Answer:

The electricity from battery is DC and current used in home is AC.

Explanation:

Direct current or widely known as DC is the outcome of chemical reactions in a battery cell. It has the following characteristics

• Magnitude of Voltage is constant

• Magnitude of current is constant

• Current flows in one direction

• Cannot create larger voltage easily

The alternating current, also known as AC, is generated by the rotating rods in a magnetic field. It has the following characteristics

• Magnitude of the voltage varies

• Magnitude of current varies

• Current can flow both directions

• Can generate higher voltage easily

Battery power is DC or direct current. The electrical charge only flows in one direction.

The type of current in a home is AC or alternating current. The electrical charge in AC changes direction periodically. It voltage also changes in reverse in response to the periodic change of direction made by the electrical charges.

A tennis ball is dropped from 1.3 m above

Dominik [7]

Answer:

2.65m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

v² = u²+2a∆S where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

∆S is the change in distance

a is the acceleration

Given

u = 0m/s

a = 9.8m/s²

∆S = 1.3-0.943

∆S = 0.357m

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

v² = 0²+2(9.8)(0.357)

v² = 0+6.9972

v² = 6.9972

v=√6.9972

v = 2.65m/s

Hence the velocity at which it hit the ground is 2.65m/s

Explain Ionic and Covalent bonding..

Elis [28]

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

Each blade of a fan has a radius of 11 inches. If the fan’s rate of turn is 1440o /sec, find the following. (a) The angular spee

notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) 24.43 radians per second

b) 268.73 inches per second

Explanation:

a) The angular speed of the fan on Celsius degrees/second is 1400, so we should convert that value to radians using the fact that 2π rad = 360 °C:

$\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=1400\frac{C}{s}*\frac{2\pi\,rad}{360\,C}$

$\omega = 1400\frac{C}{s}=24.43\frac{rad}{s}$

b) Linear speed on a point of the blade is related with angular speed of the fan by the equation

$v=\omega r$

with v linear speed, ω angular speed and r the radius of the blades. So:

$v=(24.43\frac{rad}{s})(11 in)$

Radians isn't really a unity; it is dimensionless so we can put it or not. So:

$v=268.73\frac{in}{s}$

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.
