Transistor circuits are sometimes referred to as switching circuits - Why is this?​

Physics
1 answer:
zlopas [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

One of the most common uses for transistors in an electronic circuit is as simple switches. In short, a transistor conducts current across the collector-emitter path only when a voltage is applied to the base. When no base voltage is present, the switch is off. When base voltage is present, the switch is on.

Is there a pattern to the volcano distribution around the plant?
alexira [117]
Hi there!

Typically volcanoes are found alongside tectonic plate boundaries and in that sense could be considered a pattern. One of the most famous is 'The Ring of Fire' which is a ring of volcanoes in the pacific ocean along the pacific plate boundary.

Explain the relationship between electrical charge and force.
Radda [10]
The relationship between electrical and charge force is that electrical force strengthens and increases the energy pulses and reflects off an object and makes the force about two times greater with charge.

A rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically with an upward acceleration of 10 m/s2. At an altitude of 0.50 km, the engine o
noname [10]

Answer:

The maximum altitude reached with respect to the ground = 0.5 + 0.510 = 1.01 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

When the rocket is fired from the ground,

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 10 m/s²

The engine cuts off at y = 0.5 km = 500 m

The velocity at that point = v

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0² + 2(10)(500) = 10000

v = 100 m/s

The velocity at this point is the initial velocity for the next phase of the motion

u = 100 m/s

v = final velocity = 0 m/s (at maximum height, velocity = 0)

y = vertical distance travelled after the engine shuts off beyond 0.5 km = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

v² = u² + 2gy

0 = 100² + 2(-9.8)(y)

- 19.6 y = - 10000

y = 510.2 m = 0.510 km

So, the maximum altitude reached with respect to the ground = 0.5 + 0.510 = 1.01 km

Hope this helps!!!

If a spring is stretched 4m from its starting length when 20n of force is applied, then how much work (in joules) is done by the
lys-0071 [83]

ANSWER:

250 J

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F = 20N is required to stretch the spring by 4 meters

We know that the force is equal to:

F=k\cdot x

We solve for k (spring constant):

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20}{4}=5\text{ N/m}

The work done in stretching the spring is given by the following equation (in this case the stretch is 10 meters:

\begin{gathered} W=\frac{1}{2}k\cdot x^2 \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ W=\frac{1}{2}\cdot5\cdot10^2 \\ W=250\text{ J} \end{gathered}

The work required is 250 joules.
