Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

what is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50kg and hits the catcher’s glove with a force of 25 N

Kitty [74]

Answer:

mass=0.50kg

force=25N

acceleration =?

Now,

force=m×a

25=0.50×a

25÷0.50=a

50=a

acceleration =50m/s^2 answer!!!!

hope this may help you!!!!

Which of the following is equal to Velocity change per second

Mademuasel [1]

Acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration is a physical quantity that expresses the change in the velocity of a body per unit of time.

Acceleration = $\frac{V - U }{T}$

V is the initial velocity

U is the final velocity

T is the time

It is has a unit of m/s²

You have two resistors with the same cross sectional area and resistivity. Resistor A has length L1 and resistor B has length L2

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Resistor A has length $L_1$

and Resistor B has Length $L_2$

and Resistance is given by

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

Considering $\rho$ and A to be constant thus

$R_2>R_1$ because $L_2>L_1$

(a)When they are connected in series

As the current in series is same and power is $i^2R$

therefore $P_2>P_1$ as R is greater for second resistor

(b)if they are connected in Parallel

In Parallel connection Voltage is same

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

resistance of 2 is greater than 1 thus Power delivered by 1 is greater than 2

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule

The thumb represent force

The index finger represent velocity

The middle finger represent field

An astronaut who is repairing the outside of her spaceship accidentally pushes away a 92.9 cm long steel rod, which flies off at

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts

Explanation:

The emf induced in the rod is the motional emf due to the magnetic field. This motional emf can be calculated by the following formula:

$EMF = V = vBl Sin\theta$

where,

V = Motional EMF = ?

v = speed of rod = 12.5 m/s

B = Magnetic Field = 6.23 mT = 0.00623 T

l = Length of rod = 92.9 cm = 0.929 m

θ = angle between v and B = 90°

Therefore,

$V = (12.5\ m/s)(0.00623\ T)(0.929\ m)Sin\ 90^o\\$

<u>V = 0.0723 volts = 72.3 milivolts</u>
