Answer:
Because their properties like conductivity, electronic configuration and ionization lies in between the metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
There are a total of six elements that fall in the category of semiconductors.
Namely these are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
These elements look like metals i.e. are lustrous but do not conduct electricity so well like a metal does.
Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form mono-atomic anions.
Answer:
g, downward
Explanation:
It is given that, a baseball is thrown straight upward. The force acting on the stone is force of gravity. It is moving under the action of gravity. We know that the force of gravity always acts in a downward direction.
At the highest point, the velocity of the stone will be equal to 0. It will move will constant acceleration equal to g and it always acts in downward direction.
Hence, the correct option is (e) "downward direction".
Answer:
V = I * R
R = 2 / 3.5 = .571 ohms maximum resistance of wire
R = ρ L / A where R is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A
A = ρ L / R minimum area of wire
ρ = 1 / μ = 1.67E-8 ohm-m resistivity inverse of conductivity
A = 1.67E-8 ohm-m * 225 m / .571 ohm = 6.68E-6 m^2
A = 6.68 mm^2 since 1 mm^2 = 10-6 m^2 or 1 mm = 10-3 m
A = Π r^2 = 6.68 mm^2
r = (6.68 / 3.14)^1/2 mm = 2.13 mm radius of wire
d = 2 * r = 4.26 mm
