Describe how visible light is used with solar photovoltaic panels to produce electricity

Physics

padilas [110]2 years ago

Solar panels convert the sun's light into usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor material. When sunlight is absorbed by these materials, the solar energy knocks electrons loose from their atoms, allowing the electrons to flow through the material to produce electricity.

The vibrations of a string fixed at both ends are represented by y=16sin(πx/15 )cos(96πt). Where x and y are in cm and t in seco
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

y = 16 sinπx/15 cos(96πt)

When t = 0

y = 16 sinπx/15

here πx/15 is phase of the point at x

if x = 13

Phase = 13π/15

if x = 16

Phase = 16π/15

Phase difference

= 16π/15 - 13π/15

= 3π/15

= π/5 radian .

Marybeth and Grant are pushing on a wagon, both pushing in opposite directions. Marybeth is pushing to the left with a force of
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

14 N to the right

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the resultant of the forces acting on the wagon. In this case, we are considering two forces acting on the wagon:

- The force applied by Marybeth, to the left, of magnitude 34 N

- The force applied by Grant, to the right, of magnitude 48 N

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, in order to find the net force, we must choose a positive direction. Let's take "right" as positive direction, so the net force is:

F=+48 N-34 N=+14 N

And the positive sign means the net force is to the right. Due to this net force different from zero, the wagon will have an acceleration to the right, so if the wagon was at rest, it will start moving to the right.

The isotope 23893Np has a half-life of 2.0 days. If 4.00 grams are produced at noon on Monday, what will be the mass of neptuniu
viva [34]

Answer:

0.25 gram of neptunium is remaining

Explanation:

First we calculate the no. of half lives passed. For that we have formula:

n = t/T

where,

n = no. of half lives passed = ?

t = total time passed = 8 days (From Monday noon to Tuesday noon of following week)

T = Half Life Period = 2 days

Therefore,

n = 8 days/2 days

n = 4

Now, for the remaining mass of neptunium, we use the formula:

m = (mi)/(2)^n

where,

mi = initial mass of neptunium = 4.00 grams

m = remaining mass of neptunium = ?

Therefore,

m = 4 grams/2⁴

<u>m = 0.25 gram</u>

A sealed pressure cooker allows steam to escape only through an opening in the lid. a separate metal object, called a petcock, s
daser333 [38]

The mass of the petcock of the pressure cooker is  0.257 kg.

The total pressure inside the cooker is= atmospheric pressure+Gauge pressure

=100 kPa+101 kPa=201*10^3 Pa

The area of the petcock is= (π/4)d^2=0.785*0.004^2=12.56*10^(-6) m^2

Now the mass of the petcock is calculated as

P=(F/A)=(mg/A)

201*10^3=(m*9.81/(12.56*10^(-6)

m=0.257 kg

Therefore the mass of the petcock is 0.257 kg

Mention a few precautions to be taken at the time of spraying the pesticides
denpristay [2]
Pesticides are nothing but strong chemicals that kill the pests.

They are harmful for human also.

While spraying, the pesticide mixes with the air and enters the farmer’s body who is spraying.

Inside the body this chemical gets mixed with the blood and affects the immune system.

As a result the farmer falls ill.

So it is important that the person who is spraying pesticide mush cover his mouth and nose to protect himself from its harmful effect.
