The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.

Robert, a stuntman, projects himself from a height of 50.0 meters in a horizontal direction. He safely lands at a horizontal dis

Olin [163]

To get this we need to know how long he was traveling. To know that we need to solve for the time it took for him to hit the ground. This is given by the vertical height he started at and the equation of motion for falling objects. The position function is
Y= -(9.8/2)t^2 + 50 = 0
t=3.19s
That's how long he's in the air. When he hits the ground he stops moving forward so this is also the amount of time he was moving at 100m/s horizontally. Now use speed distance relationship
X=vt
And solve for v
100m/3.19s = 31.35m/s

lakkis [162]

Answer:

t = 3.414 s

s = 23.3 m

Explanation:

Let t be the total time of motion

Let s be the total distance of motion

s - s/2 = ½at² - ½a(t - 1²) = ½a(t² - (t - 1)²)

s/2 = ½a(t² - (t² - 2t + 1)) = ½a(t² - t² + 2t - 1)

s = a(2t - 1)

s = 4(2t - 1)

s = 8t - 4

8t - 4 = ½4t²

8t - 4 = 2t²

0 = 2t² - 8t + 4

0 = t² - 4t + 2

t = (4 ±√(4² - 4(1)(2))) / 2 = (4 ± √8)/2 = 2 ± √2

t = 3.414 s

t = 0.5857... s which we ignore because it does not have a full last second.

s = ½(4)3.414² = 23.3137... 23.3 m

The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C. If the current is supplied by

Artemon [7]

Answer:

E = 20.03 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C,

Voltage, V = 12 V

We need to find the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament during 2.00 s.

The energy delivered is given by :

$E=I^2Rt$ . ....(1)

As,

$I=\dfrac{q}{t}\\\\I=\dfrac{1.67}{2}\\\\I=0.835\ A$

As per Ohm's law, V = IR

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12}{0.835}\\\\R=14.37\ \Omega$

Using formula (1).

$E=0.835^2\times 14.37\times 2\\\\=20.03\ J$

So, the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament is 20.03 J.

If a wave traveling through air decreases its wavelength by half, describe what happens to the wave speed and frequency.

natka813 [3]

The frequency, the speed and the wavelength of a wave are related by the following equation:
$f= \frac{v}{\lambda}$ (1)
where
f is the frequency
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
v is the wave speed

The speed of the wave does depend only on the properties of the medium, so since the wave is still traveling in air, the medium has not changed and therefore the speed remains the same. We see instead from eq.(1) that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so if the wavelength is decreased by half, we see that the frequency will double.
