Answer:

D. crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

Semiconductors are crystalline solids that has the ability to conduct electrical currents but on certain conditions e.g heat. The conduction of semiconductors is less than that of conductors (metals) but more than insulators (nonmetals), hence, they are said to be intermediates of conductors and insulators in terms of electrical conductivity.

Examples of semiconductors are silicon, boron, carbon, germanium, arsenic etc.

A sound wave (a periodic longitudinal wave) from a loudspeaker travels from air into water. The frequency of the wave does not c
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

When the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air v = 343 \frac{m}{s}

Speed of sound in fresh water v' = 1482 \frac{m}{s}

We know that when wave travel into one medium to another medium frequency doesn't change.

Velocity is given by,

  v = f \lambda

In above equation frequency is constant,

So when sound wave enters the water wavelength increase because speed sound is increase in water as compare to air.

Therefore, when the sound wave enters the water its wavelength increase.

Consider the f(x) = Acos(x) function shown in the figure in blue color. What is the value of amplitude A for this function?
Alex73 [517]

The amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit and the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

<h3>Amplitude of the red colored wave</h3>

From the graph, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit.

<h3>Amplitude of the blue colored wave</h3>

From the graph, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

Thus, the amplitude of the red colored wave is 1 unit and the amplitude of the red colored wave is 2.1 unit.

What technique is used by scientists to determine which of several explanations is the best explanation
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

Answer: <u>elastically</u> deformed or <u>non-permanently</u> deformed

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, there are two types of deformations:

-Plastic deformation (also called irreversible or permanent deformation), in which the material does not return to its original form after removing the applied force, therefore it is said that the material was permanently deformed.

This is because the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes while it is subjected to the applied forces.

-Elastic deformation (also called reversible or non-permanent deformation), in which the material returns to its original shape after removing the applied force that caused the deformation.

In this case t<u>he material also undergoes thermodynamic changes, but these are reversible, causing an increase in its internal energy by transforming it into elastic potential energy.</u>

<u />

Therefore, the situation described in the question is related to elastic deformation.
