Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed squared)

Mass = 100 kg
Speed = 10 km/s = 10,000 m/s
Speed squared = 100,000,000 m²/s²

1/2 (M)(V²) = 1/2 (100) (100,000,000) = 5,000,000,000 joules  (5 x 10⁹ J)

That's  5 billion joules.

That's the amount of energy a 100-watt light bulb uses in  579 days.

KE=1/2 x mass x speed^2
Substitute:

KE=1/2 x 100 x 10000^2
5000000000J of KE
So either <u>5 gigajoules</u>
Or <u>5x10^9J</u>

The vacuum tube was replaced with what electrical component?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The vacuum tube was replaced with transistor.

Explanation:

  • The invention of semiconductor was very useful in making solid state transistor that allowed the production of small yet faster, cheaper, and more trusted and reliable computers.
  • These solid state transistor is so often used that, it nearly replaced all the use of transistor.
  • This replacement took place after the invention of semiconductor in the year around 1940.
  • Vacuum tubes also known as thermionic tubes are not used anymore in computers and electronics.
