Answer:
Whenever you see the delta symbol infront of another, it always represents change. In other words:
Δu = u_f - u_i
- u_i means "initial velocity"
- u_f means "final velocity"
And in general, ΔX means Xfinal - Xinitial
Answer:
her acceleration is 1 m/sec
Explanation:
The following information is given in the question
The initial velocity is 5 m/s
After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s
We need to find the acceleration
As we know that
Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time
Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)
= 1 m/sec
Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec
The same would be considered
Answer:
a. 120 W
b. 28.8 N
Explanation:
To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.
a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.
b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?
(a)
He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward
Power = efficiency X metabolic power
= 0.25 X 480
= 120 W
(b)
power if force times the velocity
P = Fv
convert 15 km/h to m/s
v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s
F = P/v
= 120/4.166
= 28.8 N
definition of terms
power is the rate at which work is done
force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.
Answer:
c) True. If the coating cancels the light requested by the reflection, so there is more energy to enter the cell and therefore its efficiency increases
Explanation:
This exercise asks to analyze the effect of the antireflective coating on the efficiency of solar cells.
Let's start by expressing the expression for the interference of two light beams taken at when
* the phase change introduced when passing from air to 180º film
* the wavelength change by the refractive index of the film ln = lo / n
therefore the expression for destructive interference is
2 n t = m λ
where m is an integer
with these concepts we can analyze the different statements
a) False. Phase shift does not change the wavelength of light
b) False. The refractive index of the solar cell is not affected by the refractive index of the film since the two materials do not mix.
c) True. If the coating cancels the light requested by the reflection, so there is more energy to enter the cell and therefore its efficiency increases
d) false. In solar cells the incidence is almost normal, therefore the effect of refraction (separation of colors for different angles) is very small
