Mashutka [201]3 years ago
6 0
A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction.

A rectifier is a device that converts an Alternating Current (AC) into a Direct Current (DC) by using one or more contact diodes. ... In simple words, a diode allows current in just one direction. This unique property of the diode allows it to act sort of a rectifier by converting an alternating current to a DC source

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Force exerted by car on truck will be 6000 N in opposite direction

Explanation:

It is given that mass of the car is one quarter of the mass of the truck

Force exerted by the truck on the car is 6000 N

We have to find the force exerted by car on the truck

According to newtons third law for any action there is equal and opposite reaction

So force exerted by car on the truck will be equal to 6000 N in opposite direction
