D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m
Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)
Frequency = rate of sploosh = 2 per second = 2 Hz.
Period = ( 1/frequency ) = 1/2 second
Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (0.15m) x ( 2/sec) = 0.075 m/s .
Thermal equilibrium is when a hot and cold object (could also be air) come in contact with each other and over time become the same temperature.
thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects are the same temperature.
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.
