What two vertical forces act on a falling leaf?(1 point)

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]1 year ago
5 0

Option C. Weight, Friction are the vertical forces that act on the leaf falling.

<h3>What are vertical forces?</h3>

These are forces that act in the vertical plane, which is perpendicular to the ground. There are at least two vertical forces acting. Gravitational force is provided by the earth and always acts downwards.

The weight, W (force) acting on the leaf is as a result of the product of the mass(m) of the leaf and the acceleration due to gravity (g).

Mathematically; W = mg

Friction in the form of air resistance also try to stop or reduce this acceleration due to gravity (g) on the falling leaf and it acts upwards.

In conclusion, Weight and Friction (air resistance) are the two vertical forces acting on a falling leaf.

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
