Alternating current (AC), is the form of electrical energy that consumers use whenever they plug televisions, fans, bulb, AC, and any other appliances into a socket.

Direct Current (DC)

There are many uses of direct current (DC). It can be used to charge battery and large power supplies for motors and electronic system.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Alternating Current is the form whereby electric power is provided for residences and businesses. Alternating current may be produced using a device known as alternator.  

With Alternating current (AC), electrons don’t really flow in AC; they vibrate from positive to negative and back from negative to positive. They really vibrate back and forth. In AC, there is no continuous vibration unlike in DC.

Direct current (DC)

Direct current power in large quantities can be used in production of aluminum. It can also be used in other electrochemical processes.

With Direct current (DC), there is a movement of electron in one direction, that is, from negative (-) to positive (+). It is a constant current that flows continuously until it is switch off or the source of its power runs out.  An example of a DC power is a battery.

They may flow throw a conductor such as wire; they can also flow through insulators, semiconductors or vacuum as in ion beams or electron.

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.

A 0.450 kg soccer ball has a kinetic energy of 119 J.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

V is approximately = 23m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = ½ mv²

Where m= mass = 0.450kg

V= velocity =?

K. E = 119J

Therefore

K. E = ½ mv²

Input values given

119= ½ × 0.450 × v²

Multiply both sides by 2

119 ×2  = 2 × 1/2 × 0.450 × v²

238= 0.450v²

Divide both sides by 0.450

238/0.450 = 0.450v²/0.450

v² = 528.89

Square root both sides

Sq rt v² = sq rt 528.89

V = 22.998m/s

V is approximately = 23m/s

erastovalidia [21]

To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V the ratio of the sphere will be \frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }.

We know that the surface area and volume of the sphere is given by:

A=4 \pi r^{2}\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Therefore, the ratio between the surface area and the volume for the sphere will be:

\frac{A}{V}=\frac{4 \pi r^{2}\\}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}=\frac{3}{r}

Equating the volume to the constant c, we will find the value of r.

V=c=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\r= (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }

Substituting the value of r in the ration between surface area and volume, we get:

\frac{A}{V}=\frac{3}{ (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }}

Calculating the constants, we get:

\frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }

Hence, the ration between surface area and volume is \frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?
Alex Ar [27]
Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.

Newer aircraft jet catapult systems use magnets instead of steam. The launch still takes 1.19 seconds, but the acceleration is a
Westkost [7]

Answer:

33.6 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 47.41 m/s²

t = 1.19 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (1.19 s) + ½ (47.41 m/s²) (1.19 s)²

Δx = 33.6 m
