Option (D) is correct. All of the above options are correct.

Further Explanation:

If two electrodes are inserted inside a vacuum tube under the proper physical condition then the complete system can behave as a rectifier which can be used to convert the alternating current into the direct current.

One can also insert a controller grid inside the vacuum tube which can easily control the strength of the signal passed through it and also help in increasing the strength of the signal

Whereas on the other hand a vacuum tube considered as a bad conductor and therefore, it the current passed through a vacuum area, then the current flow in the region will be hindered and therefore, the vacuum tube can be used as a switch to turn on and off the current.

Therefore, the above explanations suggest that all of the options are correct.

Thus, Option (D) is correct. All of the above options are correct.

The correct answer of this question is :  A) Change alternating current into direct current.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we are given vacuum tube. Vacuum tube can be of various types. Normally it contains two electrodes called cathode and anode which are enclosed in an evacuated glass chamber . There are also other types of vacuum tubes which contain extra electrodes like control grid .

The vacuum tube can be used as a rectifier. It means that it can be used as an electronic device which will convert alternating current into direct current. It may be a half wave rectifier or a full wave rectifier. Actually the direct current obtained during the rectification of alternating current is pulsating in nature.

Hence, the correct answer is that a vacuum tube can be used to change alternating current into direct current.

The following is the longitudinal characteristic equation for an F-89 flying at 20,000 feet at Mach 0.638. The Short Period natu
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete  attached below is the missing part  

answer : short period oscillations frequency  = 0.063 rad / sec

              phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

Explanation:

first we have to state the general form of the equation

= ( S^2 + 2\alpha _{p} w_{np} S + w^{2} _{np} ) (S^{2} + 2\alpha _{s} w_{ns}S + w^{2} _{ns}  ) = 0

where :

w_{np}  = Natural frequency of plugiod oscillation

\alpha _{p} = damping ratio of plugiod  oscilations

comparing the general form with the given equation

w^{2} _{np}  = 18.2329

w^{2} _{ns} = 0.003969

hence the short period oscillation frequency ( w_{ns} ) =  0.063 rad/sec

phugoid oscillations natural frequency ( w_{np} ) = 4.27 rad/sec

21. A 1000-kg automobile moving with a speed of 24 m/s relative to the road collides with a 500-kg automobile initially at rest.
Luda [366]

A truck is moving with less velocity in the direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more momentum.

<h3 /><h3>In which direction the truck moves?</h3>

A truck is moving with the velocity of 10 m/s in the same direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more mass so it has more momentum. Due to collision, the velocity of the truck is slow down but can't be stopped because of high momentum in the truck.

So we can conclude that a truck is moving with less velocity in the direction in which the truck is moving earlier because the truck has more momentum.
