What causes an electric current in a wire?
Rina8888 [55]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. It is the electrons that  flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion causes an electric current in a wire. Electrons, which continuously move in wire, are called Electric Current. Hope this answers the question.

Sam, whose mass is 78 kg , stands at the top of a 11-m-high, 110-m-long snow-covered slope. His skis have a coefficient of kinet
Valentin [98]

Answer:

v = 8.09   m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the work done by the friction force plus the potential energy equals the change in the body's energy.

Let's calculate the energy

       

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m gh

final point. To go down the slope

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

The work of the friction force is

         W = fr L cos 180

to find the friction force let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

        N - W_y = 0

        N = W_y

X axis

        Wₓ - fr = ma

let's use trigonometry

        sin  θ = y / L

         sin θ = 11/110 = 0.1

         θ = sin⁻¹  0.1

          θ = 5.74º

         sin 5.74 = Wₓ / W

         cos 5.74 = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin 5.74

         W_y = W cos 5.74

the formula for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

Work is friction force is

         W_fr = - μ W L cos θ  

Let's use the relationship of work with energy

        W + ΔU = ΔK

         -μ mg L cos 5.74 + (mgh - 0) = 0  - ½ m v²

        v² = - 2 μ g L cos 5.74 +2 (gh)

        v² = 2gh - 2 μ gL cos 5.74

let's calculate

        v² = 2 9.8 11 - 2 0.07 9.8 110 cos 5.74

        v² = 215.6 -150.16

        v = √65.44

        v = 8.09   m/s

What does saturns core look like?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

At Saturn's center is a dense core of metals like iron and nickel surrounded by rocky material and other compounds solidified by the intense pressure and heat. It is enveloped by liquid metallic hydrogen inside a layer of liquid hydrogen—similar to Jupiter's core but considerably smaller

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib
