Answer:

D) crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

A semiconductor is any crystalline solid material whose electrical conductivity is intermediary between that of insulators and conductors. That is, a semiconductor does not conduct like a conductor but does more than an insulator.

Based on this, a semiconductor is said to only conduct electricity under certain conditions as opposed to conductors that do so under any condition. Example of semiconductors are silicon, carbon, antimony, arsenic etc.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)

Assume that the Moon is in circular orbit around the Earth. The distance between the Moon and the Earth is approximately 3.56 ×
stira [4]

Answer:

Acceleration = 311.2 Km/hr²

Explanation:

Given: Radius of the Orbit  r= 3.56 × 10⁶ km

Period of the orbit = 28 days = 672 hrs

Sol: We have Fc = MV²/r

⇒M ac = MV²/r

⇒ac = V²/r

First we have to Speed V so for this we have to find the circumference ( distance covered by the moon in one orbit)

⇒ Circumference= 2 π r

= 2 × 3.13149 × 3.56 × 10⁶ km

= 22,368,139.69 Km

Now Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 22,368,139.69 Km / 672 hrs

Speed V = 33,285.92 Km/Hr

Now

ac = V²/r = (33,285.92 Km/hrs)² / 3.56 × 10⁶ km

ac = 311.2 Km/hr²

Which two formulas are used to calculate potential and kinetic energy?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

P.E = mgh

K.E = 1/2mv²

Explanation:

P.E = mgh

That is m= mass in kilograms, g=acceleration due to gravity and h= height in meters.

K.E = 1/2mv²

That is 1/2 of an object's mass multiplied by the velocity squared.

The force required to open air bags is dangerous for:
pentagon [3]

It is dangerous for children. Air bags are dangerous to children age 12 and under because the bag inflates at speeds up to 200 mph and that sudden blast of energy can severely injure or kill passengers who are too close to the air bag. If possible, children should ride in the center of back seat, properly restrained with a seat belt.
