Resistance can be caused by specific resistance tools, like resistors, or loads (the part of the component that uses the electricity) like a light bulb or a speaker. Resistance is measured in ohms and can be measured by a multimeter.

A pirate ship shoots a cannon towards an oncoming ship. The cannon ball has a mass of 25 kg and the ship has a mass of 2500 kg.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Explanation:

Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:

m_sv_s + m_bv_b = 0

where m_s = 2500 kg, m_b = 25 kg are masses of the ship and ball respectively. v_s = 0.25 m/s, v_b are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.

2500*0.25 + 25*v_b = 0

25v_b = -2500*0.25

v_b = -2500*0.25/25 = -25 m/s

So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Which of the following would likely be the best reflector of heat energy
mr Goodwill [35]
Ok so B would be the best surface to reflect heat energy as it's polished and does not disturb the wave of energy like the others would. Also in therms of colour it's better because it's a lighter colour than navy ( the darker colour of the spectrum ). This matters as darker colours absorb light where light colour reflect it.
Hope this helps :).

Why do scientists need a standard system of measurement?
ladessa [460]
Scientists need a standard system of measurement to allow for consistency with measurement data (A). Scientists would not be able to understand what other scientists are saying if everyone uses their own system of measurement. Scientists need to take measurements, interpret them and communicate the results to other scientists. That is why a standardized system of taking measurements has been developed. The International System of Units or the Metric system is the measurement system of choice for scientists all over the world today.

A magnet attracts a piece of iron. The iron can then attract another piece of iron. On the basis of domain alignment, explain wh
raketka [301]

Answer :

The magnet produces a domain alignment that allows the iron become magnetic such that it is attracted to the original magnet.the magnetic iron can then create the same effect on another piece of iron.

Explanation:

the piece of magnet is brought closer to the iron where the domains of the iron align including the magnetic poles.
