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 ^-^

A horizontal insulating rod of length 11.8-cm and charge 19 nC is in a plane with a long straight vertical uniform line charge.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

11.962337 × 10^-4 N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length L = 11.8

Charge = 29nC = 29 × 10^-9 C

Linear charge density λ = 1.4 × 10^-7 C/m

Radius (r) = 2cm = 2/100 = 0.02 m

Using the relation:

E = 2kλ/r ; F =qE

F = 2kλq/L × ∫dr/r

F = 2*k*q*λ/L × (In(0.02 + L) - In(0.02))

2*k*q*λ/L = [2 × (9 * 10^9) * (29 * 10^9) * (1.4 * 10^-7)]/ 0.118] = 6193.2203 × 10^(9 - 9 - 7) = 6193.2203 × 10^-7 = 6.1932203 × 10^-4

In(0.02 + 0.118) - In(0.02) = In(0.138) - In(0.02) = 1.9315214

Hence,

(6.1932203 × 10^-4) × 1.9315214 = 11.962337 × 10^-4 N

You are in a spacecraft moving at a constant velocity. The front thruster rocket fires incorrectly, causing the craft to slow do

Alchen [17]

Answer:

It continue to move forward at a constant velocity which will be slower than before the front thruster was fired.

Explanation:

Before the front thruster was fired, the spacecraft was already moving at a particular velocity.

After the malfunction, the front thruster is fired and then the force exerted by that front thruster slows the spacecraft down, as we are told.

By using the rear thruster to exert a force equal to that from the front thrusters, a force equal in magnitude to that of the front thrusters is added, cancelling out the effect of the front thrusters. Because the spacecraft is already moving at a slower speed at this point compared to the beginning, it continues to move at that speed.

A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried down-stream by a current that flows uniformly with a speed of 2.20 m/s

zmey [24]

Answer:

The angle is 65.6°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 2.20 m/s

Distance from the shore= 500 m

Distance from the bottom= 1100 m

Speed of boat = 7.30 m/s

According to figure,

We need to calculate the angle with shore

Using formula of angle

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{500}{1100}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{500}{1100})$

$\theta=24.4^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle

$\alpha=90-\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$\alpha=90-24.4$

$\alpha=65.6^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle is 65.6°.

3. a car takes off with initial velocity of 20m/s and move with uniform acceleration of 12m/s2 for 20s. It maintained a constant

lions [1.4K]

The total distance traveled by the car at the given velocity and time is 900 m.

The given parameters:

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s
acceleration of the car, a = 12 m/s²
time of motion of the car, t = 20 s
final time = 30 s
final acceleration = 2 m/s²

The final time of motion of car before coming to rest is calculated as follows;

$v_f = v_0 -at\\\\0 = 20 - 2t\\\\t = 10 \ s$

The graph of the car's motion is in the image uploaded.

The total distance traveled by the car is calculated as follows;

$total \ distance = A \ + B \ + C\\\\total \ distance = (\frac{1 }{2} \times 20 \times 20) \ + (20 \times 30) \ + (\frac{1}{2}\times 10 \times 20)\\\\total \ distance = 900 \ m$

Thus, the total distance traveled by the car at the given velocity and time is 900 m.
