The correct answer to the question is direct current i.e a battery produces direct current which is the current that flows in only one direction.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the types of current. There are generally two types of current which are known as direct current and alternating current.

Direct current:

A direct current is the current which moves in one direction only. It may be a steady current or a pulsating direct current.

A steady current is a time independent current i.e its magnitude is constant with time. It is also known as a stationary current. For instance, the current flowing through a battery.

A pulsating dc current is a type of dc current in which the magnitude of the current changes with time, but moves in one direction. For instance, the current produced in a junction diode rectifier.

Alternating current: Alternating current is the type of fluctuating current whose magnitude changes continuously and direction changes periodically.

In the given question, the current produced in a battery is flowing in one direction only.

Hence, the correct answer to the question will be direct current.

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 secs. What is the acceleration of the truck?

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature $(T_i)=300 K$

$P_i=10 atm$

$P_f=2 atm$

Work done in iso-thermal process $=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$

$P_i$ =initial pressure

$P_f$ =Final Pressure

$W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J$

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is $=P\Delta V$

$V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L$

$V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L$

$\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J$

$\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J$

$\Delta U=0$

A solid cylinder of mass M = 45 kg, radius R = 0.44 m and uniform density is pivoted on a frictionless axle coaxial with its sym

user100 [1]

Answer:

w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of the solid cylinder M = 45 kg

- Radius of the cylinder R = 0.44 m

- The mass of the particle m = 3.6 kg

- The initial speed of cylinder w_i = 0 rad/s

- The initial speed of particle V_pi = 3.3 m/s

- Mass moment of inertia of cylinder I_c = 0.5*M*R^2

- Mass moment of inertia of a particle around an axis I_p = mR^2

Find:

- What is the magnitude of its angular velocity after the collision?

Solution:

- Consider the mass and the cylinder as a system. We will apply the conservation of angular momentum on the system.

L_i = L_f

- Initially, the particle is at edge at a distance R from center of cylinder axis with a velocity V_pi = 3.3 m/s contributing to the initial angular momentum of the system by:

L_(p,i) = m*V_pi*R

L_(p,i) = 3.6*3.3*0.44

L_(p,i) = 5.2272 kgm^2 /s

- While the cylinder was initially stationary w_i = 0:

L_(c,i) = I*w_i

L_(c,i) = 0.5*M*R^2*0

L_(c,i) = 0 kgm^2 /s

The initial momentum of the system is L_i:

L_i = L_(p,i) + L_(c,i)

L_i = 5.2272 + 0

L_i = 5.2272 kg-m^2/s

- After, the particle attaches itself to the cylinder, the mass and its distribution around the axis has been disturbed - requires an equivalent Inertia for the entire one body I_equivalent. The final angular momentum of the particle is as follows:

L_(p,f) = I_p*w_f

- Similarly, for the cylinder:

L_(c,f) = I_c*w_f

- Note, the final angular velocity w_f are same for both particle and cylinder. Every particle on a singular incompressible (rigid) body rotates at the same angular velocity around a fixed axis.

L_f = L_(p,f) + L_(c,f)

L_f = I_p*w_f + I_c*w_f

L_f = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

-Where, I_p + I_c is the new inertia for the entire body = I_equivalent that we discussed above. This could have been determined by the superposition principle as long as the axis of rotations are same for individual bodies or parallel axis theorem would have been applied for dissimilar axes.

L_i = L_f

5.2272 = w_f*(I_p + I_c)

w_f = 5.2272/ R^2*(m + 0.5M)

Plug in values:

w_f = 5.2272/ 0.44^2*(3.6 + 0.5*45)

w_f = 5.2272/ 5.05296

w_f = 1.0345 rad/s

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the heavier car m_1 = 1750 kg

Mass of the lighter car m_2 = 1350 kg

The speed of the lighter car just after collision can be represented as follows

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\frac{(1850)(1.4)+(1450)(-1.10)-(1850)(0.250)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590+(-1595)-(462.5)}{1450} \\\\=\frac{2590-1595-462.5}{1450} \\\\=\frac{532.5}{1450}\\\\=0.367m/s$

b) the change in the combined kinetic energy of the two-car system during this collision

$\Delta K.E=(\frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2)-(\frac{1}{2} m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2u_2^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (m_1(v_1^2-u_1^2)+m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2))$

substitute the value in the equation above

$=\frac{1}{2} (1850((0.250)^2-(1.4)^2)+(1450((0.3670)^2-(-1.10)^2)\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(11850(0.0625-1.96)+(1450(0.1347)-(1.21))\\\\= \frac{1}{2}(11850(-1.8975))+(1450(-1.0753))\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-3510.375+(-1559.185)\\\\=\frac{1}{2} (-5069.56)\\\\=-2534.78J$

Hence, the change in combine kinetic energy is -2534.78J
