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.

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds Which describes the acceleration?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

4 m/s in negative acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration = V- U/t

Where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity and t is the time given.

U = 65 m/s

V= 25 m/s

T= 10 seconds

Acceleration= (25m/s - 65m/s)÷10secs

= - 40/10

= -4m/s^2

Hence, it has a negative acceleration.

Force F = (-6.0 N)ihat + (2.0 N) jhatacts on a particle with position vector r =(4.0 m) ihat+ (4.0 m) jhat.
finlep [7]

Answer:

\tau=(-32k)\ N-m

\theta=116.55^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that.

Force acting on the particle, F=(-6i + 2.0j)\ N

Position of the particle, r=(4i+4j)\ m

To find,

(a) Torque on the particle about the origin.

(b) The angle between the directions of r and F

Solution,

(a) Torque acting on the particle is a scalar quantity. It is given by the cross product of force and position. It is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=(-6i + 2.0j)\times (4i+4j)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-32\end{pmatrix}

\tau=(-32k)\ N-m

So, the torque on the particle about the origin is (32 N-m).

(b) Magnitude of r, |r|=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}=5.65\ m

Magnitude of F, |F|=\sqrt{(-6)^2+2^2}=6.324\ m

Using dot product formula,

F{\circ}\ r=|F|.|r|\ cos\theta

cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\circ} r}{|F|.|r|}

cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+8}{6.324\times 5.65}

\theta=116.55^{\circ}

Therefore, this is the required solution.

A detailed explanation of static and dynamic friction . plsssss​
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Static friction is what keeps the box from moving without being pushed, and it must be overcome with a sufficient opposing force before the box will move. Kinetic friction (also referred to as dynamic friction) is the force that resists the relative movement of the surfaces once they're in motionExplanation:
