Isn't it "gravity" this would makes sense because grvaity difines weight

The "weight" of any object IS the force of <em>gravity</em> between the object and the Earth.

The force is always directed "down", because it's always directed toward the center of the Earth, and we call that direction "down" even though it's a different direction in every place.

How long must a 0.70-mm-diameter aluminum wire be to have a 0.40 a current when connected to the terminals of a 1.5 v flashlight

Natalka [10]

By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
$R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega$

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
$r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
So the area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$

And by using the resistivity of the Aluminum, $\rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ , we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
to find L, the length of the wire:
$L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m$

A van de Graaff generator accelerates electrons so that they have energies equivalent to that attained by falling through a pote

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete hence I will give you a general answer on how A van de Graaff generator works

answer :

If the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of 150MeV

Explanation:

when a Van de Graff generator is used to accelerate an electron through a PD ( potential difference ) of any value the particle ( electron ) the electron will gain energy ( eV ) which is is equivalent in value of the PD it accelerated through

hence if the electrons falls through a PD of 150mV the electron will gain energy of 150MeV

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?

Alex787 [66]

Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
