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

maxonik [38]

Answer:

0.124 m

Explanation:

the period of a simple pendulum with a small amplitude is given as

T = 2π [√(I/mgd)]

From the above stated formula,

I = moment of inertia

m = mass of the pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

d = distance from rotation axis due to center of gravity

Also, moment of Inertia, I = 2mr², if we substitute this in the above formula, we have

T = 2π [√(2mr²/mgd)]

If we assume that our r = d, then we have

T = 2π [√(2r/g)]

If we make r the subject of the formula in the above equation, we get

r = gT² / 8π²

r = (9.8 * 1²) / 8 * π²

r = 9.8 / 78.98

r = 0.124 m

Thus, the radius of the hoop is 0.124 m

A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field vanishes sudde
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Option B - The induced current flows counter-clockwise.

Explanation:

Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that whenever a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced and that if the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced which is the induced current. The magnitude of the EMF induced in the coil is therefore proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux throughout the coil.

Meanwhile, the direction of the induced current is given by Lenz's law which states that the direction of the induced current will oppose the change in electromagnetic force that produced that current.

Since the magnetic field points upwards, the induced current will move in a direction to the left which is counterclockwise

a man weighs 600 n while on the surface of earth. if he is transported to the planet mythos which has the same mass as earth but
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

24N

Explanation:

Calculation for what his weight would be

Let his WEIGHT on the surface of earth be 600 and Let the RADIUS be 25 which is (5^²) because we were told that the radius is FIVE TIMES larger than earths

Now let calculate his weight using this formula

Weight=Weight on Earth/Radius

Let plug in the formula

Weight=600N/5^²

Weight=600N/25

Weight=24N

Therefore his weight would be 24N

krok68 [10]

Answer:

r = 4.21 10⁷ m

Explanation:

Kepler's third law It is an application of Newton's second law where the forces of the gravitational force, obtaining

            T² = (\frac{4\pi }{G M_s} ) r³             (1)

           

in this case the period of the season is

            T₁ = 93 min (60 s / 1 min) = 5580 s

            r₁ = 410 + 6370 = 6780 km

            r₁ = 6.780 10⁶ m

for the satellite

           T₂ = 24 h (3600 s / 1h) = 86 400 s

if we substitute in equation 1

            T² = K r³

            K = T₁²/r₁³

            K = \frac{ 5580^2}{ (6.780 10^6)^2}

            K = 9.99 10⁻¹⁴ s² / m³

we can replace the satellite values

            r³ = T² / K

            r³ = 86400² / 9.99 10⁻¹⁴

            r = ∛(7.4724 10²²)

            r = 4.21 10⁷ m

this distance is from the center of the earth
