It is possible to convert radiant energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. Assuming equal efficiency of conversio

n, would infrared or ultraviolet radiation yield more electrical energy on a per-photon basis?
Physics

Finger [1]2 years ago

Answer:

Ultraviolet radiation would yield more electrical energy

Explanation:

The reason for the ultraviolet to generate more energy is that there would be getting more electrons per unit of time the photovoltaic cell, due to the higher frequency of the ultraviolet in comparison with the infrared radiation.

The infrared spectrum goes from 300 GHz (10^9 Hertz) to 400 THz or (10^12 Hertz).

The ultraviolet spectrum goes from 800 THz to 30.000 THz or (10^12 Hertz). This kind of radiation is responsible for skin burn from the sun and it´s the “ most usable” part from the sunlight in a photovoltaic cell.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg

A planet is discovered orbiting the star 51 Peg with a period of four days (0.01 years). 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Me
artcher [175]

Answer:

Less than Mercury's

Explanation:

According to third Kepler's law, the square of the planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the average orbital radius of the planet's orbit. The constant of proportionality depends only on the mass of the star, recall that 51 Peg has the same mass as the Sun. Since the orbital period of this planet is less than Mercury's, its average orbital radius is less than Mercury's.

a vector is 253 m long and points in a 55.8 degree direction, what’s the y and x- component of the vector?
BartSMP [9]

Well we know the hypotenuse of the triangle which is 253 m. And we know the angle of the triangle which is 55.8 degrees. So we want to find y. And to find y we use sin. And sin is a ratio, the ratio of the opposite leg, and hypotenuse. So sin(55.8) = y/253. Now we solve for y by multiplying both sides by 253. And finally we get 209.25 as the length of the y component.

How does 'g' vary from place to place?​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth's surface, from about 9.78 metres per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 metres per second per second at the poles.
