Physics
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

The optimum wavelength = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886.3 nm

Explanation:

The light that will generate the photovoltaic energy of 1.4 eV will must have that amount of energy

Energy of light waves is given as

E = hf

h = Planck's constant = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴) J.s

f = Frequency of the light

The frequency is then further given as

f = (c/λ)

c = speed of light = (3.0 × 10⁸) m/s

λ = wavelength of the light = ?

E = (hc/λ)

λ = (hc/E)

Energy = E = 1.4 eV = 1.4 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ = (2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹) J

λ = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3.0 × 10⁸)/(2.2428 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = (8.863 × 10⁻⁷) m = 886 nm

Hope this Helps!!!

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1  : m1= 5kg

       50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

        F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

         F2 = 2*a  

(c) F1 =25 N

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1=  5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

<em>Look</em> <em>m1 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

<em>Look</em> <em>m2 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

<em>Look</em> <em>m3 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a     Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

<em>Look</em> <em>Free body diagram of the mass set</em>

∑Fx = m*a   m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

<em> (d) </em><em>What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?</em>

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N
