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?

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.

pashok25 [27]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the related concepts to string vibration. This concept shows the fundamental frequency of a string due to speed and length, that is,

f = \frac{v}{2L}

Where

v = Velocity

L = Length

Directly if the speed is maintained the frequency is inversely proportional to the Length:

f \propto \frac{1}{L}

Therefore the relationship between two frequencies can be described as

\frac{f_2}{f_1}=\frac{l_1}{l_2}

f_2 = \frac{l_1}{l_2}(f_1)

Our values are given as,

l_1 = 24"\\f_1 = 247Hz\\l_2 = 18"

Therefore the second frequency is

f_2 = \frac{l_1}{l_2}(f_1)\\f_2 = \frac{24}{18}(247)\\f_2 = 329.33Hz

The frequency allocation of 329Hz is note E.

How many (whole number of) 77 kg people
BabaBlast [244]
(1000kg)/(77kg) = 12.987013

The answer is 12 people. Because once you go to 13 people, the weight is 1001kg. Which is greater than the 1000kg limit.

A batter hits a pop fly straight up. (a) Is the acceleration of the ball on the way up different from its acceleration on the wa
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

a) No. If air resistance is ignored the acceleration of the ball is the same at each point on its flight.

(b). No. As long as the air resistance is negligible, the acceleration of the ball at the top of its flight different from its acceleration just before it lands.

Explanation:

This constant, similar acceleration is called the acceleration due to gravity and it is the acceleration of a body due to the influence of the pull of gravity alone.

Every object on the surface of the earth regardless of its mass is pulled towards the centre of the earth, especially when in flight. Whether flying upwards, or coming downwards, the pull of attraction towards the surface of the earth is the same!

Proposed Exercise - Mass Center of a Composite Body Determine the coordinates (x, y) of the center of mass of the body illustrat
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x = 3.76 cm

y = 3.76 cm

Explanation:

This composite shape can be modeled as a square (7.2 cm × 7.2 cm) minus a quarter circle in the lower left corner (3.6 cm radius) and a right triangle in the upper right corner (3.6 cm × 3.6 cm).

The centroid of a square (or any rectangle) is at x = b/2 and y = h/2.

The centroid of a quarter circle is at x = y = 4r/(3π).

The centroid of a right triangle is at x = b/3 and y = h/3.

Build a table listing each shape, the coordinates of its centroid (x and y), and its area (A).  Use negative areas for the shapes that are being subtracted.

Next, multiply each coordinate by the area (Ax and Ay), sum the results (∑Ax and ∑Ay), then divide by the total area (∑Ax / ∑A and ∑Ay / ∑A).  The result will be the x and y coordinates of the center of mass.
