A vacuum tube can be used to__. A. change alternating current into direct current B. increase the strength of a signal.. C. turn
vesna_86 [32]

The correct answer of this question is :  A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.

An object is placed at O ona number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
