of the car=0 m/s

The distance can be determined by finding out the difference between the elevation of the first slope and second slope.

elevation of the first slope=26 m

elevation of second slope=16m

distance s=26-16=10 m

acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 m/s2

speed of the car at the top of the hill can be determined by using the equation

v^2=u^2+2as\\v^2=0^2+2\times 9.8\times 10\\=196\\v=\sqrt{196} =14m/s

speed of the car at the top of the hill is 14m/s

A ball is tossed into the air from height of 8 feet with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second. find the time r(in seconds) i
-Dominant- [34]
For this case we have the following equation:
 -16t + 8t + 8 = 0
 The first thing we must do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 -16t ^ 2 + 8t + 8 = 0
 Solving the polynomial we have:
 t1 = -1/2
 t2 = 1
 We discard the negative root because we want to find the time.
 Answer:
 it takes for the object to reach the ground about:
 t = 1 second
