A solar cell, 3.0 cm square, has an output of 350 mA at 0.80 V when exposed to full sunlight. A solar panel that delivers close

to 1.0 A of current at an emf of 120 V to an external load is needed. How many cells will you need to create the panel? How big a panel will you need, and how should you connect the cells to one another? How can you optimize the output of your solar panel?

Answer:

You will need 450 cells (3 cm each) to meet the voltage/current requirement.

The panel must be 3 cells in one side, by 150 cell in another side. 1350 cm^2 or 0.135 m^2. They must be connected 3 in row in parallel (to add current), then each of the former group must be connected in series to meet the voltage, so it would be 150 rows of connected in series.

The panel can be optimized using a voltage inverter, to convert current to voltage. In this way, less cells can be used achieving the same output specs.

Explanation:

To meet the voltage:

120 [v] required voltage

0.8 [v] voltage of each cell

\frac{120}{0.8} =150[v]\\

So we need 150 cells in series for the voltage.

To meet the current

1.0 [A]      Required current

350[mA]=0.35[A] cell current

1/0.35=3 cell So we need 3 cells in parallel to add the currents and meet the requirement.

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, does the number of waves passing by you increase, decrease, or stay the s
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

option(d)

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the property of the source of wave.

The velocity of all the electromagnetic waves is same as the speed of light. It only changes as the light passes through one medium to another.

The frequency is defined as the number of waves coming out from the source in 1 second.

As the frequency of wave increases, the number of wave coming per second increases.

So, the number of waves passing by increases but the speed remains same.

Explain how a refrigerator works to cool down warm objects that would otherwise be room temperature
expeople1 [14]

Answer: evaporation

Explanation:

Refrigerators work by causing the refrigerant circulating inside them to change from a liquid into a gas. This process, called evaporation, cools the surrounding area and produces the desired effect.

A projectile proton with a speed of 500 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then mo
makkiz [27]

Answer:

(a) The speed of the target proton after the collision is:V_{2f} =433(m/s), and (b) the speed of the projectile proton after the collision is: v_{1f}=250(m/s).

Explanation:

We need to apply at the system the conservation of the linear momentum on both directions x and y, and we get for the x axle:m_{1} v_{1i} =m_{1} v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1} +m_{2} v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2}, and y axle:0=m_{1} v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+m_{2} v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}. Now replacing the value given as: v_{1i}=500(m/s), \beta_{1}=+60^{o} for the projectile proton and according to the problem \beta_{1}and\beta_{2} are perpendicular so \beta_{2}=-30^{o}, and assuming that m_{1}=m_{2}, we get for x axle:500=v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1}+ v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2} and y axle: 0=v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}, then solving for v_{2f}, we get:v_{2f}=-v_{1f}\frac{Sin\beta_{1}}{Sin\beta_{2}}= \sqrt{3}v_{1f} and replacing at the first equation we get:500=\frac{1}{2} v_{1f} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} *\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}, now solving for v_{1f}, we can find the speed of the projectile proton after the collision as:v_{1f}=250(m/s) and v_{2f}=\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}=433(m/s), that is the speed of the target proton after the collision.

The answer I believe is c
Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.
