<span>When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves from one end of the other end. When an electric field is applied to a conductor (a wire) the free electrons of the conductor are subject to an electric force which will cause the electrons to move. Given that the electrons are negatively charged they will move counter-wise the field.. Each end of the wire is attached to one pole or end of a battery (or generator of electricity) then the electrons will move form the end joined to the negative pole toward the end attached to positive pole.</span><span />

Describe the kinetic molecular theory
tatuchka [14]
The kinetic theory of gases is a simple, historically significant model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion

If you were in a spaceship watching a ball hover at rest (inside the spaceship) in mid-air, and the spaceship suddenly began rap
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It will still hover until the spaceship "hits" or exerts a force on it.

Explanation:

Remember, if there is no net force, there is no acceleration or movement.

In this case, our ball is hovering in the spaceship, and in space, we can assume there is no F_g, and we can assume there is no F_N, nor no forces acting against it.

So, the ball would not move.

However, once the spaceship starts accelerating, the ball would still hover until the spaceship exerts a force on it.

This is because of the same thing as explained above, no forces acting on it, therefore, no acceleration.

Think about it this way.

Imagine you jumped up, then someone threw a ball at you. Now let's imagine you can't move until you hit the floor, meaning that in an ideal situation only  F_g is acting on you. Now again, let's imagine time slows really down for you, but not the ball. Before the ball comes and hits you, you are "hovering" like a ball. But after the ball hits you, you move a little because the ball exerted a force on you.

If you did not understand what I meant above, just forget about it, and think about the fact that if there is a Net force (all the force values added up), then there is acceleration and movement.

Which represents the net force
ipn [44]

Answer:

The net force is 500N downwards

Explanation:

When Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.  

Fp = 5500N

Fg = 6000N

because the force of gravity is more than the force of the pull.

Fnet = Fg - Fp = 6000N - 5500N = 500N

And, the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the larger force.
