Answer:

I = 4.189 mA    V = 0.338 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the following expression:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (1)

However, as the junction of the diode is illuminated, the above expression changes to:

I = Iopt + Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]   (2)

Now, as the shunt resistance becomes infinite while the current becomes zero, we can say that the leakage current is small, and so:

I ≅ Iopt

Therefore:

I ≅ I₀Aλq / hc  (3)

Where:

I₀A = Area of diode (radiation)

λ: wavelength

q: electron charge (1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C)

h: Planck constant (6.62x10⁻³⁴ m² kg/s)

c: speed of light (3x10⁸ m/s)

Replacing all these values, we can get the current:

I = (8x10⁻³) * (0.65x10⁻⁶) * (1.6x10⁻¹⁹) / (6.62x10⁻³⁴) * (3x10⁸)

I = 4.189x10⁻³ A or 4.189 mA

Now that we have the current, we just need to replace this value into the expression (2) and solve for the voltage:

I = Is[exp^(qV/kT) - 1]

k: boltzman constant (1.38x10⁻²³ J/K)

4.189x10⁻³ = 9x10⁻⁹ [exp(1.6x10⁻¹⁹ V / 1.38x10⁻²³ * 300) - 1]

4.189x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁹ = [exp(38.65V) - 1]

465,444.44 + 1  = exp(38.65V)

ln(465,445.44) = 38.65V

13.0508 = 38.65V

V = 0.338 V

A maintenance worker wants to torque an engine bolt to 65.0 N m. If the torque wrench is 35cm in length, what is force applied t
harina [27]

Answer:

Force = 186 N

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be easely calculated using the formula :

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Where \vec{r} is a vector that from the origin of the coordinate system to the point at which the force is applied (the position vector), \vec{F} is the applied force.

The easiest way of computing the force is by setting the origin of the coordinate system to the lowest point of the torque wrench.  By doing this we have that r (the magnitud of the position vector) is 35cm.

Before computing the force we need to set all our values to the international system of units (SI). The torque is already in SI. The one missing is the length of the torque wrench (it is in centimeters and we need it in meters). So :

35cm * \dfrac{1m}{100cm} = 0.35m

Now using the torque formula:

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

Where \theta is the smaller angle between the force and the position vector. Because the force is applied perpendiculary to the position vector  \theta = 90°, thus :

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

65 N m = (0.35m)Fsin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{1300} {7}N

so the force is approximately 186 N.

A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 50.0 m away. The bullet hits the target 2.90 cm below the aim point. . . Whats the bul
Marina CMI [18]
The problem ask to calculate the bullet's flight time and the bullet's speed as it left the barrel. So base on the problem, the answer would be that the flight time is 0.076 seconds and the speed of the bullet is 657.9 m/s. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications.

Answer ?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

2.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2

We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t

where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.

In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1

a = 2.75 m/s^2
