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.

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h$

As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

jenny's model train is set up on a circular track. There are six telephone poles evenly spaced around the track. It takes the en

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

T = 60 s

Explanation:

There are 6 poles on the track which are equally spaced

so the angular separation between the poles is given as

$\theta = \frac{2\pi}{6}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$

so the angular speed of the train is given as

$\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$

$\omega = \frac{\pi}{30} rad/s$

now we have time period of the train given as

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{\pi}{30}}$

$T = 60 s$

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².
