Answer:

The vacuum tube was replaced with transistor.

Explanation:

The invention of semiconductor was very useful in making solid state transistor that allowed the production of small yet faster, cheaper, and more trusted and reliable computers.
These solid state transistor is so often used that, it nearly replaced all the use of transistor.
This replacement took place after the invention of semiconductor in the year around 1940.
Vacuum tubes also known as thermionic tubes are not used anymore in computers and electronics.

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will

VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

$v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}$

since $v_y = 0$ at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

$t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}$

If a person weighs 818 N on earth and 5320 N on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N

Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :

$W=mg$

g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{818\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}$

m = 83.46 kg

The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.

Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N

g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,

$g'=\dfrac{W'}{m}$

$g'=\dfrac{5320\ N}{83.46\ kg}$

$g'=63.74\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is $63.74\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is it important that home circuits are wired with parallel circuits?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Parallel circuits are used in homes because the loads can be operated independently of each other. That means that you can have an electrical item turned on and running without needing to have all of the other loads on and running as well.

What happens to the water particles in a wave?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer: waves transport energy, not water. As a wave crest passes, the water particles move in circular paths. The movement of the floating inner tube is simulacra to the movement of the water particles. Water particles rise as a wave crest approaches.
