Direct current is the flow of an electric charge?

1 answer:

3 0

Direct current is the unidirectional flow of an electric charge.

The term 'unidirectional' in the statement means that direct current only moves in one direction. Direct current usually produced by things such as batteries, dynamos, and power supplies

hope this helps <span />

You have a summer job at a company that developed systems to safely lower large loads down ramps. Your team is investigating a m

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Note that the emf induced is

emf = B d v cos (A)

---> v = emf / [B d cos (A)]

where

B = magnetic field

d = distance of two rails

v = constant speed

A = angle of rails with respect to the horizontal

Also, note that

I = emf/R

where R = resistance of the bar

Thus,

I = B d v cos (A) / R

Thus, the bar experiences a magnetic force of

F(B) = B I d = B^2 d^2 v cos (A) / R, horizontally, up the incline.

Thus, the component of this parallel to the incline is

F(B //) = F(B) cos(A) = B I d = B^2 d^2 v cos^2 (A) / R

As this is equal to the component of the weight parallel to the incline,

B^2 d^2 v cos^2 (A) / R = m g sin (A)

where m = the mass of the bar.

Solving for v,

v = [R m g sin (A) / B^2 d^2 cos^2 (A)] [ANSWER, the constant speed, PART A]

******************************

v = [R m g sin (A) / B^2 d^2 cos^2 (A)]

Plugging in the units,

m/s = [ [ohm * kg * m/s^2] / [T^2 m^2] ]

Note that T = kg / (s * C), and ohm = J * s/C^2

Thus,

m/s = [ [J * s/C^2 * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg / (s * C))^2 m^2] ]

= [ [J * s/C^2 * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg^2 m^2) / (s^2 C^2)]

As J = kg*m^2/s^2, cancelling C^2,,

= [ [kg*m^2/s^2 * s * kg * m/s^2] / [(kg^2 m^2) / (s^2)]

Cancelling kg^2,

= [ [m^2/s^2 * s * m/s^2] / [(m^2) / (s^2)]

Cancelling m^2/s^2,

= [s * m/s^2]

Cancelling s,

=m/s [DONE! WE SHOWED THE UNITS ARE CORRECT! ]

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.

Crank

Answer: 1000 Hz

Explanation:

You can calculate frequency by dividing velocity by wavelength

Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Find velocity first.

900 m/3 s = 300 m/s

Plug values in to find frequency.

F = (300 m/s)/0.3 m

F = 1000 Hz

If you stood on a planet with four times the mass of Earth, and twice Earth's radius, how much would you weigh?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1/4 times your earth's weight

Explanation:

assuming the Mass of earth = M

Radius of earth = R

∴ the mass of the planet= 4M

the radius of the planet = 4R

gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

Gravitational force of the planet = $\frac{G4M}{(4R)^{2} }$

= $\frac{G4M}{16R^{2} }$

= $\frac{GM}{4R^{2} }$

recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth

you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor

joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_1=222 J$

Work done on the system $W_1=-150 J$

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_2=123 J$

Work done on the system $W_2=-195 J$

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

$Q=\Delta U+W$

for first step

$Q_1=222-150=72 J$

$Q_2=123-195=-72 J$

overall heat added $=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q_{net}=72-72 =0$

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J
