Answer:

Alternating

Explanation:

It is alternating because it is easy to distribute long distance.

Direct current is found in batteries and have large voltage drop over distance.

Why do the graphs differ?

melisa1 [442]

Well first graph represents rectangular hyperbola

vu = c^2 ( c is constant)

AS 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Take1/ f to be constant c

1/v = c - 1/u

it is of the form y = - x + k

Slope = -1 having intercept k as shown in fig 2

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot

Lera25 [3.4K]

The wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is
$v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s$
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
$t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s$

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ( $\Delta t$ ):

$J=F \Delta t$ (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F=ma$

So, (1) becomes

$J=ma \Delta t$

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

$J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v$

And the quantity $m\Delta v$ is equivalent to the change in momentum, $\Delta p$ .
