According to given truth table, output is independent on value of $A$

$\therefore$ Output $Y=\overline{B}$

Air resistance resists the motion of an object. In this case, the net acceleration is lesser than 'g' and it shrinks as the speed increases. This makes the object to speed up more slowly. Ultimately, it reaches a constant terminal velocity which is lower for large-area ones and higher for heavy and streamlined ones.

Suppose the position-time graph is a straight line, in this case, the velocity is constant. This means that there is no acceleration.
If the graph is curved, velocity is changing, which means that there is acceleration. If the graph is concave, the slopes will get more positive with time. This means that there is positive acceleration. If the graph is cap-shaped, the slope will become more negative with time. This is known as negative acceleration.

To graph motion in a straight line, you need to visualise the relationship between different kinematic quantities like position, velocity and time. Suppose an object moves with a constant velocity, the position-time graph will be a straight line with constant slope. If the object accelerates, the slope of position-time graph will change with time and result in a curved line.

No. Since kinetic energy is a scalar quantity, it only depends on speed of the body and not the direction. So if the direction of the body is changed but the speed remains unchanged, there won't be any effect on the kinetic energy. However, if changing the direction also changes the speed of the body, then kinetic energy of the body will also change.

If you look closely at the formula of kinetic energy (1/2*m*v^2), the velocity is squared which automatically gives a positive integer. And mass of the body can never be a negative value, which leads to the result being a positive integer.

The 1/2 is a result of mathematical calculation, which occurs when we integrate? vdv in the formula of work done according to Newton's second law of motion. Without this, the final result will turn out to be twice of the actual value.

In solar cells, electron emission converts the light energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect. Solar cells work due to photoelectric effect, in which photons from sunlight strike solar cell surface. When a photon that has sufficient energy hits the surface, it transfers its energy to an electron in the material of solar cell surface. This causes the electron emission from its bound state. Solar cells can use photoelectric effect to generate electron-hole pairs that are separated and collected for producing electrical current. This provides a renewable source of power.

Electron emission is used for generating a beam of electrons in an electron microscope. An electron microscope requires a source of electrons for creating a beam of electrons. This source can be mostly a gun that uses electron emission for producing free electrons. Once the electrons are emitted, they are accelerated by anode and then, they are focused as a fine beam through a series of electromagnetic lenses. The beam is then directed onto the specimen that is being examined.

The work function in electron emission is the minimum amount of energy needed for removing an electron from the surface of a material. This function is denoted as? , and it is measured in electron volts. An electron requires at least the work function as energy to escape the surface of a solid material into the vacuum. This represents the difference between energy of an electron at rest in vacuum and fermi level of the material. Work function varies from material to material.
