Answer:

The silicon used to make monocrystalline solar cells has a high level of purity. ... Because of the way light interacts with a monocrystalline silicon layer, monocrystalline solar panels appear black in color.

Do energy drinks actually provide energy?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Most energy drinks contain large amounts of caffeine, which can provide a temporary energy boost. Some energy drinks contain sugar and other substances. The boost is short-lived, however, and may be accompanied by other problems.

Two kids are playing on a newly installed slide, which is 3 m long. John, whose mass is 30 kg, slides down into William (20 kg),

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$

$\Delta v =2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of John, $m_J=30\ kg$

mass of William, $m_W=30\ kg$

length of slide, $l=3\ m$

(A)

height between John and William, $h=1.8\ m$

Using the equation of motion:

$v_J^2=u_J^2+2 (g.sin\theta).l$

where:

v_J = final velocity of John at the end of the slide

u_J = initial velocity of John at the top of the slide = 0

Now putting respective :

$v_J^2=0^2+2\times (9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3})\times 3$

$v_J=5.94\ m.s^{-1}$

Now using the law of conservation of momentum at the bottom of the slide:

Sum of initial momentum of kids before & after collision must be equal.

$m_J.v_J+m_w.v_w=(m_J+m_w).v$

where: v = velocity with which they move together after collision

$30\times 5.94+0=(30+20)v$

$v=3.564\ m.s^{-1}$ is the velocity with which they leave the slide.

(B)

frictional force due to mud, $f=105\ N$

Now we find the force along the slide due to the body weight:

$F=m_J.g.sin\theta$

$F=30\times 9.8\times \frac{1.8}{3}$

$F=176.4\ N$

Hence the net force along the slide:

$F_R=71.4\ N$

Now the acceleration of John:

$a_j=\frac{F_R}{m_J}$

$a_j=\frac{71.4}{30}$

$a_j=2.38\ m.s^{-2}$

Now the new velocity:

$v_J_n^2=u_J^2+2.(a_j).l$

$v_J_n^2=0^2+2\times 2.38\times 3$

$v_J_n=3.78\ m.s^{-1}$

Hence the new velocity is slower by

$\Delta v =(v_J-v_J_n)$

$\Delta v =5.94-3.78= 2.16\ m.s^{-1}$

What is the theory of light?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

The people in a location in Florida mainly grow crops which need a lot of water. Which of these statements about the location be

Arisa [49]

The people of Florida are closest to the equator and also near 2 different bodies of water and have rivers running thru them as well salt water and fresh water. they need alot of freshwater due to monsoon seasons, hurricanes etc, its humid and hot there so naturally you need to water more often and frequently.
