Answer:
The vacuum tube was replaced with transistor.
Explanation:
- The invention of semiconductor was very useful in making solid state transistor that allowed the production of small yet faster, cheaper, and more trusted and reliable computers.
- These solid state transistor is so often used that, it nearly replaced all the use of transistor.
- This replacement took place after the invention of semiconductor in the year around 1940.
- Vacuum tubes also known as thermionic tubes are not used anymore in computers and electronics.
Explanation:
From the experiment:
Number of protons = 74
Number of neutrons = 110
Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.
For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.
The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten
Mass number = 74 + 110 = 184g/mol
He has a mass of 56 kg.
The equation given is PE = mgh.
PE = 4620 J
h = 8.4
g = 9.8
Therefore:
4620 = 82.32m
m = 4620/82.32
m = 56 (rounded to two significant digits)
J.J. Thompson is the scientist who recieved credit for discovering them.
