Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

If a diver displace water with a weight of 500N what is the upthrust on the diver?

ki77a [65]

Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Natural bouyency will keep the diver in the same place, no matter what the mass of gfs. This means if the diver is displacing with a weight of 500 N, the upthrust will also be 500 N.

Transformer is used in rectifier step up and step down voltage?<br>

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

While the use of the type of transformer in a rectifier depends on the voltage requirement or to meet desired operating conditions, a step-down transformer is used mainly to reduce the voltage. It is used to bring the high AC voltage level to a reasonable value or the desired output voltage.

If 2N force is applied on 2 kg mass due east and same magnitude of force due west, thechange in velocity of the body in 2 sec is

klio [65]

Explanation:

F=m(v-u)/t

F=2N

m=2kg

t=2s

2=2(v-u)/2

cross multiply

2*2=2(v-u)

4=2(v-u)

4/2=v-u

v-u=2m/s

v-u is the change is velocity.

Two forces F1 and F2 of equal magnitude are applied to a brick of mass 20kg lying on the floor as shown in the figure above. If

jeka57 [31]

Let $F_{1}=F_{2}=F$ .

Normal force equals (using Newton's third law) $N=mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}$ .

$F_{f}\leq \mu N = \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , but $F_{f}\leq F(\cos30^o+\cos37^o)$ for all $F_{f}$ (in order to start moving the break). Therefore $F(\cos 30^o+\cos37^o)\geq \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , solving for $F$ : $F\geq \frac{\mu mg}{\cos30^o+\cos37^o-\mu\sin30^o+\mu\sin37^o}\approx 46,91\; \textbf{N}$
