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 9 newtwon charge is Felt on a (1x10^-4) C charge from another charge that is 3 meters away. What is the magnitude of that othe
Marina86 [1]

The magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C. The force on the charge is inverse of the distance.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The magnitude of that other charge is found as;

\rm F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\ \rm 9  = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 1\times 10^{-4}\times q_2}{(3)^2} \\\\ q_2=9\times 10^{-5} \ C

Hence, the magnitude of that other charge will be 9×10⁻⁵ C.

On a farm, you are pushing on a stubborn pig with a constant horizontal force with magnitude 30.0 n and direction 37.0° counterc
sashaice [31]

<span>Since the force is applied at an angle from the horizontal, we will use the horizontal component of this force in calculating for the displacements.
From derivation, the Fx is:</span>

Fx = F cos φ

Where:

Fx = is the horizontal component of the force

F = total force

φ = angle in radian = 37 * pi / 180 = 0.645 rad

Calculating: Fx = 30.0 N * cos(0.645)

Fx = 23.97 N = 24 N

Calculating for Work: W = Fx * d

A. W = 24 N * 15 m = 360 N

B. W = 24 N * 16 m = 384 N

C. W = 24 N * 12 m = 288 N

D. W = 24 N * 14 m = 336 N
