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.

Saturated steam at 125 kpa is compressed adiabatically in a centrifugal compressor to 700 kpa at the rate of 2.5 kg⋅s−1. the com

M° = 2.5 kg/sec
For saturated steam tables
at p₁ = 125Kpa
hg = h₁ = 2685.2 KJ/kg
SQ = s₁ = 7.2847 KJ/kg-k
for isotopic compression
S₁ = S₂ = 7.2847 KJ/kg-k
at 700Kpa steam with S = 7.2847
h₂ 3051.3 KJ/kg
Compressor efficiency
h = 0.78
0.78 = h₂ - h₁/h₂-h₁
0.78 = h₂-h₁ → 0.78 = 3051.3 - 2685.2/h₂ - 2685.2
h₂ = 3154.6KJ/kg
at 700Kpa with 3154.6 KJ/kg
enthalpy gives
entropy S₂ = 7.4586 KJ/kg-k
Work = m(h₂ - h₁) = 2.5(3154.6 - 2685.2
W = 1173.5KW

Ket [755]

Answer:

Mass is how much matter an object contains. Mass and weight are different measurements, although they may seem similar. Mass is measured by comparing one object to another object of known mass. Grams and kilograms are units we use to measure mass.

How does the nucleus of an atom change when it emits an alpha or beta particle?

maria [59]

First of all, an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons (similar to a Helium atom). When an atom emits an alpha particle, its nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. And its total mass decreases by 4 atomic mass units.(As mass of a proton or a neutron is 1 amu)

There are two kinds of beta emissions (or particles) positron or electron.

When an atom emits a ${ \beta }^{ + }$ (positron) particle, actually one if its protons releases the particle. Since a positron's charge is positive, when the atom releases a positron it loses its positive charge and turns into a neutron.

When an atom emits a ${ \beta }^{ - }$ (electron) particle, one of its neutrons releases a ${ \beta }^{ - }$ (electron). And since an electron's charge is negative (-) the neutron loses its negative charge (since neutron's electrical charge is neutral) and turns into a proton.

This is simply explained ^

There are some other details but this should be enough :)
