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.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

$g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}$

g = 8.61 m/s²

Intense temperature and pressure of regional metamorphism

Explanation:

The process that cause the formation of the Vishnu Schist is the intense temperature and pressure as a result of regional metamorphism.

Regional metamorphism is an extensive metamorphism of an area as a result of temperature and pressure changes.
The schist is a foliated metamorphic rock usually found in areas of moderate to high grade temperature and pressure.
The Vishnu schist must have been metamorphosed before the new sediments were deposited on top.

An hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose total mass is 3.3×10−27 kg and whose moment of inertia about an axis p

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = $4\times 10^{-48}\ kg m^2$

m = Mass of two atoms = 2m = $3.3\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

r = distance between axis and rotation mass

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=2mr^2\\\Rightarrow 4\times 10^{-48}=3.3\times 10^{-27}\times r^2\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 10^{-48}}{3.3\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow r=3.48155\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The distance between the atoms will be two times the distance between axis and rotation mass.

$d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.48155\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow d=6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

How does the strong nuclear force hold the nucleus of an atom together?

erastovalidia [21]

The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.

Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)
