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.

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect
nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The current on the copper is  I  = 20 \ A

     The cross-sectional area is  A =  5.261 \ mm^2 =  5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2

The number of copper atom in the wire is  mathematically evaluated

      n  =  \frac{\rho *  N_a}Z}

Where \rho is the density of copper with a value \rho =  8.93 \ g/m^3

          N_a is the Avogadro's number with a value N_a  = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol

         Z  is the molar mass of copper with a value  Z =  63.55 \ g/mol

So

     n  =  \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}

     n  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  atoms /m^3

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is  

         N  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  electrons

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

         I  =  N * e * v * A

substituting values

        20 =  8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v *  5.261 *10^{-6}

=>     v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

In free fall, the ___________ of velocity of the object changes
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Hence, in free fall, the magnitude and direction of velocity of the object changes.

if a sine wave representing ac voltage has an effective value of 70 vac what would be the waves peak value​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

99 V

Explanation:

The effective voltage of an AC current (also called rms voltage) is given by

V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}

where

Vrms is the rms voltage

V0 is the peak voltage

In this problem, we know the effective voltage:

V_{rms} = 70 V

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the peak voltage:

V_0 = V_{rms} \sqrt{2} =(70 V)(\sqrt{2})=99 V
