It is called "alternating current" or "ac current".

An alternating current is a current the periodically changes direction. Basically, the voltage difference applied at the two ends of the wire / of the circuit is constantly reversed. This means that at some point electrons travel in one direction, then the voltage is switched (i.e. the polarities are exchanged) and the electrons start to flow into the opposite direction, and so on.

A small water droplet in a mist of air is approximated as being a sphere of diameter 1.25 mil. Calculate the terminal velocity a
shtirl [24]

The terminal velocity as it falls through still air is 4.65154 in/s.

The diameter of small water droplet is 1.25 mil= 1.25×0.0254×10^-3 m

                                                                            = 3.175 × 10^-5 m

Now the viscosity of still air is η = 1.83× 10⁻⁵ Pa

 So the formula for drag force is:

                Fd = 6πηrv

  where,  v is the velocity.

Now to attain terminal velocity acceleration must be zero.

            →  W = Fd

                ρVg = 6πrηv

                ρ × 4/3 πr³×g = 6πrηv

                           v = 2/9 × ρgr³/ η

                           v =  2/9 × 10³×9.81×(3.175×10^-3) / 18.6×10^-6

                           v = 0.1181  m/s

                           v = 4.65154 in/s

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north
