Answer:

Solar energy - Chemical energy - Electrical energy

Explanation:

A photovoltaic is a device which operates with respect to its exposure to radiation or light. This property determines its applications in electronics.

The energy from sunlight is in the form of solar energy, which get absorbed by the photovoltaic cell. The cell transforms the solar energy and store it as chemical energy. This is now finally transformed majorly into electrical energy as the output energy from the cell. Some amount of heat energy is produced in the process.

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I

koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{2I}$

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{3I}$

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{4I}$

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of

Alex_Xolod [135]

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

$mg\ sin\ \theta = 120\times 10 \times sin\ 47^\circ{}=877.62 \ N$

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

$mg\ cos\ \theta = 120\times 10 \times cos\ 47^\circ{}=818.40 \ N$

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

$mg\ sin\ \theta= \mu(mg \ cos\ \theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ \theta\\\\\mu = tan\ 47^o\\\\\mu = 1.07$

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2
