Gases, as opposed to solids and liquids, do not have definite volumes. If we decrease the volume of a gas in a closed container

the result is that we increase the gas pressure.
The best explanation for this is that decreasing the volume...

A) Increases the surface area of the container of the gas.
B) Increases the force of collisions between the gas particles.
C) Decreases the force of collisions between the gas particles.
D) Decreases the number of collisions between the gas particles.

Why do we use semiconductor instead of metal in thermopile?
serg [7]

Answer:

Metal or conductors , what they do is that they allow full flow of current that is conduction is due to free electrons only and there is literally no gap between valence and conduction band,so free electrons can easily jump into conduction band from valence band.

And now lets talk about insulators,what they do is that they don’t allow any current to flow i.e they act as strong dielectric,and gap between valence band and conduction band is so big that free electron can never come into conduction band from valence band ever if they try is for eternity…

But semiconductors can act both as an insulator as well as a conductor based on the voltage input. Hence, there is a possibility to control the current flow in semiconductors , so they don’t just relax and let the current pass by, they can control it, and that is why you can design logic circuits with it.

But as the temperature increases free electrons from valence band of insulators can jump to conduction band and can cause a little conductivity, and then the insulator will act as a semi-conductor.

Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea from a cliff 37.1 m high. At the level of the sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal dis
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

v_x = 4.87 m/s

Explanation:

Height of the cliff is given as

h = 37.1 m

now the time taken by the diver to hit the surface is given as

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

37.1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t = 2.75 s

Now in the same time it has to cover a distance of 13.39 m

so the speed in horizontal direction is given as

v_x = \frac{x}{t}

v_x = \frac{13.39}{2.75}

v_x = 4.87 m/s

During a summer with little rainfall, your house on a hill slope experiences an interval during which your well runs dry. You ha
irina1246 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

You don't have water because of two possible reasons:

  1. Because of the summer and the little rain, the underwater supply goes low.
  2. The slope in the hill you live makes the underground water goes down by the effect of gravity. Imagine the underground water like a small tank, when the water is reduced for any reason the bottom of the tank will have the remaining water, while the top part will be "empty".
