What type of energy waves are used in Solar Cells, and what is it’s position on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Physics
1 answer:
Artyom0805 [142]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potentialenergy func
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A= 148.92  m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

m= 0.04 kg

Now force in the x-direction

Fx= - dU/dx

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dx= 12 x

When x=0.4 m

dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8

So we can say that

Fx= - 4.8 N

From Newtons law

F= m a

- 4.8 = 0.04 x a

a = -120 m/s²

Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²

In y -direction

F= - dU/dy

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²

When y = 0.56 m

dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56

dU/dy = - 3.52

So we can say that force in y -direction

F= 3.52 N

F= m a'

3.52 = 0.04 x a'

a'=88.2 m/s²

acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²

The resultant acceleration

A=\sqrt{a^2+a'^2}

A=\sqrt{120^2+88.2^2}

A= 148.92  m/s²

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.
Softa [21]
Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since velocity =  \frac{change in position}{time}, and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.

A small block of mass m1 = 0.4 kg is placed on a long slab of mass m2 = 2.8 kg. Initially, the slab is stationary and the block
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

v₁ = 0.375 m / s ,   x = 0.335 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.

We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.

initial moment. Right at the start of the movement

       p₀ = m v₀ + 0

final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium

      p_{f} = (m + M) v₁

how the forces are internal

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v₀ = (m + M) v₁

       v₁ = m /m+M    v₀

let's calculate

       v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8)  3

       v₁ = 0.375 m / s

 

Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force

Y axis

       N - W = 0

       N = W

       N = m g

where m is the mass of the block

the friction force has the formula

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ m g

We apply Newton's second law to slab    

X axis

       fr = M a

where M is the mass of the slab

       μ m g = M a

       a = μ g m / M

let's calculate

       a = 0.15  9.8  0.4 / 2.8

       a = 0.21 m / s²

With kinematics we can find the position

       v²= v₀²+2 a x

as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

       v² = 2 a x

       x = v2 / 2a

let's calculate

        x = 0.375²/2 0.21

        x = 0.335 m
