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 time taken by the stone ?
SSSSS [86.1K]

The time taken by the stone to hit the ground would be 5.12 seconds.

<h3>What are the three equations of motion?</h3>

There are three equations of motion given by  Newton

The first equation is given as follows

v = u + at

the second equation is given as follows

S = ut + 1/2×a×t²

the third equation is given as follows

v² - u² = 2×a×s

Keep in mind that these calculations only apply to uniform acceleration.

As given in the problem, a stone is dropped from the helicopter which is ascending at the speed of 19.6 m/s

height(S) = 156.8 meters

initial velocity(u) = -19.6 m/s

acceleration(a) = 9.81 m/s²

By using the second equation of motion given by newton

S = ut + 1/2at²

S = 156.8m ,u= -19.6 m/s , a= 9.81 m/s² and t =? seconds

156.8= -19.6t + 9.81t²

t = 5.12 seconds

Thus, the time taken by the stone to hit the ground would be 5.12 seconds.

Comic strip hero superman meets an asteroid in outer space and hurls it at 100m/s. he has a mass of "m". The astroid has a mass
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

As a system increases in volume, it absorbs 59.0 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working ag
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The initial volume of the system is 2.7 L

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is given by;

ΔU = Q - W

where;

Q is the heat absorb from the surrounding

W is the work done by the system

Given;

ΔU  = -107.6 J

Q = 59 J

W = ?

W = Q- ΔU

W = 59J - (-107.6)

W = 166.6 J

Work done is given by;

W = PΔV

W = P(V₂ - V₁)

101.325 Joules = 1 L.atm

166.6 Joules  = ?

= 1.644 L.atm

1.644 L.atm = 0.543 atm(57.7L - V₁)

57.7L - V₁ = (1.644 L.atm) / (0.543 atm)

57.7L - V₁ = 3.0 L

V₁ = 57.7L - 3.0 L

V₁ = 2.7 L

Therefore, the initial volume of the system is 2.7 L

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

101 meters

Explanation:

Distance traveled by the tourist:

d = 3.60 m/s × t

Distance traveled by the bear:

d + 39.3 m = 5.00 m/s × t

Substitute:

3.6 t + 39.3 = 5 t

39.3 = 1.4 t

t = 28.1

d = 101
