Since waves are moving, we define frequency as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified unit of time. The unit commonly used is Hertz which is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.

When an object with a negative charge is moved from point A to point B through an external electrical field, it gains electrical
Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

As per the problem,

           \Delta U = (V_{B} - V_{A})(-q) > 0

When q > 0 then -q is a negative charge . Since, change in potential energy (\Delta U) increases.

or,     (V_{A} - V_{B})q > 0

or,      V_{A} > V_{B}

Therefore, both positive and negative charge will move from V_{A} to V_{B} and as V_{B} < V_{A} so both of them move through a negative potential difference.

Thus, we can conclude that the true statements are as follows.

  • The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).
  • The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

A permanent magnet is pushed into a wire, left there for a while, and then pulled out. During which time does a current run thou
lakkis [162]

Answer:

C. while the magnet is moving

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction implies the production of electric current by mere movement of a magnet with respect to a coil or wire.

In the given question, current would be induced in the wire only when the magnet moves. That is either when the magnet is pushed into a wire, or when pulled out. But no current would flow through the wire when the magnet is left there for a while.

The current is induced because of the motion involved. Thus, the appropriate option is C.

I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters
