Answer;

the potential difference

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field

Explanation;

An electric current results from the collective movement of free charges under the effect of an electric field. An electric field exists and can be observed in the space around a single charge or a number of charges.

Electric fields cause charges to move. It stands to reason that an electric field applied to some material will cause currents to flow in that material. In other words, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field. The constant of proportionality σ is called the material’s conductivity.

4. Johnny exerts a 3.55 N rightward force on a 0.200-kg box to accelerate it across a low-friction track. If the total resistanc

Anon25 [30]

a) $15.2 m/s^2$

b) 1.96 N

c) 1.96 N

Explanation:

To find the box's acceleration, we have to find first the net force acting on the box in the horizontal direction.

We have:

- The forward force of 3.55 N

- The backward, resistive force of 0.52 N

So, the net force forward is

$\sum F=3.55-0.52=3.03 N$

Now we can find the acceleration by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

$\sum F=ma$

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

And solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{3.03}{0.200}=15.2 m/s^2$

The gravitational force on an object is the force with which the object is pulled towards the ground by the Earth.

It is given by

$W=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational field strength

In this problem we have

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the gravitational field strength

So, the gravitational force on the box is

$W=(0.200)(9.8)=1.96 N$

The normal force is the reaction force exerted by the floor on the box, in the upward direction.

In order to find the magnitude of this force, we apply Newton's second law of motion along the vertical direction.

We have two forces in this direction:

- The gravitational force, W, downward

- The normal force, N, upward

So the net force is

$\sum F=N-W$

According to Newton's second law,

$\sum F=ma$

However, the box is at rest in the vertical direction, so the vertical acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

This means that the net force is zero:

$\sum F=0$

And so, we can find the normal force:

$N-W=0\\N=W=1.96 N$

A flashlight beam strikes the surface of a pane of glass (n=1.56) at a 71° angle to the normal. What is the angle of refraction?

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The angle of refraction is 37°.

Explanation:

let n1 be the refractive index of glass and n2 = 1.0 be the refraction index of air, θ be the angle of incidence , ∅ be the angle of refraction.

then, according to Snell's law:

n1×sin(∅) = n2×sin(θ)

sin(∅) = n2×sin(θ)/n1

= (1.0)(sin(71°))/(1.56)

= 0.606101651

∅ = 37°

Therefore, the angle of refraction is 37°.

Yvette hangs a 2.4kg bird feeder in the middle of a rope tied between two trees, the feeder creates a

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a) 0.049 m

b) Yes, increase

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.

In the y direction, there are three forces acting on the feeder. Two vertical components of the tension forces in each rope pulling up, and weight force pulling down.

Apply Newton's second law to the feeder in the y direction.

∑F = ma

2Ty − mg = 0

Ty = mg/2

Let's say the distance the rope sags is d. The trees are 4m apart, so the feeder is 2m horizontally from either tree. Using Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the rope on either side:

L² = 2² + d²

L = √(4 + d²)

Using similar triangles, we can write a proportion using the forces and distances.

Ty / T = d / L

Substitute:

(mg/2) / T = d / √(4 + d²)

Solve for d:

Td = mg/2 √(4 + d²)

T² d² = (mg/2)² (4 + d²)

T² d² = (mg)² + (mg/2)² d²

(T² − (mg/2)²) d² = (mg)²

d² = (mg)² / (T² − (mg/2)²)

d = mg / √(T² − (mg/2)²)

Given m = 2.4 kg and T = 480 N:

d = (2.4) (9.8) / √(480² − (2.4×9.8/2)²)

d = 0.049 m

b) If a bird lands on a feeder, this will increase the tension in the rope to support the bird's weight.

5. How are electromagnetic waves similar to ocean waves?.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves have crests and troughs similar to those of ocean waves. The distance between crests is the wavelength. The shortest wavelengths are just fractions of the size of an atom, while the longest wavelengths scientists currently study can be larger than the diameter of our planet!

Explanation of the physics involved i the northern lights(aurora borealis) why can't it occur in mire southerns latitudes?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The northern lights come from the interaction of electrically charged particles given off by the Sun surface during solar storms and the Earth's magnetic field which is pointed in the northern to southern poles of the Earth. Therefore, the charged particles that travel through millions of miles from the Sun to the Earth accelerate towards the magnetic poles and appear as the northern (and southern) lights

Boreal is an adjective word for the north or northern regions. In the southern latitudes, in the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called aurora australis (australis is the adjective for 'of the south')
