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.

Which factors affect gravitational potential force but not elastic potential energy

Inga [223]

Answer:

The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration

Explanation:

- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

$U=mgh$

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.

- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.

As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.

Objects floating in the water, like buoys, only bob up and down when waves pass. Why do they not get pushed all the way to where

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.
