Answer: 16.5 m/s

Explanation:
By law of conservation of energy:

\frac{kx^2}{2} =  \frac{mv^2}{2} --- (1)

Since k = Spring Constant = 850 N/m
x = 0.40 m
m = 500g = 0.5kg
v=?

Plug in the values in (1):

\frac{(850)(0.40^2)}{2} =  \frac{0.5v^2}{2}  \\ v =  \sqrt{272} \\ v = 16.49 m/s\\  v = 16.5 m/s(approx)

What is an ideal diode? a. The ideal diode acts as an open circuit for forward currents and as a short circuit with reverse volt
Serhud [2]

Answer:

d.  The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with reverse voltage applied.

Explanation:

Ideal diode acts like an ideal conductor. In case of forward voltage it acts like an ideal conductor. However when it is reverse biased then it behaves like an ideal insulator. You can understand it bu considering a switch. When the voltage is forward then ideal diode acts like a closed switch. When the voltage is reverse biased then ideal diode behaves like an open switch.

        That is why we can say that the ideal diode acts as a short circuit (higher conduction) for forward currents and as an open circuit ( zero conduction) with reverse voltage applied.

A complete circuit is often referred to as a(n) _______ circuit
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Complete Circuit

Explanation:

A circuit is defined as a completed path for voltage to flow from a source of voltage through a load and back to the source. A complete circuit or path is often referred to as a(n) ? circuit. Before current can flow in a circuit, the circuit must be closed. 100% right

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic
Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.
