A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following  formula.

GPE=mgh

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass m=0.005 \,kg, and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of h=555 \, ft, thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in  order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}

That give u s

h = 169.2 \, m

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

GPE=mgh

And we get

GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J

\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Who invented the transistor
erma4kov [3.2K]

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

Some of the earliest work on semiconductor amplifiers emerged from Eastern Europe. In 1922-23 Russian engineer Oleg Losev of the Nizhegorod Radio Laboratory, Leningrad, found that a special mode of operation in a point-contact zincite (ZnO) crystal diode supported signal amplification up to 5 MHz. Although Losev experimented with the material in radio circuits for years, he died in the 1942 Siege of Leningrad and was unable to advocate for his place in history. His work is largely unknown.

Austro-Hungarian physicist, Julius E. Lilienfeld, moved to the US and in 1926 filed a patent for a “Method and Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents” in which he described a three-electrode amplifying device using copper-sulfide semiconductor material. Lilienfeld is credited with inventing the electrolytic capacitor but there is no evidence that he built a working amplifier. His patent, however, had sufficient resemblance to the later field effect transistor to deny future patent applications for that structure.

<span>German scientists also contributed to this early research. While working at Cambridge University, England in 1934, German electrical engineer and inventor Oskar Heil filed a patent on controlling current flow in a semiconductor via capacitive coupling at an electrode – essentially a field-effect transistor. And in 1938, Robert Pohl and Rudolf Hilsch experimented on potassium-bromide crystals with three electrodes at Gottingen University. They reported amplification of low-frequency (about 1 Hz) signals. None of this research led to any applications but Heil is remembered in audiophile circles today for his air motion transformer used in high fidelity speakers.</span>

As in the video, we apply a charge +Q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge –Q to t
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.
