Answer:
a = 12 [m/s²]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
ΣF = m*a
where:
ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)
m = mass = 0.5 [kg]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left
2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a
6 = 0.5*a
a = 12 [m/s²]
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;
1. Extrinsic semiconductor.
2. Intrinsic semiconductor.
An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.
In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.
In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
Answer:
Explanation:
If the dragster attains the speed equal to that of the car which is moving with constant velocity of v₀ , before the two close in contact with each othe , there will not be collision .
So the dragster starting from rest , must attain the velocity v₀ in the maximum time given that is tmax .
v = u + a t
v₀ = 0 + a tmax
tmax = v₀ / a
The value of tmax is v₀ / a .
Answer:
