Answer:

Solar cell generates DC

Windmill generates AC

Explanation:

Solar cell generates DC from the panel, to use this DC for electricity it has to be passed to an inverter which convert DC to AC.

Windmill generates AC from the wind blades. This type of energy can be used directly with household appliances using AC, or passed to a rectifier to convert it to DC.

How many degrees equal π in radians? How many revolutions (turns) equal π radians?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

It follows that the magnitude in radians of one complete revolution (360 degrees) is the length of the entire circumference divided by the radius, or 2πr / r, or 2π. Thus 2π radians is equal to 360 degrees, meaning that one radian is equal to 180/π ≈ 57.295779513082320876 degrees.

A tube of water is open on one end to the environment while the other end is closed. The height of the water relative to the bas

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1.06 atm

Explanation:

On the open end of the tube, the pressure will be the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the height of water

The pressure due to a height of water = ρgh

where ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the height of the water column

The height of water column on the open end = 100 cm = 1 m

pressure on this end = ρgh = 1000 x 9.81 x 1 = 9810 Pa

Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

The total pressure on the open end = 101325 Pa + 9810 Pa = 111135 Pa

The pressure due to the water column on the closed end = ρgh

The height of the water in the closed end = 40 cm = 0.4 m

The pressure due to this column of water = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.4 = 3924 Pa

The resultant pressure on the water on the top of the closed end of the tube = 111135 Pa - 3924 Pa = 107211 Pa

In atm unit, this pressure = 107211/101325 = 1.06 atm

The bonds of oxygen molecules are broken by sunlight. The minimum energy required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond is 495 kJ/mol.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The wavelength of sunlight that can cause this bond breakage is 242 nm

Explanation:

The minimum energy of the sunlight that'll break Oxygen-oxygen bond must match 495 KJ/mol

But 1 mole of any molecule contains 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Each molecule of Oxygen will require (495 × 10³)/(6.02 × 10²³) = 8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

E = hf

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = frequency of the sunlight

λ = wavelength of the sunlight

v = speed of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

E = hv/λ

λ = hv/E

h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸)/(8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = 2.42 × 10⁻⁷ m = 242 nm.

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$
