re, what must be their maximum dimensions (in terms of microns or µm)? (Note: Devices other than transistors are also on the chip, and there must be room for the interconnections among the circuit elements. Transistors smaller than 0.7 μm are now commonly and inexpensively fabricated.)

Answer:

1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following parameters from the question above;

Length = 3.67 cm, breadth = 2.93 cm, and the number of embedded transistors = 3.5 million.

Step one: find the area of the computer chip.

Therefore, Area = Length × breadth.

Area = 3.67 cm × 2.93 cm.

Area of the computer chip = 10.7531 cm^2. = 10.75 cm^2.

Step two: find the area of one transistor

The area of one transistor is; (area of the computer chip) ÷ (number of embedded transistors).

Hence;

The area of one transistor= 10.7531/4.4 × 10^6.

The area of one transistor= 2.44 × 10^-6 cm^2.

=> Note that We have our transistors as square, therefore;

The maximum dimension = √ (2.44 × 10^-6) cm^2.

The maximum dimension= 1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

Two positive charges of 20 micro coulomb and 100 micro coulomb and the distance between them is 150cm.What will be the electrica
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.8 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

Formula:

F = kqq'/r²........................ Equation 1

Where F = Force of repulsion, k = coulomb's constant, q = first positive charge, q' = second positive charge, r = distance between the charge.

Given: q = 20 μC = 20×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 100 μC = 100×10⁻⁶ C, r = 150 cm = 1.5 m.

Constant:  k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (20×10⁻⁶ )( 100×10⁻⁶)(9×10⁹)/1.5²

F = 1800×10⁻³/2.25

F = 1.8/2.25

F = 0.8 N

The orbiting of the moon around the Earth can be explained by
HACTEHA [7]
When talking about orbits, it would have to be a mixture of both A. and B. since Newton's first law, gravity plays a huge part in an orbit. However, the universal gravitation law also tells us the relationship between two massive objects in orbit. But to choose only one, it would have to be B. Newton's first law

What is the correct answer?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

B) x^2+6x+8

Explanation:

x-4 | x^3+2x^2-16x-32

    -  x^3-4x^2             <-- (x-4)(x^2)

_________________

              6x^2-16x-32

           -  6x^2-24x     <-- (x-4)(6x)

_________________

                          8x-32

                       -  8x-32 <- (x-4)(8)

___________________________

                                 0 | x^2+6x+8

This means the answer is B) x^2+6x+8
