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

It is A. a refrigerator cause a alternating current is current that doesn't stop and the refrigerator is plug into the wall.

While on a moving elevator during a certain perfod or time, Frank's apparent weight is 620 N. If Frank's mass is 70 kg, what is

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

0.94 m/s^2 downwards

Explanation:

m = 70 kg, m g = 70 x 9.8 = 686 N

R = 620 N

Let the acceleration be a, as the apparent weight decreases so the elevator is moving downwards with an acceleration a.

mg - R = ma

686 - 620 = 70 x a

a = 0.94 m/s^2

A hiker travels south along a straight line path for 1.5 hours with an average velocity of 0.75 km/hr, then travels south for 2.

ANTONII [103]

Distance travelled in south direction= 1.5hr*0.75km/hr= 1.125km
Distance travlled in north direction= 0.90*2.5=2.25
Net displacement = 2.25-1.125= 1.125 to the north
