It is possible to convert radiant energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. Assuming equal efficiency of conversio
Finger [1]

Answer:

Ultraviolet radiation would yield more electrical energy

Explanation:

The reason for the ultraviolet to generate more energy is that there would be getting more electrons per unit of time the photovoltaic cell, due to the higher frequency of the ultraviolet in comparison with the infrared radiation.

The infrared spectrum goes from 300 GHz (10^9 Hertz) to 400 THz or (10^12 Hertz).

The ultraviolet spectrum goes from 800 THz to 30.000 THz or (10^12 Hertz). This kind of radiation is responsible for skin burn from the sun and it´s the “ most usable” part from the sunlight in a photovoltaic cell.

When a sound source is moving away from an observer, the observer will hear a lower pitch. This is due to
Art [367]

a decrease in the frequency of the sound wave.

Explanation:

When a sound source is moving away from an observer, the observer will hear a lower pitch due to a decrease in the frequency of the sound wave. This is known as the Doppler's effect.

  • As the sound source moves closer to the observer, they hear a higher pitch in the reverse process.
  • A sound wave transmits vibrational energy from the source to the hearer.
  • A  sound wave has frequency, amplitude, velocity and wavelength just like other wave types.
  • The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point at a time.
  • This is related to the the wavelength of a wave.
  • Waves of a high frequency are known to have short wavelengths and vice versa.
  • To hear a low pitch, the source moves away and the wavelength between successive crests and troughs on a wave increases considerably.

What will cause the volume of an ideal gas to triple in value?
trapecia [35]

Answer: The volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value

Explanation:

We can determine this from the gas laws. Using Boyle's law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

Mathematically, P ∝ (1/V)

Since P ∝ (1/V), we can then write that

P = k(1/V)

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume and k is the proportionality constant

PV = k

We can then write that

P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ...

Hence, P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 is the initial pressure of the gas

P2 is the final pressure of the gas

V1 is the initial volume of the gas

and V2 is the final volume of the gas

From the question, we want to determine what will make the new volume be thrice the initial volume.

Hence,

P1 = P

V1 = V

P2= ??

V2 = 3V

Therefore,

P × V = P2 × (3V)

P2 = PV/3V

P2 = P/3 = 1/3(P)

This means the volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value

Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall. Starting at city hall, he marches the parade 4 blocks ea
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The displacement is 6.71 [m} and the angle is 63.4° to the north of east

Explanation:

Using a sketch showing Dante's displacement, we can find each of the points Dante moves through. First, it moves 4 blocks east, the new coordinate (4.0), then moves 3 blocks south and we will get the new coordinate (4, -3). Then Dante moves 1 block west, thus the new point is (3, -3). And finally it moves 9 blocks north where the new coordinate in and gets -3 - (-9) = + 6.

The displacement can be found using the equation for the straight line.

d= \sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{0} )^{2} +(y_{1}-y_{0} )^{2} } \\d= \sqrt{(3-0 )^{2} +(6-0 )^{2} } \\\\d=6.71 [m]\\

We can realize that the triangle formed is a right triangle, therefore we can find the angle of the displacement.

tan(a)=\frac{6}{3} \\a=tan^-1(2)\\a=63.4[deg]
