Answer: DC flows in one direction, and AC repeatedly switches direction

Explanation:

DC stands for direct current.

AC stands for alternating current.

When current flows only in single direction, it is known as direct current. When current changes direction i.e. it alternates direction, it is known as alternating current.

There are both AC generators and DC generators.

AC generators supply power to home appliances and small motors. DC generators are used to power large electric motors.

A person can jump 1.5m on the earth. How high could the person jump on a planet having the twice the mass of the earth and twice

MrMuchimi

F=mg=Gm1m2/r^2
g=Gm2/r^2
g=2Gm2/(2r)^2=2Gm2/4r^2=Gm2/2r^2
So since there is half times the gravity on this unknown planet that has twice earth's mass and twice it's radius, then the person can jump twice as high. 1.5*2= 3m high

How do mass and speed affect kinetic energy?

Lunna [17]

The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed<span> affects by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.</span>

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh$

Let's solve it for v:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

So the speed at the lowest point is $v=7 m/s$

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}$

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is $v_{2}=3.5 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

what was the temperature change in Celsius degree if it is changed from 44 degree fahrenheit to -56 degree fahrenheit

wel

Answer:

-11.11 degree Celsius

Explanation:

The change was 44 degree fanhereit

To 56 degree fanhereit

Therefore the temperature range can be calculated as follows

56-44

= 12 degree fanhereit to Celsius

= 12-32×5/9

= -20×5/9

= 100/9

= -11.11 degree Celsius

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.
