Answer:

Answer to the question is:

Explanation:

Direct Current:

It is that current where electrons circulate in the same amount and sense in time, that is, flowing in the same direction. Its polarity is invariable and causes a current of relatively constant amplitude to flow through a load. This type of current is known as direct current (DC), and is generated by a battery.

the current of electrons will leave the negative terminal of the battery, (because they repel each other and also repel free electrons in the copper conductor), and go to the positive terminal where there is a lack of electrons, passing through the circuit to which it is connected. In this way the electric current is produced.

A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the rig

FinnZ [79.3K]

Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.5 N accelerates at 6.2 m/s’ to the right. What is the mass of the ball? Answer in units

stepladder [879]

Answer:

m = 2.01[kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F =m*a$

where:

F = force = 12.5 [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]

$12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]$

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this p

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given a proton is placed in an electric field of intensity of 700 N/C

So electric field E = 700 N/C

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on proton $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So electric force on the proton $F=qE=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 700=1.120\times 10^{-16}N$

This force will be equal to force due to acceleration of the proton

According to newton's law force is given by F = ma

So $1.67\times 10^{-27}\times a=1.120\times 10^{-16}$

$a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

So acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

A current of 12 amps is measured in a circuit with a total resistance of 9.0 ohms. What is the size of the voltage source that s

Serjik [45]

Data:
i (current) = 12 A
R (resistance) = 9.0 Ω
V (voltage) = ? (volts)

Formula:
$V = R*i$

Solving:
$V = R*i$
$V = 9.0*12$
$\boxed{\boxed{V = 108\:volts}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
