Two analogies: 
1. The wires are like hoses full of water. As soon as you turn on the water, water is pushed out the end of the hose. 
2. Although the electrons only move at 1mm/s, the electomagnetic pulse travels through the circuit at near speed of light (varies btw .1c to .9c). It is this pulse that provides the pressure to push the electrons out the end of the wire into the light

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of \dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
