Matter is a thing. ex: paper. notice how paper can be written on. notice how it is ...well, THERE. now notice light. the light is not atoms. it is electricity that does weird stuff to create a big enough source of energy to be a source of light. sorta like fireflies

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

300 m/s

Explanation:

The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.

Thus;

t2 - t1 = 1

We know that distance/time = speed.

Thus;

d2/v - d1/v = 1

Multiply through by v to get;

d2 - d1 = v

Where v is speed of sound in air.

d1 = 350 m

d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m

Thus;

v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s

a_sh-v [17]
I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.

Consider a system of two particles: ball A with a mass m is moving to the right a speed 2v and ball B with a mass 3m is moving t
arlik [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

System of two particle

Ball A has mass

Ma = m

Ball A is moving to the right (positive x axis) with velocity of

Va = 2v •i

Ball B has a mass

Mb = 3m

Ball B is moving to left (negative x axis) with a velocity of

Vb = -v •i

Velocity of centre of mass Vcm?

Velocity of centre of mass can be calculated using

Vcm = 1/M ΣMi•Vi

Where M is sum of mass

M = M1 + M2 + M3 +...

Therefore,

Vcm=[1/(Ma + Mb)] × (Ma•Va +Mb•Vb

Rearranging for better understanding

Vcm = (Ma•Va + Mb•Vb) / ( Ma + Mb)

Vcm = (m•2v + 3m•-v) / (m + 3m)

Vcm = (2mv — 3mv) / 4m

Vcm = —mv / 4m

Vcm = —v / 4

Vcm = —¼V •i

Can anyone help me on question 13
Leona [35]

Given that in a parallel circuit:

R1 = 12 ohms

R2= 15 ohms

I = 12 A

I2 = 4 A

V=?

R=?

R3 =?

P=?

Since,

V= IR

or,

V2 = I2 * R2

V2= 4* 15

V2 = 60V

Since in a parallel circuit voltage remain same in all component of the circuit and is equal to the source voltage.

Therefore,

V= V1 = V2 = V3 = 60V

Since,

V= IR

R= V/I

R= 60/12

R= 5 ohm

That is total resistance is equal to 5 ohms.

Since for parallel circuit,

1/R= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/5= 1/12+ 1/15 + 1/R3

or

1/R3= 1/5- 1/12- 1/15

1/R3= 1/20

or

R3= 20 ohms

Since,

V=IR

I= V/R

I1= V1/ R1

I1= 60/12

I1= 5 A

I3= V3/R3

I3= 60/20

I3= 3A

Since,

P=VI

P= 60*12

P=  720 watt

P1= V1* I1

P1= 60* 5

P1= 300 watt

P2= V2* I2

P2= 60* 4

P2= 240watt

P3= V3*I3

P3= 60*3

P3= 180 watt

Hence we have,

R1= 12 ohms , R2= 15 ohms, R3= 20 ohms, R= 5 ohms

I1= 5A, I2= 4A, I3= 3A, I= 12 A

V1= V2= V3= V= 60V

P1= 300 watt, P2= 240 watt, P3 = 180 watt, P= 720 watt
