What's a diode..??? How does it act as a rectifier??

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

Answer:

23.67 km / hr

Explanation:

car travels 355 km (d)

duration = 15 hrs (t)

average speed formula = v = d / t

v = 355 km / 15 hr

v = 23.67 km / hr

In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. the dish is on a shelf above the poi

Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

$v_x = v cos60$

$v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s$

$v_y = vsin60$

$v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s$

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

$t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}$

$t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}$

$t = 0.656 s$

now in order to find the height

$h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2$

$h = 1.52 m$

so it is placed at 1.52 m height
