Answer:

C. It is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electric field.

Explanation:

The voltage, also known as voltage or potential difference is a physical quantity that drives electrons along a conductor in a closed electrical circuit, causing the flow of an electric current.

The potential difference is also defined as the work per unit of charge exerted by the electric field, on a charged particle, to move it from one place to another. It can be measured with a voltmeter.

In the International System of Units, the potential difference is measured in Volts (V), as is the Potential.

What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping? express your answer using two significant figures

Montano1993 [528]

To prevent the crate from slipping, the maximum force that the belt can exert on the crate must be equal to the static friction force.

Ff = 0.5 * 16 * 9.8 = 78.4 N

a = 4.9 m/s^2

If acceleration of the belt exceeds the value determined in the previous question, what is the acceleration of the crate?

In this situation, the kinetic friction force is causing the crate to decelerate. So the net force on the crate is 78.4 N minus the kinetic friction force.

Ff = 0.28 * 16 * 9.8 = 43.904 N

Net force = 78.4 – 43.904 = 34.496 N

To determine the acceleration, divide by the mass of the crate.

a = 34.496 ÷ 16 = 2.156 m/s^2

A light ray moving at a 54.3 deg

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$45.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}$

A rocket of mass 1000kg uses 5kg of fuel and oxygen to produce exhaust gases ejected at 500m/s calculate the increase its veloci

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Approximately $\rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Let the increase in the rocket's velocity be $\Delta v$ . Let $v_0$ represent the initial velocity of the rocket. Note that for this question, the exact value of $v_0$ doesn't really matter.

The momentum of an object is equal to its mass times its velocity.

Mass of the rocket with the 5 kg of fuel: $1000$ .
Initial velocity of the rocket and the fuel: $v_0$ .
Hence the initial momentum of the rocket: $1000\,v_0$ .

Mass of the rocket without that 5 kg of fuel: $1000 - 5 = 995$ .
Final velocity of the rocket: $v_0 + \Delta v$ .
Hence the final momentum of the rocket: $995\,(v_0 + \Delta v)$ .

Mass of the 5 kg of fuel: $5$ .
Final velocity of the fuel: $v_0 - 500$ (assuming that the the 500 m/s in the question takes the rocket as its reference.)
Hence the final momentum of the fuel: $5\,(v_0 - 500)$ .
