N the particular case of motion, a reference point is a stationary point in space. You can then measure the displacement of objects in space from this point. A reference point is important in determining motion because in order to say that something is moving, you need to have something stationary to compare it to.

A reference is critical because it determines how much motion has occurred. You can't determine how much an objected has moved if you don't know where it came from.

Eventually, the process approaches a steady state. In that steady state, the charge of the capacitor is not changing. What is th

devlian [24]

Answer:

The current in the circuit must be zero.

Explanation:

In a RC circuit, the steady state is reached when either the capacitor is fully charged or fully discharged. In either case, there must not be any current through the circuit because if it exists, it will deliver charge to the capacitor and thus change its charge, which is not a steady state.

M=3000km v=25m/s what’s the momentum

valina [46]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Momentum of the given body will be : 75000 Kg m/s

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to Newton's first law of motion, all bodies continue to be in the state of rest or motion unless an external force is applied on the body. We can use this in the case of momentum also

The formula of momentum is given by :

$:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv$

Here, we are given the mass of the body ( m ) as 3000kg and the velocity of the body ( v ) as 25 m/s. On putting the values in the formula:

$\begin{aligned}&:\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = mv \\& :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: P = 3000 \times 25 \\ & :\implies \sf\quad \sf \: \boxed{ \sf \: P = 75000kgm {s}^{ - 1} } \end{aligned}$

Momentum is associated with the mass of the moving body and can be defined as the quantity of motion measured as a product of mass and velocity.

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J
