Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Direct current is a current which flows in one direction, that is, flow of electrons is only in one direction.

Whereas alternate current is a current which reverses periodically, that is, there will be change in direction of electrons after a period of time.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, In DC, electrons move in only one direction. In AC, electrons move in one direction and then in the other direction defines AC and DC correctly.

The specific heat of copper is 0.39 j/g*degrees celcius how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 1000.0 g of copper f
lapo4ka [179]
In order to calculate the amount of energy needed, we will apply:
heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
Q = mcΔT

Substituting the given values,
Q = 1000 x 0.39 x (45 - 25)
Q = 7,800 Joules of heat energy are needed

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)

An experimentalist fires a beam of electrons, creating a visible path in the air that can be measured. The beam is fired along a
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:  

Velocity of the electron in the beam.

Radius of the circulating electrons due to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

We have a Mathematical expression for the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field as:

F=q.v.B.sin \theta ...........................(1)

where:

q= charge on the particle in coulomb

v= velocity of the charge projected into the magnetic field

B= intensity of the magnetic field in tesla

\theta= angle between the velocity and direction of magnetic field

For the forces on rotating mass we have the formula:

F=m.\frac{v^2}{r}..........................................(2)

where:

m= mass of the charged particle

v= velocity of projection of charge into the magnetic field

r= radius of the path traced  by the charge in the magnetic field

From eq. (1) and (2) we can calculate the magnetic field .

Now,

Using Ampere's Law we have:

B = \frac{\mu_0 .I}{2 \pi r}

where:

I= current in the wire

\mu_0= The permeability of free space.

r= radial distance from the current carrying wire( in this case it is same as the radius of the circular path)

A car traveling at 38 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?
asambeis [7]

a=v/t

a=38/10

a=-3.8 m/s^2

You put the negative in front of 3.8 because it decelerated.

Hope it helps and is correct :)

A 3-kilogram ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 10 m/sec. What is the ball's change in momentum?
valentina_108 [34]
Change in Momentum =  mv - mu.

u = 0, v = 10 m/s.  Note ball accelerated from rest, so initial velocity = 0. u =0

Change in Momentum =  mv - mu = 3*10 - 3*0 =30.

Change in Momentum = 30 kgm/s.
