The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact".
Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.
The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
According to Newton's first law of motion, which states that a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force to change its state of rest or uniform motion. So, the Voyagers spacecraft will continue to move in the same way at the constant speed of 50,000 mph unless acted upon by a force.
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
Answer:
420J
Explanation:
Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.
Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:
Power = Energy / time
Substituting:
2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)
Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J
Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.
Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:
Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400
Energy(capacitor) = 420J
