The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football

Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum of the football

$\Delta t=0.25 s$ is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N$

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Let m = mass of cannon Then 10000 = ma a = 10000/m v^2 = u^2 + 2as v^2 = 0 + 2as 84^2 = 2(2.21)(10000/m) 84^2 m = 4.42(10000) m = 6.264172336 = 6.26 kg Part 2 Range = u^2sin(2x38)/g = 84^2sin(76)/9.8 = 698.6129229 = 698.6 m

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. 

Explanation:

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration is $1m/s^2$ and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

 $a=1 m/s^2$ 

t=50 s 

initial speed u=72km/h 

we have to convert this speed into m/s 

 $u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s$ 

Distance covered in accelerating phase $S=ut+1/2 at^2$ 

 $=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2$ 

 $=1000+1250=2250 m$ 

If a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

Here length of train A+length of train $B=400+400=800 m$ 

Hence the initial distance between the trains = $2250-800=1450 m$

How much time would it take for an airplane to reach its destination if it traveled at an average velocity of 820 km/hr NE for a

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Time, t = 6.34 hours.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

Therefore, making time the subject of formula;

$Time = \frac{displacement}{velocity}$

Given the following data;

Displacement = 5200km

Average velocity = 820km/hr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Time = \frac{5200}{820}$

Time = 6.34 hours.

Hence, it would take 6.34 hours for the airplane to reach its destination.
