What material is most commonly used to make a photovoltaic solar cell?

Physics
1 answer:
zaharov [31]3 years ago
3 0

Solar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon.

What affects the amount of potential energy stored in the magnetic field when a magnet is moved against a magnetic force?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Strength of magnet and distance from magnetic material

Explanation:

The potential energy of a magnet is determined by the strength of the magnet and the distance between a magnet and another magnet or a magnetic material. Magnetic materials are materials that would be attracted when brought close to a magnet, example of magnetic materials are most metals.

An owl weighing 40N is sitting in a tree waiting to dive down to catch a mouse. If the owl's potential energy is 800 J with resp
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<em>h = 20 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20

h = 20 m

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}

R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.
