Answer:

The majority charge carriers carry most of the electric charge or electric current in the semiconductor. Hence, majority charge carriers are mainly responsible for electric current flow in the semiconductor. The charge carriers that are present in small quantity are called minority

Answer:

carriers and so are called majority carriers. A few thermally generated electrons will also exist in the p side; these are termed minority carriers. On the n side the electrons are the majority carriers, while the holes are the minority carriers. Near the junction is a region having no free-charge…

A student on an amusement park ride moves in circular path with a radius of 3.5 m once every 4.5 s. What is the tangential veloc

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

the radius of the circular path, r = 3.5 m

duration of the motion, t = 4.5 s

let the student's tangential velocity = v

The tangential velocity of the student is calculated as follows;

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t} \\\\v = \frac{2 \pi \times 3.5}{4.5} \\\\v = 4.89 \ m/s$

Therefore, the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.
