Answer: diode

Explanation: A diode is an electronic device that has the ability to work in 1 direction of electric current.

At forward bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the source and negative terminal to the negative of the source) the diode allows current to flow thus acting as a close switch.

At reverse bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the source and the negative terminal of the diode to the positive terminal of the source) the diode stops question from flowing thus acting like an open circuit or an open switch

The spring of a spring balance is 6.0 in. long when there is no weight on the balance, and it is 8.4 in. long with 4.0 lb hung f
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

W = 55.12 J

Explanation:

Given,

Natural length = 6 in

Force = 4 lb,  stretched length = 8.4 in

We know,

F = k x

k is spring constant

4 = k (8.4-6)

k = 1.67 lb/in

Work done to stretch the spring to 10.1 in.

W =k\int_{6}^{10.1} x

W = \dfrac{k}{2}[x^2]_6^{10.1}

W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times (10.1^2-6.0^2)

W = 55.12 J

Work done in stretching spring from 6 in to 10.1 in is equal to 55.12 J.

Which of the following is an example of Newton's second law of motion?
laiz [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that ‘when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration’.

This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate—their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

r = 6.4 cm

Explanation:

F = GMm/r²

r = √(GMm/F)

r = √((6.674e-11)(6.2e5)(13e3)/130)

r = 0.06432... m

Those are some high density materials!
