Alternating current changes the ____ of the current flow

Physics
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]4 years ago
5 0

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.

Which of the following is the best paraphrasing of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
nadezda [96]
<h2>Answer: The more precisely you know the position of a particle, the less well you can know the momentum of the particle </h2>

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle was enunciated in 1927. It postulates that the fact that each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine <u>its position and speed at the same time.  </u>

In other words:  

<em>It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle.</em>  

<h2>So, the greater certainty is seeked in determining the position of a particle, the less is known its linear momentum and, therefore, its mass and velocity.  </h2><h2 />

In fact, even with the most precise devices, the uncertainty in the measurement continues to exist. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.  

Therefore the correct option is C.

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra
Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

  • The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
  • The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Where:

g=9.8 m/s^2

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s

Of the following the only process not involed in the making of clastic rocks is:
Elden [556K]
The answer is B. build up of plant materials. This is because those rocks that are composed of materials, which are organic matters from decaying plants, formed by biological activity are called biogenic or organic or non-clastic rocks. On the other hand, clastic rocks are made up of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
