C . plate a is negatively charged and plate b is positively charged
Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86
Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.
So, we have
MA = load/effort
= 240N/129N
= 1.86.
The initial kinetic energy of the car is

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half:

so, the new kinetic energy is

So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
Answer:
Explanation:
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), a process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power supplies and as amplitude modulation detectors (envelope detectors) of radio signals. Rectifiers are most commonly made using solid state diodes but other type of components can be used when very high voltages or currents are involved. When only a single diode is used to rectify AC (by blocking the negative or positive portion of the waveform), the difference between the term diode and the term rectifier is simply one of usage. The term rectifier describes a diode that is being used to convert AC to DC. Most rectifier circuits contain a number of diodes in a specific arrangement to more efficiently convert AC power to DC power than is possible with only a single diode.
