Answer : The correct option is, (A) Refrigerator

Explanation :

There are two type of current which are direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).

Direct current : In this, the electric current or charge flows in one direction only.

Alternating current : In this, the electric current or charge changes in periodical direction. It is used to supply power to houses, office building, etc.

From the given options, refrigerator device is most likely used to operate on alternating current.

While the other options, flashlight, remote control and cell phone is used to operate on direct current. In these devices, a battery is used which is a source of direct current.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) Refrigerator

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a smaller force to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a bigger force.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the Third Law of Motion, whenever an object exerts a force on another object (action force), an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force that is needed to stop it.

An unstable nucleus which has a tendency to spontaneously change its form with the emission of high-energy particles or photons

Pepsi [2]

Answer:Radioactive

Explanation:

The radioactive nucleus is the one which does not has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus in a stable state and thus radiates either electron or proton to become a stable element.

A radioactive element is formed when after billions of years such as uranium and thorium. The stability of the nucleus depends upon the opposition of attractive and repulsive force among the nucleus.
