Answer: diode

Explanation: A diode is an electronic device that has the ability to work in 1 direction of electric current.

At forward bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the source and negative terminal to the negative of the source) the diode allows current to flow thus acting as a close switch.

At reverse bias ( when the positive terminal of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the source and the negative terminal of the diode to the positive terminal of the source) the diode stops question from flowing thus acting like an open circuit or an open switch

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$\mu =0.75$

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

$F_c=m.a_c$

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

$F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

$F_r=\mu N$
