Answer

Correct option is B that is Desktop computer

Explanation

Option A

This option is not correct because in a Locomotive train steam, diesel or batteries are used.

Option B

It is Correct option because in desktop a transformer is there which uses AC current. Most of us have desktop and we used AC current to operate it we don't have any other option to operate a desktop except AC current

Option C

This is not correct option because in a car we used petrol, deisel, gas or DC batteries.

Option D

Option D is not correct option because to operate portable media player we can use both alternating current or batteries

Option

This is not correct option because in flashlight we uses DC batteries

Hope this answer will help you

B. Desktop computer

A Locomotive train runs on steam, diesel, or batteries

a car either gas or electric uses DC batteries

portable media player can use AC or batteries

A flashlight uses DC batteries

The computer actually has a transformer built into it which uses AC current

What do you think would happen to the force of attraction of two interacting charges if their distance apart is halved?

sweet [91]

Answer:

The new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

Explanation:

The force of attraction or repulsion is given by the relation as follows :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

Where

d is the distance between the interacting charges

F is inversely proportional to the distance between charges.

If the distance is halved, d'=(d/2), new force is given by :

$F'=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d'^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{(\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{\dfrac{d^2}{4}}\\\\=4\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F'=4F$

So, the new force becomes 4 times the initial force.

Now we’ll use the component method to add two vectors. We will use this technique extensively when we begin to consider how forc

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

Explanation:

Since vector A has magnitude 50 cm and a direction of 30, its x - component is A' = 50cos30 = 43.3 cm and its y - component is A" = 50sin30 = 25.

Also, Since vector B has magnitude 35 cm and a direction of 110, its x - component is A' = 35cos110 = -11.97 cm and its y - component is A" = 35sin110 = 32.89 cm.

So, the vector sum R = A + B

The x-component of the vector sum is R' = A'+ B' = 43.3 cm + (-11.97 cm) = 43.3 cm - 11.97 cm = 31.33 cm

The y-component of the vector sum is R" = A"+ B" = 25 cm + 32.89 cm = 57.89 cm

So, the magnitude of R = √(R'² + R"²)

= √((31.33 cm)² + (57.89 cm)²)

= √(981.5689 cm² + 3,351.2521 cm²)

= √(4,332.821 cm²)

= 65.82 cm

≅ 65.8 cm

The direction of R is Ф = tan⁻¹(R"/R')

= tan⁻¹(57.89 cm/31.33 cm)

= tan⁻¹(1.84775)

= 61.58°

≅ 61.6°

So, the magnitude of the vector sum of A and B is 65.8 cm and its direction 61.6°

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2

MArishka [77]

From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds

Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?

Lelu [443]

Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.

Why does it take significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move the beam of alpha particles compared with

wlad13 [49]

It takes significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move a beam of alpha particles compared with the beam of electrons(betaparticles) because the charge of an alpha particle is twice stronger than a beta particle. Therefore, more energy is needed to move the alpha particle.
