Answer:
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
Explanation:
Physics can be defined as the field or branch of science that typically deals with nature and properties of matter, motion and energy with respect to space, force and time.
In this scenario, a student is provided with a battery-powered toy car that the manufacturer claims will always operate at a constant speed. The student must design an experiment in order to test the validity of the claim.
Therefore, to test the validity of the claim, the student should use the following measuring tools;
a. Photogates placed at the beginning, end, and at various locations along the track that the car travels on. This device is typically used to measure time with respect to the rate of change of the interruption or block of an infra-red beam.
b. A meterstick to measure the distance of the track that the car travels on.
Hence, with these two devices the student can effectively measure or determine the validity of the claim.
Answer:
A and B are both requirements for a solar panel to generate usable current at home.
Explanation:
Solar panel operates through a group of cells, where each one of them captures/convert electrons making them move from one polarised region to another. The excited electrons can move from a region in excess of electrons (p region) to a region with a lack of electrons (n region).
This physical effect of electron moving from one side to another creates what we know as current flow.
This current flow from a solar panel does not vary with time in a determined frequency, so it's constant. This is the definition of a DC current. Since the household devices work with AC (variable sinusoidal current Alternate Current) a converter DC to AC is required.
Due to the fact that the solar panels only operate in the day when they recibe direct sunlight, there is the need to have batteries to store the energy for the night and the times where the sunlight is not enough to provide enough electron flow.
An object that travels around another object in space, is called a Satellite.
Answer: The standard constant value used for atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm (standard atmosphere) which equals 101325 pascals in SI units, and is equivalent to 29.9213 inches of mercury.
