Explanation:

a. The output of an ideal full wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero volts.

True

The output of an ideal full wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero since 1st diode is forward biased during one half cycle of the input and 2nd diode is forward biased during the other half cycle of the input therefore, it fully utilizes both the input cycles so the output voltage is only zero when the input is zero.

b. Half-wave rectifier circuits need a minimum of 4 diodes to operate.

False

A Half-wave rectifier circuits need a minimum of 1 diode to operate, whereas a full-wave bridge rectifier need minimum of 4 diodes to operate.

c. In an ideal full wave bridge rectifier, half of the diodes are in the ON state and half of the diodes are in the OFF state at any given time the input voltage is not zero.

True

A full-wave bridge rectifier consists of 4 diodes, where 2 diodes are functional in half of the cycle(so the other 2 are off) and other 2 diodes are functional in the other half cycle( so the other 2 are off).

d. The output of an ideal half wave rectifier is zero volts only when the input is zero volts.

False

The output of an ideal half wave rectifier is zero during half of the cycle when the diode is reversed biased and doesn't conduct even though input voltage is not zero volts at this point.

e. A turn-on voltage of a diode (y,) greater than zero can cause the output of a full wave rectifier to be zero volts even when the input is not zero volts.

False

A turn-on voltage of a diode (y,) greater than zero cannot cause the output of a full wave rectifier to be zero rather there will be a little voltage drop across the output of full wave rectifier due to this turn-on voltage of diode which is usually 0.7 volts for silicon based diodes.

f. An advantage of the half wave rectifier is that is can use a smoothing capacitor, while a full wave rectifier cannot.

False

Smoothing capacitor can be used in both half wave rectifier as well as full wave rectifier.

Go online and search for information about companies that have been harmed or bankrupted by a disaster. Choose one such company

tester [92]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

In recent times and in the past, so many companies have been dealt with or bankrupted by disaster.

This disasters are in the form of floods, earthquake and tsunami. This has led to many companies across world to have faced problem. As Japan is particularly vulnerable to natural disaster because of its climate and topography let me take example of japan .The tsunami that struck Japan in March this year which has lead to a debt of worth nearly $8 billion due to failed businesses. A total of 341 firms in japan with a combined 6,376 employees has got affected by this disaster.

One of company that hit hard by these disaster is Toyota. Toyota is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. Actually due to flood in thailand toyota has faced a big loss. As flood hit thailand the parts of vehicle which is produced in thailand has stopped . It leads to interruption in the supply chain of some Thailand made components.

This lead to suspension of production as thai made component was unavailable.It has been reported until the situation of thailand will be good toyota plants in Indiana, Kentucky and Ontario, Canada, will be shut down . And production rate at plant in North America will get slow down .This flood leads to a loss of 37500 vehicles .Due to this reason toyota was forced to open its plants in Southeast asian country just to enhance the production rate.Sales of vehicle has also got reduced in thailand . Hence toyota faced a total loss of 1.6 billion dollar.

In Nigeria, due to the insurgency of the Boko Haram, many companies have entirely stopped operations in some regions, this harsh realities leads to massive loss of revenue for such companies.

A closed, rigid tank is filled with a gas modeled as an ideal gas, initially at 27°C and a gage pressure of 300 kPa. If the gas

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

gauge pressure is 133 kPa

Explanation:

given data

initial temperature T1 = 27°C = 300 K

gauge pressure = 300 kPa = 300 × 10³ Pa

atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

final temperature T2 = 77°C = 350 K

to find out

final pressure

solution

we know that gauge pressure is = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure so

P (gauge ) = 300 × 10³ Pa - 1 × $10^{5}$ Pa

P (gauge ) = 2 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so from idea gas equation

$\frac{P1*V1}{T1} = \frac{P2*V2}{T2}$ ................1

so ${P2} = \frac{P1*T2}{T1}$

${P2} = \frac{2*10^5*350}{300}$

P2 = 2.33 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 2.33 × $10^{5}$ - 1.0 × $10^{5}$

gauge pressure = 1.33 × $10^{5}$ Pa

so gauge pressure is 133 kPa

mariarad [96]

Explanation:

The three-second rule is recommended for passenger vehicles during ideal road and weather conditions. Slow down and increase your following distance even more during adverse weather conditions or when visibility is reduced. Also increase your following distance if you are driving a larger vehicle or towing a trailer.

For each of the following stacking sequences found in FCC metals, cite the type of planar defect that exists:

lana [24]

Answer:

a) The planar defect that exists is twin boundary defect.

b) The planar defect that exists is the stacking fault.

Explanation:

I am using bold and underline instead of a vertical line.

a. A B C A B C B A C B A

In this stacking sequence, the planar defect that occurs is twin boundary defect because the stacking sequence at one side of the bold and underlined part of the sequence is the mirror image or reflection of the stacking sequence on the other side. This shows twinning. Hence it is the twin boundary inter facial defect.

b. A B C A B C B C A B C

In this stacking sequence the planar defect that occurs is which occurs is stacking fault defect. This underlined region is HCP like sequence. Here BC is the extra plane hence resulting in the stacking fault defect. The fcc stacking sequence with no defects should be A B C A B C A B C A B C. So in the above stacking sequence we can see that A is missing in the sequence. Instead BC is the defect or extra plane. So this disordering of the sequence results in stacking fault defect.
