'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative. The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'. If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try to go <em>down</em> from zero. You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.

When 23Na is bombarded with protons, the products are 20Ne and A. a neutron B. an alpha particle C. a deuteron D. a gamma ray pa

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. an alpha particle.

Explanation:

When ²³Na is bombarded with protons $_{1}^{1}\textrm{H}$ , ²⁰Ne and one alpha particle $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$ is released.

The reaction is as follows:

$_{11}^{23}\textrm{Na} + _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} \rightarrow _{10}^{20}\textrm{Ne} + _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}$

Therefore, an alpha particle and ²⁰Ne are released when ²³Na is bombarded with protons.

If a person whirls an object horizontally in a counter clockwise direction and the string breaks at point P as shown, what path

Nata [24]

when an object is revolving in circular path then its velocity is always along the tangent of the circular path

so while moving in circular path if the string is break then due to law of inertia the object will always move in the direction of initial motion

As we know that as per law of inertia if an object will not change its state of motion or state of rest until some external force will act on it.

So here also the object will move along its tangential direction once the string will break

so here the correct path will be

Option B

Without Newton’s third law of motion, what would an object sitting on a table do?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
