In alternating current, how often does the current alternate between negatively and postively?

2 answers:

4 0

In an alternating current (AC) circuit the two poles alternate between negative and positive and the direction of the current (electron flow) reverses periodically.

gregori [183]

Answer:

(a) T = W/2(1-tanθ) (b) 39.81°

Explanation:

(a) The equation for tension (T) can be derived by considering the summation of moment in the clockwise direction. Thus:

Summation of moment in clockwise direction is equivalent to zero. Therefore,

T*l*(sinθ) + W*(l/2)*cosθ - T*l*cosθ = 0

T*l*(cosθ - sinθ) = W*(l/2)*cosθ

T = W*cosθ/2(cosθ - sinθ)

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by cosθ, we have:

T = [W*cosθ/cosθ]/2[(cosθ - sinθ)/cosθ] = W/2(1-tanθ)

(b) If T = 3W, then:

3W = W/2(1-tanθ),

Further simplification and rearrangement lead to:

1 - tanθ = 1/6

tanθ = 1 - (1/6) = 5/6

θ = tan^(-1) 5/6 = 39.81°

A cylindrical brass rod has a length of 5.00cm extending from a holder and a diameter of 4.50mm. Its Young's modulus is 98.0GPa.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Explanation:

given data

length = 5 cm = 50 mm

diameter = 4.50 mm

Young's modulus = 98.0 GPa

load = 610 N

to find out

what will be the elongation of the brass rod in mm

solution

we know here change in length formula that is express as

δ = $\frac{PL}{AE}$ ................1

here δ is change in length and P is applied load and A id cross section area and E is Young's modulus and L is length

so all value in equation 1

δ = $\frac{PL}{AE}$

δ = $\frac{610*50}{\frac{\pi}{4} * 4.50^2 * 98*10^3}$

δ = 0.01956 mm

so elongation of the brass rod is 0.01956 mm

Comparison of density values determines whether an item will float or sink in water. For each of the values below, determine the

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

a) the object floats

b) the object floats

c) the object sinks

Explanation:

when an object is less dense than in the fluid in which it is immersed, it will float due to its weight and volume characteristics, so to solve this problem we must find the mass and volume of each object in order to calculate the density and compare it with that of water

volumen for a cube

V=L^3

L=1.53in=0.0388m

V=0.0388 ^3=5.8691x10^-5m^3=58.69ml

density=m/v

density=13.5g/58.69ml=0.23 g/ml

The wooden block floats because it is less dense than water

m=111mg=0.111g

density=m/v

density=0.111g/0.296ml=0.375g/ml

the metal paperclip floats because it is less dense than water

V=0.93cups=220.0271ml

m=0.88lb=399.1613g

Density=m/v

density=399.1613/220.027ml=1.8141g/ml

the apple sinks because it is denser than water
