The two main function of a transistor is to amplify or switch electronic signals. The switch is two options: on / off. The amplification function is a change in voltage.
<span>Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains electrolytes. Electrolytes are good conductors of electricity, and are naturally present in appropriate amounts in bodies of water. However, pure water (without electrolytes or metals) is not a conductor of electricity. </span>
-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.
-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.
-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.
