Answer:

Solar radiation may be converted directly into electricity by solar cells (photovoltaic cells). In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.

Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.<br><br> True<br> False

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

True. Diffusion and osmosis are forms of passive transport.

Explanation:

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached.

In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

Which of the following statements are true?

inessss [21]

Answer:

a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.

FALSE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity

b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant

c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.

d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant

e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.

FALSE

Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change
