Explain how a battery in a circuit is similar to a water pump.

Physics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A battery creates a potential difference, or voltage, which is really just storing electrical potential energy just as a pump would by moving water up against gravity, thereby storing gravitational potential energy. To complete the analogy, as current flows through the circuit, this potential energy is released and can be used by the components in the circuit. This is the same as water falling back down and turning some wheel or turbine and converting its gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy.</span>

Which of the following BEST explains why stability is an important skill for athletes?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer;

B. Without good stability, athletes are too clumsy to perform well.

Explanation;

Stability refers to the resistance to both linear and angular acceleration, or resistance to disruption of equilibrium.

Developing and enhancing core strength and stability helps athletes to maximize their power output and enhance game day performance. Additionally, Improving core strength and stability can also help athletes reduce their risk of injury.

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.1
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.10013 atm

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

P'V' = PV................... Equation 1

Where P' = Initial pressure of air, V' = Initial volume of air, P = Final pressure of air, V = Final volume of air.

make P the subject of the equation

P = P'V'/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P' = 0.355 atm, V'  0.110 m³, V = 0.390 m³

Substitute into equation 2

P = 0.355(0.11)/0.39

P = 0.10013 atm.
