Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
Answer:
The break force that must be applied to hold the plane stationary is 12597.4 N
Explanation:
p₁ = p₂, T₁ = T₂
The heat supplied = 
× Heating value of jet fuel
The heat supplied = 0.5 kg/s × 42,700 kJ/kg = 21,350 kJ/s
The heat supplied = 
· 
= 20 kg/s
The heat supplied = 20* = 21,350 kJ/s
= 1.15 kJ/kg
T₃ = 21,350/(1.15*20) + 485.03 = 1413.3 K
p₂ = p₁ × p₂/p₁ = 95×9 = 855 kPa
p₃ = p₂ = 855 kPa
T₃ - T₄ = T₂ - T₁ = 485.03 - 280.15 = 204.88 K
T₄ = 1413.3 - 204.88 = 1208.42 K
T₅ = 1208.42*(2/2.333) = 1035.94 K
= √(1.333*287.3*1035.94) = 629.87 m/s
The total thrust = × 
= 20*629.87 = 12597.4 N
Therefore;
The break force that must be applied to hold the plane stationary = 12597.4 N.
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
Given
Original length of the rod is 
Strain experienced is 
Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length
Therefore, new length is given by (Considering the load is tensile in nature)
Thus, option (b) is correct.
