Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. What material is most likely used in solar panels, and w

hy?
A nonmetal is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it.
A metalloid is used because it is a good conductor but can become less conductive when more light shines on it.

Answer:

A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it

Explanation:

The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.

Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.

In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.

The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.

An object is moving north with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates 5m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final velocity of the
olga2289 [7]

Use the kinematic equation: Vf=Vi+at

Then plug;

Vi=14 m/s

a=5 m/s²

t=20 s. Therefore;

Vf=14+(5*20)

Vf=114 m/s.

Note: I'm not sure what do you mean by "weight 0.05 kg/L". I assume it means the mass per unit of length, so it should be "0.05 kg/m".

Solution:
The fundamental frequency in a standing wave is given by
f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }
where L is the length of the string, T the tension and m its mass. If  we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we find
f= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 24 m} \sqrt{ \frac{240 N}{0.05 kg/m} }=1.44 Hz

The wavelength of the standing wave is instead twice the length of the string:
\lambda=2 L= 2 \cdot 24 m=48 m

So the speed of the wave is
v=\lambda f = (48 m)(1.44 Hz)=69.1 m/s

And the time the pulse takes to reach the shop is the distance covered divided by the speed:
t= \frac{L}{v}= \frac{24 m}{69.1 m/s}=0.35 s

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K  

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area A=7.70m^2

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant \sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

P=\sigma AT^4

3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4

T^4=87.0381\times 10^8

T=305K

So temperature will be 305 K
