Selenium is most likely A SEMI CONDUCTOR. The correct option is A. Substances which are semi conductors are able to conduct electricity to a limited extent. Their conductivity ability can be improved by adding other types of element or material to them.

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s
liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Vertical motion of John : -

          Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

         Acceleration, a = g

         Displacement, s = h

    Substituting,

                  s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

                 t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

A 55.0-kg skydiver drew falls for a period of time before opening his parachute. what is his kinetic energy when he reaches a ve
Jlenok [28]
Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

Hope this helps

What is the electric potential, i.e. the voltage, 0.30 m from a point charge of 6.4 x 10-C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

V = 192 kV

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=6.4\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance, r = 0.3 m

We need to find the electric potential at a distance of 0.3 m from a point charge. The formula for electric potential is given by :

V=\dfrac{kq}{r}\\\\V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6.4\times 10^{-6}}{0.3}\\\\V=192000\ V\\\\V=192\ kV

So, the required electric potential is 192 kV.
