Tech A says that a relay is a one-way electrical check valve used in alternators to change AC into DC. Tech B says that a relay

uses electromagnetism to open or close a switch. Who is correct?
Physics

Setler [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is from Tech B.

Explanation:

The relay is an electromagnetic device, which is stimulated by a very weak electrical current to open or close a circuit.  It functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit in which, by means of a coil and an electromagnet, a sequence of one or several contactors is activated that allow to open or close other electrical circuits independent of the one that controls it.

Have a nice day!

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.375 g is the final amount of the material  

A_{o}=3 g is the initial amount of the material  

t=1 h is the time elapsed  

H is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)  

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find h from (1):

0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (2)  

\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}}) (4)  

-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2) (5)  

Clearing H:

H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693) (6)  

Finally:

h=0.333 h This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope

If the mass of both objects are doubled while the
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The force becomes 16 times what it is now.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is

F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

When you do what you have described, you are setting a stage that not even the USS Enterprise (Star Trek) can get out of. The increase is huge.

If you double m1 and m2 and don't do anything to r, you've already increased the force by 4 times. (2m1 * 2m2 = 4 * m1 * m2)

But you are not finished. If you 1/2 the distance, you are again increasing the Force by 4 times. 1 / (2r) ^2 = 1/ 4* r^2

Because this is in the denominator, the 1/4 is going to flip to the numerator.

So the total increase is going to be 4 * (4 * m1 * m2) = 16 * m1 * m2.

Think about what that means. If you were out golfing, your drives would be roughly 1/16 times as far as they are now. Also you would be lugging around 16 times your weight around the golf course. My feeling is that you would never finish 5 holes at that rate.

A locomotive approaches its next stop and accelerates at -0.12 m/s^2, coming to a complete stop in 30 seconds. This motion could
Masja [62]

Answer:

<em>Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.

The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.

Thus the velocity is positive.

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration

How does the current in a circuit change if the resistance is doubled? The current is halved. The current is doubled. The curren
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The current is halved

Explanation:

The relationship between the current and the resistance is given by Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = IR\\I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

V = Voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

Therefore, if we double the resistance:

I' = \frac{V}{2R}\\\\I' = \frac{1}{2}I

Hence the correct option is:

<u>The current is halved</u>

allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity
