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

Read the passage about the pygmy shrew.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

<em>A very high metabolism and a very small size.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The pygmy shrew is a very small mammal, that forages day and night. The metabolism of the Pygmy shrew is so high that it must eat at least every 30 minutes or it might die. The best explanation for what happens to the food's mass and energy is that most of the food mass is rapidly used fro building up of the shrew due to its very high metabolism, and a bigger portion of the food is lost from the surface of the body of the shrew, due to its very small size. The combination of these two factors; a very high metabolism (rapidly uses up food material, and generates a large amount of heat in a very short time) and the very small size (makes heat loss due to surface area to volume ratio high) explains what happens to the food mass and energy.

Answer:

A. Sound comes from the ball every time it bounces.

B. The ball is warmer after it stops bouncing than it was before it

started bouncing

Explanation:

It is evidently shown that the ball shown energy transformation because it produces sound at each bounce and also becomes warmer after the bounce.

The law of conservation of energy suggests that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

  • a bouncing ball produces sound energy at each bounce. This is conversion of potential energy initially of the ball into kinetic energy of sound.
  • Also, the motion of the ball produces kinetic energy which causes the ball to warm up, this is thermal energy.
  • We see that a ball originally with potential energy has yielded the kinetic forms of energy which are sound and thermal energy.
