Answer:

Direction

Explanation:

There are two types of electric current:

- DC (Direct current): in a direct current, the direction of the flow of the current is constant; this means that it does not change. This means that the potential difference supplied has always the same direction, so that the electrons travel always in the same direction through the circuit

- AC (Alternating current): in an alternating current, the direction of the flow of the current is constantly reverses. This means that the direction of the potential difference supplied constantly changes, therefore the electrons travel half the time in one direction and half the time in the opposite direction.

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain

Shtirlitz [24]

Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t

pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin $\theta\\$ where;

r is the radius of the of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

$\theta\\$ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

$T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm$

A(n) 1100 kg car is parked on a 4◦ incline. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the force of friction keeping the ca

igomit [66]

Answer:

Force of friction, f = 751.97 N

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

It is parked on a 4° incline. We need to find the force of friction keeping the car from sliding down the incline.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the normal and its weight is acting on the car. f is the force of friction such that it balances the x component of its weight i.e.

$f=mg\ sin\theta$

$f=1100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\ sin(4)$

f = 751.97 N

So, the force of friction on the car is 751.97 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Debbie places two shopping carts in a cart Corral. she pushes the first cart, which then pushes a second cart. what force is bei

Bingel [31]

When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.

Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.
