Explanation:
Solar cell (photovoltaic cell) converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor p-n junction. No heat involved. Battery converts chemical to electrical. Thermocouple heat to electrical. Solar energy is renewable.
Explanation:
In SHM, a = -ω²x, acceleration ∝ -displacement. Minus sign indicates direction towards mean position (restoring). Characteristic of SHM. Pendulum and spring-mass system exhibit SHM for small displacements.
Explanation:
Though the ship is made of iron, it is hollow inside and traps a large volume of air. This makes the overall or average density of the ship less than the density of water. According to the law of floatation, an object floats if its average density is less than that of the fluid. A solid iron needle has a higher density than water, so it sinks.
