A photovoltaic cell produces electricity when the sun shines. What energy conversion is going here?

Physics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

light potential energy is converted into electrical potential energy.

Explanation:

A solar heat absorbs the light that creates pairs of electron - holes, these free charges when moving create a current, the light energy stored in the radiation is converted into electrical energy within the n-p junctions.

In summary, light potential energy is converted into electrical potential energy.

What is the period of a 3. 98 m long pendulum? What is the period of a 99. 4 cm long pendulum?.
madam [21]

A pendulum's time period is the amount of time it takes to complete one oscillation. The pendulum with a length of 3.98 m and a length of 99.4 cm will have a time period of 4 and 1.99 seconds, respectively.

<h3>What is the definition of a simple pendulum?</h3>

A simple pendulum is a device with a point mass hanging from fixed support and connected to a light inextensible thread.

The vertical line going through the fixed support represents the mean position of a basic pendulum.

h = vertical distance from the point of suspension

L = length of the simple pendulum

The time period of the simple penduum is given by

\rm T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

For l = 3.98 m

\rm T = 2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{3.98}{9.81} }

T = 4 second

For  l = 99.4 cm = 0.994 m

\rm T = 2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{0.994}{9.81} }

T = 1.99 second

The time period of the pendulum having 3.98 m and 99.4 cm in length will be 4  and 1.99 seconds respectively.

If an inelastic collision takes place, during the collision, what is conserved?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

An inelastic collision is a collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. While momentum of the system is conserved in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not.

Part A
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

A) U₀ = ϵ₀AV²/2d

B) U₁ = (ϵ₀AV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.

C) U₂ = (kϵ₀AV²)/2d

Explanation:

A) The energy stored in a capacitor is given by (1/2) (CV²)

Energy in the capacitor initially

U₀ = CV²/2

V = voltage across the plates of the capacitor

C = capacitance of the capacitor

But the capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometry of the capacitor is given by

C = ϵA/d

ϵ = Absolute permissivity of the dielectric material

ϵ = kϵ₀

where k = dielectric constant

ϵ₀ = permissivity of free space/air/vacuum

A = Cross sectional Area of the capacitor

d = separation between the capacitor

If air/vacuum/free space are the dielectric constants,

So, k = 1 and ϵ = ϵ₀

U₀ = CV²/2

Substituting for C

U₀ = ϵ₀AV²/2d

B) Now, for U₁, the new distance between plates, d₁ = 3d

U₁ = ϵ₀AV²/2d₁

U₁ = ϵ₀AV²/(2(3d))

U₁ = (ϵ₀AV²)/6d

This means that the new energy of the capacitor is (1/3) of the initial energy before the increased separation.

C) U₂ = CV²/2

Substituting for C

U₂ = ϵAV²/2d

The dielectric material has a dielectric constant of k

ϵ = kϵ₀

U₂ = (kϵ₀AV²)/2d

displacement vectors of 4 km south, 2 km north, 5 km south, and 5 km north combine to a total displacement of a. 16 km north b.
den301095 [7]
I think the answer is 2 km south. This is because when someone moves 4km south and moves 2km north, the final position 2km south. and if the person moves 5 km farther north,the position is now 3km north and if he moves 5km south, the final position is 2km south.
