Answer:

A) because it is produced by a generator that changes current direction as it spins

Explanation:

Alternating current has a frequency of around 60 Hz because it is produced by a generator that changes direction as it spins. Every time the arm passes through the magnetic field in the generator, the current changes direction.

Which of the following provides evidence that geologic activity occurred in the past on Earth's Moon?
Bingel [31]

Answer: d) the presence of solidified lava flows on the Moon

Explanation:

A geological activity means an occurrence of event such as volcanic eruption, earthquake, sedimentation, erosion etc. The revolution of the Moon around the Earth , the axial tilt of the Moon  or the phases of the Moon are not surface features. hence, these events cannot provide the evidence of geological activity in the past of Moon.

The surface features of moon such as Mares, Craters, mountains, Rays and rills are the proof of some geological activity on the Moon. Mares are the dark patches on the moon's surface formed of solidified lava. Due to negligible atmosphere on the moon, the meteors strike its surface and cause craters to form. Thus, the correct answer is d.

In a lab experiment, a student is trying to apply the conservation of momentum. Two identical balls, each with a mass of 1.0 kg,
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Second Trial satisfy principle of conservation of momentum

Explanation:

Given mass of ball A and ball B =\ 1.0\ Kg.

Let mass of ball A and B\ is\ m  

Final velocity of ball A\ is\ v_1

Final velocity of ball B\ is\ v_2

initial velocity of ball A\ is\ u_1

Initial velocity of ball B\ is\ u_2

Momentum after collision =mv_1+mv_2

Momentum before collision = mu_1+mu_2

Conservation of momentum in a closed system states that, moment before collision should be equal to moment after collision.

Now, mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2

Plugging each trial in this equation we get,

First Trial

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\1(1)+1(-2)=1(-2)+1(-1)\\1-2=-2-1\\-1=-3

momentum before collision \neq moment after collision

Second Trial

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\1(.5)+1(-1.5)=1(-.5)+1(-.5)\\.5-1.5=-.5-.5\\-1=-1

moment before collision = moment after collision

Third Trial

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\1(2)+1(1)=1(1)+1(-2)\\2+1=1-2\\3=-1

momentum before collision \neq moment after collision

Fourth Trial

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\1(.5)+1(-1)=1(1.5)+1(-1.5)\\.5-1=1.5-1.5\\-.5=0

momentum before collision \neq moment after collision

We can see only Trial- 2 shows the conservation of momentum in a closed system.

How are weather satellites and weather stations similar?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>Weather satellites and weather stations are similar, because they both have the same purpose. They are used to help predict future weather as well as as current conditions. The satellites are viewing the weather from a distance at a large scope, but stations are using data they collect on earth to help with the same task.</span>

What is the area of a circle of a radius 4.1×10^4 cm
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

128805.2988 cm squared or 128000 to 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

Area of a circle : pi times radius squared or r^{2} \pi

pi times 4.1×10^4 cm = 41000 pi or 128805.2988
