Answer:

The Anti Reflective Coating on a solar cells helps to increase the amount of light absorbed into the cell. This anti reflective coating is very much needed as the reflection of a bare silicon solar cells is over 30%. For the thin AR Coating, silicon nitride or titanium oxide is used.

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.

Mama L [17]

Answer: $f_{r}$ = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

$W_{x}$ = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

$W_{y}$ = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

$f_{r}$ = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS$

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

$2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}$

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - $f_{r}$ = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - $f_{r}$ = 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 17.9633 - 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 16.49N

Light is an oscillating magnetic field alone. an oscillating electric field alone. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate p

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.

Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.

The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

How loudness of a sound wave depends on the intensity of the sound wave?

Anestetic [448]

Loudness of a sound wave is directly proportional to the intensity of the sound wave. In other words, when one increases, other also increases and vice-versa

Hope this helps!
