Which statement accurately describes current electricity?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles.

Explanation:

Current electricity is caused by flowing negatively charged particles. The negatively charged particles that are responsible for the flow of electricity are called electrons.

The force is equal at all points in the field as the field lines are parallel in a uniform field. So, negatively charged particles will move in the opposite direction to the current.

Hence, the correct answer is "C. It is caused by flowing negatively charged particles."

On Venus, the acceleration due to gravity is 8.87 m / s 2 . How far would a 17 g rock fall from rest in 6.5 s if the only force
algol [13]

Answer:

187.38 m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2gt²...................... Equation 1

Where s = distance of fall, u = initial velocity of the rock, t = time taken for the rock to fall from rest, g = acceleration due to gravity of venus.

Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), t = 6.5 s, g = 8.87 m/s².

substituting into equation 1

s = 0(6.5) + 1/2(8.87)(6.5)²

s = 0 + 374.7575/2

s = 187.38 m.

Hence the rock will fall 187.38 m

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.
meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

\Delta p=m\times \Delta v

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of  an object.

J=F\times \Delta t

Proof :

J=F\times \Delta t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times \Delta t\\\\J=m\times (a\times \Delta t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.
