An electrical current is caused by flow of free electrons from one atom to another.

My answer -

Electrical pressure, called "electro-motive force" (EMF), is what causes current to flow in an electrical circuit. EMF is measured in volts. Pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to pressure and quantity of water flowing in pipes: the longer the distance, the higher is the flow of water (called the "flow of electrical charge, which is also known as the "electric current"). That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage for electricity) is required, failing which, the current - and therefore the power - will not reach the intended destination. Instead, it will be lost (also called "dissipate") along the way. We can think of electrical
current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline
 cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required. 

P.S

Happy to help you have an AWESOME!!! day ^-^

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation $x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ . We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration). Solve for x.

$x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km$

If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radia

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 7700 rpm. when the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

Tpy6a [65]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

For this fan, speed at the end = 7700 rpm, speed at the end = 0 .

Change in angular speed = -7700 rpm

Angular acceleration = (-7700 rpm) / (2.5 sec)

Angular acceleration = -3,080 rev per minute / sec

That's a perfectly good and true answer to the question, but the units are ugly. We really need to fix the units, and convert them into something prettier before we hand in this assignment.

1 rev = 2π radians, and

1 minute = 60 seconds .

Angular acceleration =

(-3,080 rev/min-sec) · (2π rad/rev) · (1 min/60 sec)

AngAccel = (-3,080 · 2π · 1 / 60) · (rev·rad·min / min·sec·rev·sec)

AngAccel = ( -102 and 2/3 · π) · (rad/s²)

AngAccel = -322.5 radian/s²
