Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.
