Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit

1 answer:

3 0

Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.

Nuclear waste disposal is one of the largest issues with nuclear power. Cesium-137 is one of the high level waste products in an

vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510 requires about 9 half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

What is the period of a simple pendulum 47 cm long (a) on the Earth, and ( b) when it is in a freely falling elevator?

Liula [17]

Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

$T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}$

Here

$g_{eff}= g$

Now by putting the values

$T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}$

T=1.37 s

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

$g_{eff}= 0$ ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

$T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}$

T=∞ (Infinite)

A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the block m = 200.0 g = 200 × 10⁻³ kg

the horizontal spring constant k = 4500.0 N/m

position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m

To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.

i.e $\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
