Why is silicon needed in solar panels?

Physics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]3 years ago

Hi, silicon is essential in solar panels because, silicon is a semiconductor material (meaning a solid substance that has a conductivity of an insulator and is an essential component of most electric circuits ) now, when dipped with impurities such as gallium and arsenic it has the ability to capture the suns energy and convert to electricity. hope this is helpful if it is than put a thank you plz.

<span>Extremely powerful single waves have no effect on ships at sea since the depth of water allows the energy to be distributed over hundreds and thousands of feet. In deep water, the bigger the wave, the faster it moves and the slower the surface changes height. As the wave gets into shallow waters, it slows down and can start to pile up to large heights.</span>

Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 25 m/s and the other car at 35 m/s. At the m
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a. t_1=12.5\ s

b. a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2}  must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c. t_2=2.5714\ s is the time taken to stop after braking

Explanation:

Given:

  • speed of leading car, u_1=25\ m.s^{-1}
  • speed of lagging car, u_{2}=35\ m.s^{-1}
  • distance between the cars, \Delta s=45\ m
  • deceleration of the leading car after braking, a_1=-2\ m.s^{-2}

a.

Time taken by the car to stop:

v_1=u_1+a_1.t_1

where:

v_1=0 , final velocity after braking

t_1= time taken

0=25-2\times t_1

t_1=12.5\ s

b.

using the eq. of motion for the given condition:

v_2^2=u_2^2+2.a_2.\Delta s

where:

v_2= final velocity of the chasing car after braking = 0

a_2= acceleration of the chasing car after braking

0^2=35^2+2\times a_2\times 45

a_2=-13.61\ m.s^{-2} must be the minimum magnitude of deceleration to avoid hitting the leading car before stopping

c.

time taken by the chasing car to stop:

v_2=u_2+a_2.t_2

0=35-13.61\times t_2

t_2=2.5714\ s  is the time taken to stop after braking

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

W=K_f -K_i

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J
