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.

A disk 7.90 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1 190 rev/min about its central axis. (a) Determine its angular speed. 12

Tanya [424]

Answer:

$124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

$3.71\ \text{m/s}$

$1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

$20.28\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

r = Radius of disk = 7.9 cm

N = Number of revolution per minute = 1190 rev/minute

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=N\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1190\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

The angular speed is $124.62\ \text{rad/s}$

r = 2.98 cm

Tangential speed is given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=2.98\times 10^{-2}\times 124.62\\\Rightarrow v=3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Tangential speed at the required point is $3.71\ \text{m/s}$

Radial acceleration is given by

$a=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a=124.62^2\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow a=1226.88\approx 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$

The radial acceleration is $1.23\ \text{km/s}^2$ .

t = Time = 2.06 s

Distance traveled is given by

$d=vt\\\Rightarrow d=\omega rt\\\Rightarrow d=124.62\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\times 2.06\\\Rightarrow d=20.28\ \text{m}$

The total distance a point on the rim moves in the required time is $20.28\ \text{m}$ .

your answer is.....

D. have a large atomic radius

although they also increase going from left to right so if D is incorrect, B might be your answer. it depends on context of the lesson.

A 4.9-MeV (kinetic energy) proton enters a 0.28-T field, in a plane perpendicular to the field. Part APart complete What is the

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$r=1.14m$

Explanation:

$\theta$ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. So, the magnetic force on the proton is:

$F_m=qvBsen\theta\\F_m=qvBsen(90^\circ)\\F_m=qvB$

A charged particle describes a semicircle in a uniform magnetic field. Therefore, applying Newton's second law to uniform circular motion:

$F_m=F_c\\qvB=F_c(1)$

$F_c$ is the centripetal force and is defined as:

$F_c=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

Here $v$ is the proton's speed and $r$ is the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this in (1) and solving for r:

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\r=\frac{mv^2}{qvB}\\r=\frac{mv}{qB}$

Recall that 1 J is equal to $6.242*10^{12}MeV$ , so:

$4.9MeV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{12}MeV}=7.85*10^{-13}J$

We can calculate $v$ from the kinetic energy of the proton:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.85*10^{-13}J)}{1.67*10^{-27}kg}}\\v=3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we calculate the radius of the proton path:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}\\r=\frac{1.67*10^{-27}kg(3.06*10^{7}\frac{m}{s})}{1.6*10^{-19}C(0.28T)}\\r=1.14m$
