Alternating current is normally produced by a

Physics
1 answer:
skad [1K]4 years ago
3 0
<h2>Answer: Generator</h2>

Alternating Current (AC) is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

In other words:

It is a variable electric current in which <u>electrical charges change the direction of movement periodically</u>.

Unlike Direct Current (DC), that is produced by a chemical reaction (a battery, for example), alternating current is produced by a <u>generator</u> that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Light of wavelength λ travels through a medium with an index of refraction n1before striking a thin film with an index of refrac
ra1l [238]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

A light that transmits through n₂ travels t distance before reflection off the n₁ medium and again travels distance t before reaching the point from where it entered n₂  medium. Hence it travels 2 t distance more than the light that is reflected off n₂.

It( light entering n₂) also travels an additional distance equal to, half of the wavelength, when reflected off n₁ ( as n₁ is greater than n₂).  

Wavelength in n₂ is = \dfrac{\lambda}{n_2}  

Hence, path length difference = 2t +\dfrac{\lambda}{2 n_2}

. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 113 m słatan angle of 60.0
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) 9.99 s

b) 538 m

c) 20.5 s

d) 1160 m

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

y₀ = 49.0 m

v₀ = 113 m/s

θ = 60.0°

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

a) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find t.

vᵧ = aᵧ t + v₀ᵧ

(0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (113 sin 60.0° m/s)

t ≈ 9.99 s

b) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find y.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2aᵧ (y − y₀)

(0 m/s)² = (113 sin 60° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 49.0 m)

y ≈ 538 m

c) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find t.

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (49.0 m) + (113 sin 60° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

You'll need to solve using quadratic formula:

t ≈ -0.489, 20.5

Since negative time doesn't apply here, t ≈ 20.5 s.

d) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find x. (Use answer from part c).

x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

x = (0 m) + (113 cos 60° m/s) (20.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20.5 s)²

x ≈ 1160 m

12. What is the photoelectric effect, and what experimental evidence led scientists
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it. In a broader definition, the radiant energy may be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, X-rays, or gamma rays; the material may be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles may be ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) as well as electrons. The phenomenon was fundamentally significant in the development of modern physics because of the puzzling questions it raised about the nature of light—particle versus wavelike behaviour—that were finally resolved by Albert Einstein in 1905. The effect remains important for research in areas from materials science to astrophysics, as well as forming the basis for a variety of useful devices.

What will happen to a negatively charged particle placed at rest between points that have electric potentials 0V and 9V? Explain
finlep [7]

Hey there!

a) The electric field is in direction of decreasing value of potential so the electric field here will points towards 0v from 9 v. But the charge on particle is negative so the force will be towards the 9v point. and so the charge will move towards the 9 V point.

b) Electric potential is a location-dependent quantity that expresses the amount of potential energy per unit of charge at a specified location while.the electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential (V) between the final and the initial location when work is done upon a charge to change its potential energy. Electric potential is always a relative quantity because no one can find out absolute potential at a point, so in reality only potential difference exists. We can assume potential at certain point (say at infinity it is zero) only then we are able to define potential at every point.

c) The knowlendge of electric potential helps us in finding the work done on the particle which is used in work energy theorem to find out the chanrge in kinetic energy and other stuff.

Hope this helps!
