If the primary wire's power is 10 A and one branch's power is 4 A, another branch's power will be 6A.

According to Kirchhoff's current law (KCL), the total current flowing through a parallel route circuit's junction equals the total current flowing away from it.

Provided that one of the two branches through which power exits the intersection has a flow of 4A, and also that the junction's overall flow entering it is 10A, the entire current going the junction should be 10A.

Consequently, the second wire's power may be expressed as;

I = I1+ I2 [ where I= total current (10A);

                I1= current in one branch (4A) &

                I2= current in another branch]

⇒I2 = I - I1

⇒I2 = 10A - 4A

⇒I2 = 6A

Therefore, it can be concluded that when the primary wire bears 10A power having 4A in one of its branches, another branch carries 6A power.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. what maximum height does she
Mumz [18]
<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>

klemol [59]

Answer:

it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Explanation:

The definition of electric current is

         I = dQ / dt

By convention the direction of the current is the direction in which a positive charge flows.

The initial expression is the derivative that is the change of the load in the unit of time and this occurs in a given cross-sectional cable.

The proposed definition is the same as this, so it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Will give brainliest if they answer is correct ​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

When a motorcycle takes a turn, centrifugal force—in this case, friction between the tires and the road—pushes it towards the center. This basic physics explains why riders can lean into turns without falling. However, when an outside force disrupts or unbalances these forces, the vehicle crashes. that is the only one that I can answer for you. :)
