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.

the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. After 11,460 year, how much of original carbon-14 remains?
Inessa [10]

Via the half-life equation:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.

Which represents the net force
ipn [44]

Answer:

The net force is 500N downwards

Explanation:

When Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.  

Fp = 5500N

Fg = 6000N

because the force of gravity is more than the force of the pull.

Fnet = Fg - Fp = 6000N - 5500N = 500N

And, the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the larger force.
