Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples

1 answer:

3 0

Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) $F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

b) $a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of raindrops, $m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

charge on the raindrops, $q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C$

horizontal distance between the raindrops, $r=0.0044\ m$

From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

we have:

$\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}$

Now force:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}$

$F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

You go to the hardware store to buy a new 50 ft garden hose. You find you can choose between hoses of ½ inch and 5/8 inch inner

omeli [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider two concepts. The first of these is the flow rate that can be defined as the volumetric quantity that a channel travels in a given time. The flow rate can also be calculated from the Area and speed, that is,

Q = V*A

Where,

A= Cross-sectional Area

V = Velocity

The second concept related to the calculation of this problem is continuity, which is defined as the proportion that exists between the input channel and the output channel. It is understood as well as the geometric section of entry and exit, defined as,

$Q_1 = Q_2$

$V_1A_1=V_2A_2$

Our values are given as,

$A_1=\frac{1}{2}^2*\pi=0.785 in^2$

$A_2=\frac{5}{8}^2*\pi=1.227 in^2$

Re-arrange the equation to find the first ratio of rates we have:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{A_2}{A_1}$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.227}{0.785}$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=1.56$

The second ratio of rates is

$\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{A_1}{A2}$

$\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{0.785}{1.227}$

$\frac{V2}{V1}=0.640$

For questions A, B, C, and D. Determine if the Kinetic Energy will increase, decrease or stay the same based on the directions o

yuradex [85]

Explanation:

KE = 1/2*m*v^2

mass won't change

but velocity is

A: the force is pushing against the direction of the object, so velocity is decreasing, so KE is decreasing

B: the F net line is pretty much straight up, which means there is no net force pushing to the left, but velocity is still increasing

Why? Because if you use the pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is always longer than the legs.

Note: velocity only ever stays the same if there is no net force (or 0 acceleration), so all four of these are either decreasing or increasing

C: there is a net force to the right, so velocity is increasing

D: There is a net force to the right but velocity is to the left, so velocity is decreasing

Hope I got these right

Which statements are part of the safety protocol for this lab experiment? Check all that apply.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Always wear safety goggles when performing an experiment.

Use caution when dropping objects and/or launching them into the air.

Use only the materials that your teacher provides or approves.

Check the soda bottle and its cap for cracks and chips prior to use.

Report all accidents—no matter how big or small—to your teacher.

Which explains how the Coriolis effect causes air circulation?

stira [4]

The Coriolis effect causes air circulation when Air from the equator moves toward the poles slower than the ground below it, so friction causes the air to veer east. In contrast, air from the poles moves toward the equator faster than the ground below it, so friction causes it to veer to the west. The answer is letter A
