Answer: DC Current

Explanation:

Battery is a source of constant potential difference and it will create a constant voltage across any conductor

due to this constant voltage difference the current in this conductor will remain constant

So here since the voltage across the conductor is constant so we can say that current in the conductor will remain constant and hence this is known as DC current.

While for variable current in direction and magnitude is to be obtained only when the conductor is connected with AC voltage source as we know that AC voltage is variable with magnitude and direction both

A battery is the power source for DC type of current. A battery is a source of constant potential difference that produces a constant current unlike in AC source where the voltage and hence the current changes its polarity continuously.Hence, the current produced by battery is direct current and not Alternating current.

Hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!! :D

You should check your battery ___________.

podryga [215]

One should check the battery every week.

A battery if not maintained properly can cause it to die earlier or get damaged. The reasons why should the battery be checked regularly is that due to improper management of the battery and also the weather conditions, the battery usually gets corroded easily and the battery won't be able to work properly.

The connections must be checked properly so that the battery gets charged properly and should not die while driving.

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have $N_s > N_p$ , so that $V_s > V_p$ , which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have $N_s < N_p$ , so that $V_s < V_p$ , which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

$E_e = E_k$

$kx^2/2 = mv^2/2$

$120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2$

$15 = 0.75v^2$

$v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20$

$v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s$

A man pushes a stalled car with a force of 100 N. If the acceleration of the car is 0.75 m/s 2 , what is the mass of the car?

shutvik [7]

125 because f=ma so you would use 100=mx0.75

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module f

Usimov [2.4K]

Complete question:

In the movie The Martian, astronauts travel to Mars in a spaceship called Hermes. This ship has a ring module that rotates around the ship to create “artificial gravity” within the module. Astronauts standing inside the ring module on the outer rim feel like they are standing on the surface of the Earth. (The trailer for this movie shows Hermes at t=2:19 and demonstrates the “artificial gravity” concept between t= 2:19 and t=2:24.)

Analyzing a still frame from the trailer and using the height of the actress to set the scale, you determine that the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module is 11.60 m

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth?

Answer:

The rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module r, = 11.60 m

When the astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth, then their centripetal acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity of Earth.

Centripetal acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r

But v = ωr

a = g = ω²r

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{11.6} } = 0.92 \ rad/s$

Therefore, the rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s
