One major advantage of alternating current over direct current is that you can use alternating current with a device known as a

transformer. The reason why alternating current works in transformers but direct current does not is?

transformer makes use of mutual induction for its operation in which change in magnetic field in one coil due to variation of current , induces voltage in the other coil. so changing magnetic field in the primary coil is very much needed for the transformer. Alternating current is a current which varies with time , hence it is suitable to produce changing magnetic field in the primary coil. on the other hand , the direct current remains constant all the time. hence can not produce a changing magnetic field. so DC current is not useful for transformers.

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons. This fact by itself shows thatthere must be some other type of force in addition
Stells [14]

Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?

You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.

It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.

one mole of water is equivalent to 18 grams of water. a glass of water has a mass of 200 g. how many moles of water is in this?
ehidna [41]
1 mole = 18 g
200 g = glass of water
200 ÷ 18 = 11.1

The volume flow rate in an artery supplying the brain is 4.00 10-6 m3/s. (a) If the radius of the artery is 4.50 10-3 m, determi
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.063 m/s

(b) 1.01 m/s

Explanation:

rate of volume flow, V = 4 x 10^-6 m^3/s

(a) radius, r = 4.5 x 10^-3 m

Let the speed of blood is v.

So, V = A x v

where A be the area of crossection of  artery

4 x 10^-6 = 3.14 x 4.5 x 10^-3 x 4.5 x 10^-3 x v

v = 0.063 m/s

Thus, the speed of flow of blood is 0.063 m/s .

(b) Now r' = r / 4 = 4.5 /4 x 10^-3 m = 1.125 x 10^-3 m

Let the speed is v'.

So, V = A' x v'

4 x 10^-6 = 3.14 x 1.125 x 10^-3 x 1.125 x 10^-3 x v'

v' = 1.01 m/s

Thus, the speed of flow of blood is 1.01 m/s .
