Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

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.

what is the angular speed w of the system immediately after the collision in terms f the sstem parameters and I
denis23 [38]

Answer: hello some part of your question is missing attached below is the missing detail

answer :

<em>w</em>f = M( v cos∅ )D / I

Explanation:

The Angular speed <em>wf  </em>of the system after collision in terms of the system parameters  and I can be expressed as

considering angular momentum conservation

Li = Lf

M( v cos∅ ) D = ( ML^2 / 3  + mD^2 ) <em>w</em>f

where ;  ( ML^2 / 3  + mD^2 ) = I ( Inertia )

In terms of system parameters and I

<em>w</em>f = M( v cos∅ )D / I

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

15 points. give me the method.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

\boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }

Explanation:

if \:the \:  frequencies \: are \to \\   f_{1} =  640Hz  \\ and \\f_{2}   = 480Hz \:  \\ but \:  \boxed{v = f \gamma }:   f =  \frac{v}{ \gamma } \\ if \:  \gamma_{1}  -  \gamma _{2}  = 1 =  \gamma  \\ f_{1}  - f_{2}  = 640 - 480 = \boxed{ 160Hz} = f \\ v = f \gamma = 160 \times 1 =  \boxed{{160 \:  m(s)}^{ - 1} }
