djverab [1.8K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h2>option C </h2><h2>decreasing its thickness and increasing its temperature. </h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Resistance is directly proportional to length and temperature of the wire and inversely to area.</h2>

<h3>if you increase the temperature the resistance will increase.(resistance is directly proportional to temperature)</h3>

<h3>if you decrease its thickness (area) then the resistance will increase ( resistance is inversely proportional to area)</h3>

hope it helps:)

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

W = 0.842 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped

         W = K_f                (1)

now let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Highest point A

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lowest point B

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = K

to find the height let's use trigonometry

at point A

            cos 35 = x / L

            x = L cos 35

so at the height is

            h = L - L cos 35

            h = L (1-cos 35)

we substitute

           K = m g L (1 -cos 35)

we substitute in equation 1

           W = m g L (1 -cos 35)

let's calculate

           W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)

           W = 0.842 J

A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 2000.0 m with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. I
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2      no original vertical velocity

t = (2 * 2000 / 9.8)^1/2 = 20.2 s

Sx = 100 m/s * 20.2 s = 2020 m
