Answer:

Cycles per second is dependent on the construction of the alternator and the 120 volts is dependent upon the current and resistance in the circuit according to the ohms law.

Explanation:

We are given with AC of 120 volts, 20 amperes and 60 hertz frequency.

<u>According to the Ohm's law, we find its resistance:</u>

R=\frac{V}{I}

R=\frac{120}{20}

R=6\ \Omega

So, this 6 ohm resistance controls the current controls the magnitude of the AC current, while the frequency of the current remains constant and depends upon the construction and rotational speed of the armature of the alternator producing the current.

Here the value of frequency is the number of times the current changes its direction or the polarity in one second.

Does research lessen its value for its being cyclical? Enumerate Two Possible advantages of a cyclical research
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Research usually is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.

This is bad or lessens the value of the research?

No, because there are problems that in nature are cyclical, (for example the related ones to action research).

And it also may be a good thing, solving one "problem" leads to another problem, but in the process of solving the first one we may win a lot of knowledge, and the same happens with the next one, and so on.

Two possible advantages of cyclical research are:

Knowing beforehand that the research will be cyclical, will allow us to estimate better the amount of time and money needed because we already know (more or less) where to aim.

It also may lead to a better end product, as we already know that we must focus in solving one thing and then we can focus in the next one.

Another possible advantage may be that we know that after the work, there will be a new thing to research, and it is fun, so if you are curious enough this may be a good thing (especially in scientific areas, physics, chemistry, etc).

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude?
Kisachek [45]

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.

Answer:

Regardless of how the steps are documented, the goal of scientific method is to gather data that will validate or invalidate a cause and effect relationship.
