Viktor [21]3 years ago

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm</u>

A seagull flying horizontally at 8.00m/s carries a clam with a mass of 300g in its beak. Calculate the total mechanical energy o
Stells [14]

Answer:

9.6J+88.2J=97.8J

Explanation:

Here the velocity of the seagull is given,mass is given and its height.

We have to find its mechanical energy my friend.

Mechanical energy=kinetic energy + potential energy.

First we will find kinetic energy.

For calculating kinetic energy we need mass and velocity,which are given here.

So, Ek=

1 \div 2mv {?}^{2}

So by substituting the values we get 9.6J.

Now we find the potential energy which is mgh.

By substituting the values we get 88.2J.

Then we add both of those and get 97.8J

I hope this satisfies you and make sure you contact me if it doesn't

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun
nalin [4]

Answer:

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Source Frequency fs=600Hz

Length r=1.0m

RPM=100 rpm

The speed of the generator is calculated as:

v_{s}=rw\\v_{s}=r(2\pi f)

Substitute the given values

v_{s}=(1.0m)2\pi (\frac{100}{60}rev/s )\\v_{s}=10.47m/s

For approaching generator the frequency is calculated as:

f_{+}=\frac{f_{s}}{1-\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{+}=\frac{600Hz}{1-\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{+}=620Hz

On the other hand,for the receding generator,Doppler's effect is expressed as:

 f_{-}=\frac{f_{s}}{1+\frac{v_{s}}{v} }\\f_{-}=\frac{600Hz}{1+\frac{10.47m/s}{343m/s} } \\f_{-}=580Hz

Therefore the the highest frequency is 620Hz and lowest frequency is 580Hz

Se coloca una piedra de 600 g en una Honda de 50 cm y se la hace girar a una velocidad de 4 m/s. Dibuja la fuerza que ejerce la
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Fc = 19.2 N

Explanation:

In this case, the force of the Honda over the rock, is a centripetal force. Then, you have:

F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}

m: mass of the rock = 600g = 0.6 kg

v: tangential velocity of the Honda = 4m/s

r: radius of the Honda = 50cm = 0.5m

You replace the values of m, r and v in the equation for Fc:

F_c=(0.6kg)\frac{(4m/s)^2}{0.5m}\\\\F_c=19.2N

hence, the force has a magnitude of 19.2 N

If the rock would have more mass the centripetal force would be higher
