Answer:

It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.

Explanation:

To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1.2 Amps

Explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete, however, according to Ohm's law the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.</em>

Given Data

Voltage= 4.4V

Resistance= 5.2 Ohms

V=IR---------------Ohms law

I= V/R

I= 5.2/4.4

I= 1.18

I= 1.2 Amps

Hence the current is 1.2 Amps

A tiny particle with charge + 5.0 μC is initially moving at 55 m/s. It is then accelerated through a potential difference of 500
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

ΔK.E = 2.5 × 10⁻³ J

Explanation:

Given data in the question, we have:

Charge of the particle, q = 5.0 μC = 5 × 10 ⁻⁶ C

Initial speed of the particle, v = 55 m/s

The potential difference, ΔV = 500 V

Now, the gain in kinetic energy is given as

ΔK.E = q × ΔV

on substituting the values in the above formula, we get

ΔK.E = 5 × 10 ⁻⁶ C × 500 V

or

ΔK.E = 2.5 × 10⁻³ J
