Answer:
Because their properties like conductivity, electronic configuration and ionization lies in between the metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
There are a total of six elements that fall in the category of semiconductors.
Namely these are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.
These elements look like metals i.e. are lustrous but do not conduct electricity so well like a metal does.
Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form mono-atomic anions.
Hi there!
For this part, we can disregard the horizontal velocity because horizontal and vertical motion are INDEPENDENT.
We can used the simplified equation to solve for time:
Where:
h = height
g = acceleration due to gravity (assume g = 10 m/s²)
Plug in given values:
t ≈3.162 sec
Explanation: It is because when a car is moving both the car and the driver is in inertia of motion. When a car is involved in collision it comes to a sudden stop and the car comes into inertia of rest whereas the person still in inertia of motion moves forward and might result in major injuries. But this can be prevented by wearing a seatbelt
Hope it helps :)
