To calculate the output DC voltage of a full-wave rectifier, follow these steps:

1. Convert RMS to Peak Voltage:
   The peak voltage (V_peak) is related to the RMS voltage (V_RMS) by the formula:
   V_peak = V_RMS × √2
   Given V_RMS = 12 V:
   V_peak = 12 × √2 ≈ 12 × 1.414 ≈ 16.97 V
2. Subtract Diode Voltage Drops:
   In a full-wave rectifier, two diodes conduct during each half-cycle, so the total voltage drop is approximately 1.4 V (assuming 0.7 V per diode).
   V_DC = V_peak – 1.4 ≈ 16.97 – 1.4 ≈ 15.57 V

Final Answer:

The output DC voltage is approximately 15.57 V.

Solution: According to Newton’s Second Law, the acceleration (a) is given by:

F = m * a

Where:

Now, apply Newton’s Second Law:

a = F_net / m = 10 N / 5 kg = 2 m/s²
