An alternating current changes position 50 to 60 times per second due to the changing charges at the ends of the wires. As the charges change from (+) to (-) and vice versa, the electrons in the wire change direction according to its attraction and repulsion from the charges. Whether a country uses 50 or 60 depends on its electrical system.

How balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is made due to respreration and photosinthesis. As we leave carbon dioxide and take in oxygen the ballance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made. And during the photosinthesis of plants the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made.

(c) A moving train has a kinetic energy of 8.1 x 10(power of 6)J.
tamaranim1 [39]

the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Friction force is the force that opposes the motion between two bodies in contact.

To calculate the average friction force provided by the brakes, we apply the formula below.

Formula:

  • K.E = F'd............. Equation 1

Where:

  • K.E = Kinetic energy of the train
  • F' = Friction force provided by the brakes
  • d = distance

Make F' the subject of the equation

  • F' = K.E/d............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • K.E = 8.1×10⁶
  • d = 270 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F' = (8.1 ×10⁶)/270
  • F' = 30000 N

Hence, the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N

calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 20kg at steady velocity through a vertical height of 20m
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

<h3>P.E. = mgh </h3>

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

<h3>Work done = mgh</h3>

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ
