Answer:
C. D.C.
Explanation:
The current that is being described here is D.C. or direct current. It is the D.C. that moves in one direction from negative to positive. May be created by a battery. It is different from the A.C.( alternating current whose polarity changes regularly). It is A.C. that is used in electrical outlets and not D.C.So, the current option is C.
Answer:
A) Air resistance acts in a direction opposite the the fall of an object reducing it by doing work against the weight of the object due to gravity.
B) using a ping pong ball, the time of fall will be greatly reduced since it has little weight (its mass x acceleration due to gravity) against the air resistance. The net downward force of the weight and the air resistance will be small.
C) No, I wouldn't expect them to fall at the same time. The steel ball will have more weight compared to the ping pong ball and hence it will have a larger net force downwards.
D) If they are both released from a 6 m height, the steel ball will fall to the ground first since it has a larger net force downwards.
Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
Answer:
Electromagnetic waves
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, that oscillate perpendicularly to each other and perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave (for such a reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).
Electromagnetic waves always travel in a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
and they are classified into 7 different types, according to their frequency. From lowest to highest frequency, we have:
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays
Therefore, gamma rays, x-rays, visible light and radio waves are all types of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies.
Answer:
For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain time?
Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?
Hence,
By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

How do you know the Displacement at a certain time?
Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.
