How does solar energy produce electricity?

1 answer:

8 0

By the use of "Solar cells" or "Solar panel", we can trap solar energy in silicon/germanium rods, then we can convert in into electricity too.

Hope this helps!

Two wheel gears are connected by a chain. The larger gear has a radius of 8 centimeters and the smaller gear has a radius of 3 c

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds

so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as

$\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}$

$\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s$

Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as

$v = r \omega$

so we have

$v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)$

$v = 7.2 \pi cm/s$

$v = 432\pi cm/min$

Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

A puck of mass 0.5100.510kg is attached to the end of a cord 0.8270.827m long. The puck moves in a horizontal circle without fri

yanalaym [24]

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance b

yuradex [85]

When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>Newton's law of universal gravitation</h3>

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses in the universe is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the the square of the distance between them.

The mathematical interpretation of the above law is

F ∝Mm/r²

Removing the proportionality sign,

F = GMm/r².

Where:

F = Force of attraction
G = Gravitational constant
M = Bigger mass
m = Smaller mass
r = Distance between the masses.

From the above, When you attract every object in the universe with a force that is proportional to the mass of the objects and to the distance between them, we are obeying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9
