5 0

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

Finger [1]
Refractive index is the ration of sin i to sin r where i is the incident angle and r is the refraction angle. 
Therefore, refractive index = sin 79.5 / sin 39.6
                                           = 1.542
The refractive index may be given by the ratio of refractive index of medium 2 to refractive index of medium 1. 
Therefore, 1.542 = n/1.0003
                            n = 1.5425
                               ≈ 1.54
Medium 2 is sodium chloride, refractive index of 1.54

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

An elevator cable breaks when a 925-kg elevator is 28.5 m above the top of a huge spring Ak = 8.00 * 104 N????mB at the bottom o
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a) = 258352.5J

b) = 23.63 m/s

c) = 1.8m

Explanation:

Data;

Mass = 925kg

Distance (s) = 28.5m

Force constant (k) = 8.0*10⁴ N/m

g = 9.8 m/s²

a) = work = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 925 * 9.8 = 9065N

Work = F * s = 9065 * 28.5 = 258352.5J

b) acceleration (a) = (v² - u²) / 2s

a = v² / 2s

v² = a * 2s

v² = 9.8 * (2 * 28.5)

v² = 9.8 * 57

v² = 558.6

v = √(558.6)

V = 23.63 m/s

C). The work stops when the work done to raise the spring equals the work done to stop it by the spring

W = ½kx²

258352.5 = ½ * 8.0*10⁴ * x²

(2 * 258352.5) = 8.0*10⁴x²

516705 = 8.0*10⁴x²

X² = 516705 / 8.0*10⁴

X² = 6.46

X = √(6.46)

X = 2.54m

The compression was about 2.54m
