Explanation:

  • Silicon is an essential component of modern electronics because it is an element with very special properties. Namely, silicon in the pure form is a semiconductor, which means it possess properties of both a metal (which conducts electricity) and an insulator (which blocks electricity).

Explanation:

Silicon is used for electronic devices because it is an element with very special properties. One of it's most important properties is that it is a semiconductor. This means that it conducts electricity under some conditions and acts as an insulator under others. ... Silicon is also an abundant element on Earth

Answer:

1. The sound waves are longitudinal because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

2. A pulse or a wave is introduced into a slinky when a person holds the first coil and gives it a back-and-forth motion. This creates a disturbance within the medium; this disturbance subsequently travels from coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves.

An example of a high explosive is what?
nordsb [41]
The answer is Dynamite.
Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. Chemical explosives are of two types; detonating, or high explosives and deflagrating, or low, explosives. Detonating explosives, such as TNT and dynamite, are characterized by extremely rapid decomposition and development of high pressure, whereas deflagrating explosives, such as black and smokeless powders, involve merely fast burning and produce relatively low pressures.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 16.0 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39.0 m in front of you. your reaction
choli [55]
The breaking distance consists of two parts. The first part is the first 0.5 seconds were no breaking occurs. Given values: t time, v₀ initial velocity:
x₁ = v₀*t
The second part occurs after t = 0,5s with the given acceleration: a = - 12 m/s²
were the final velocity is zero, v = 0 and the initial velocity v₀= 16m/s:
v = a*t + v₀ = 0 => v₀ = -a*t => t = v₀/-a

x₂ = 0.5*a*t² = 0.5*v°²/a

The total breaking distance is the sum of the two parts:
x = x₁ + x₂ = v₀* t + 0.5 * v₀² / a = 16 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 16² / 12 = 8 + 10,7 = 18,7

You can use this result to calculate the remaining distance. You can use the last equation to calculate the maximum speed you could have to avoid a collision.
Use x = 39m and solve for v₀.

4. Think back to Coulomb's Law. Two coins with identical charges are placed on a lab table 1.35 m apart.
FinnZ [79.3K]
A) To calculate the charge of each coin, we must apply the expression of the Coulomb's Law:
 
 F=K(q1xq2)/r²
 
 F: The magnitud of the force between the charges. (F=2.0 N).
 K: Constant of proporcionality of the Coulomb's Law (K=9x10^9 Nxm²/C²).
 q1 and q2: Electrical charges.
 r: The distance between the charges (r=1.35 m).
 
 We have the values of F, K and r, so we can calculate q1xq2, because both<span> coins have  identical charges:
</span> 
 q1xq2=(r²xF)/K
 q1xq2=(1.35 m)²(2.0 N)/9x10^9 Nxm²/C²
 q1xq2=3x10^-10 C
 q1=q2=(<span>3x10^-10 C)/2
 
 </span>Then, the charge of each coin, is:
<span> 
 q1=1.5x</span><span>10^-10 C 
 
 </span>q2=1.5x10^-10 C

B) <span>Would the force be classified as a force of attraction or repulsion?
</span> 
 It is a force of repulsion, because both coins have identical charges and both are postive. In others words, when two bodies have identical charges (positive charges or negative charges), the force is of repulsion.
