<h2>Answer: </h2>

<u>A direct current or DC is when the current is a constant fixed number. An alternating current or AC is when the current is alternating in a periodic manner. </u>

<h2>Explanation: </h2><h3>Similarities </h3>

Both have the flow of electrons which produce current
Both are the source of providing potential difference

<h3>Differences: </h3>

Direct current flows in one direction while alternating current flows in both directions.

Here is your answer:

1. A alternating current is a current "is an electric current which periodically reverses direction." A direct current is a "<span>current which flows only in one direction."

2. They are alike because both are "they both are able to travel in different directions." How they are not alike is that a "alternating current travels in a reverse direction but a direct current can only travel in one direction each current."

Hope this helps!</span>

How are eras and periods of the geologic time scale named?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

mark me brainliest plz

Explanation:

In the early 1800's a system for naming geologic time periods was devised using four periods of geologic time. They were named using Latin root words, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary. ... Keep in mind that this chart is focused on geologic time periods. There are also geologic Eons, Eras, and epochs.

Im sorry i dont understand pls helpp -w-

rodikova [14]

Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )

Period T= time of one revolution measured in seconds

ser-zykov [4K]

60 RPM equals one hertz (i.e., one revolution per second, or a period of one second). The SI unit for period is the second.

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is

andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

$Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\$

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater = 300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

$(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\$

A grandfather clock depends on the period of a pendulum to keep correct time.(ii) Suppose a grandfather clock is calibrated corr

ANEK [815]

The grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).

<h3>What is Time Period of an oscillation?</h3>

The time period of an oscillation refers to the time taken by an object to complete one oscillation.
It is the inverse of frequency of oscillation; denoted by "T".

Now,

$\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ , where L is the length and g is the gravitational constant, is the formula for a pendulum's period.
The period will increase as one climbs a very tall mountain because g will slightly decrease.
Due to this and the previous issue, the clock runs slowly and it seems that one second is longer than it actually is.

Hence, the grandfather clock will now run slow (Option A).
