While teaching about transistors, Mr. Mendoza shows a video of a hand pump being used to draw water from a well. He points out h

ow the person primes the pump by pouring a small amount of water into it before the water would start to flow. No matter how much water is used to prime the pump, once started, the pump provides a steady flow of water while the handle is operated.
What is Mr. Mendoza using the hand pump to model?

A. its use as a switch to make a small signal into a large signal
B. its use as an amplifier to make a small signal into a large signal
C. its use as a switch to turn on a large current using a small current
D. its use as an amplifier to turn on a large current using a small current

Answer:

The answer is B,  Mr Mendoza is using the hand pump to model an amplifier to make a small signal into a large signal.

Explanation:

An amplifier basically is an electronic gadget used to cover lower signal or current  input into higher current, signal or output. In a situation where water is being pumped into a reservoir and the level of the reservoir is higher than that of the well, am amplifier can used used with the pump to increase the output current going into the pump thereby increase the speed and flow of water into the reservoir.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Transistors are small pieces of semiconductor electronic devices that are used basically for amplification and switching of signals.

They are used to amplify a small signal to a larger one.

They function as switches as they determine if current flows through the collector emitter path. When a voltage is applied to the base it allows currents to flow through to C-E path, but if no current is applied no current will flow .

In the illustration given in the question the pump provides a steady flow of water when a small quantity of water is fed into it. This can be compared to the use of transistors as an amplifier in converting small signals into large signals.

a crane does 9,500 J of work to lift a crate straight up using a force of 125 N. how high does the crane lift the crate?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<em>The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Work Done by a Force</u>

The work done by a force of magnitude F that displaces an object by a distance y is given by

W=F.y

We know a crane does a work of 9,500 Joule to lift a crate and is using a force of 125 Nw.

The above equation can be solved to know the value of y in terms of the work and the force:

\displaystyle y=\frac{W}{F}

Plugging in the given values

\displaystyle y=\frac{9,500}{125}

y=76\ m

The crane lifts the crate up to 76 m high

A ball rolls from x = - 5m to x = 0m in 1 second . What was its average velocity? (Units = m/s) Don't forget: velocities and dis
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

+ 5 m/s

Explanation:

change in displacement = ΔX=final position - initial position

                                            ΔX = 0-(-5) =0+5 =+ 5 m

average velocity =  ΔX/t

                             = +5/1

                             = + 5 m/s

positive sign shows that ball rolls towards right

What are some ways you can vary your tone of voice to help you communicate effectively with others? A. Speaking aggressively
Leno4ka [110]
The answer is D, talking more loudly or quietly.
<span>
An expressive voice can bring totally different meaning to what you are saying. If you speak in a monotone voice, you are implying that you do not care about what you are saying or what the other person is talking about. If you speak expressively with some parts quieter or louder to make a point, it lets the listener know that you care about what you are saying and you care about what they have to say too. You can also emphasize a point by speaking louder or indicate that something is not as important by speaking softer.</span>
