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 ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

h = 20 m

Explanation:

given.

height, h = 10 m

Potential energy at 10 m = 50 J

Kinetic energy at 10 m = 50 J

maximum height the ball will reach, H = ?

Total energy of the system

T E = 50 J + 50 J

T E = 100 J

now,

A h = 10 m

P E = m g h

50 = m g x 10

mg = 5 ..............(1)

at the top most Point the only Potential energy will be acting on the body.

now, TE = Potential energy

100 = m g h

5 h = 100

h = 20 m

hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is equal to 20 m.

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed

yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity $V$ will be expressed by the following equation:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$d$ is the ant's total displacement

$t$ is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Please help me

Grace [21]

Answer:

a. 60 N*s

b. 60 (kg*m)/s

c. 3 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 20 kg

v_i = 0 m/s

t = 10 s

F = 6 N

a) Impulse:

I = F*t

I = 6 N*10 s

I = 60 N*s

b) Momentum:

p = v*m

F = m(a)

a = F/m

a = 6 N/20 kg

a = 0.3m/s^2

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s

p = 3 m/s*20 kg

p = 60 (kg*m)/s

c. Final velocity

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s
