What potential difference is required across a 8Ω resistor to cause 2.0 A to flow through it?

IF YOUR GOOD AT SCIENCE THEN PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

A: Copper is a good conductor

Explanation:

For an electrical current to flow through something, the main power source has to fight against the resistivity. Copper wire has a very low level of resistivity making it an excellent conductor. Basically, copper is super bendy and flexible, electricity.

Fun fact, sinc humans are also super bendy and essentially big sacs of all things wet and watery, we're considered to also be excellent conductors. We also have very intricate circuitry and a lot of natural electricity so basically, we were made for it, especially since the body already used little bits of electricity to function.

A water skier is pulled by a boat traveling with a constant velocity. Which one of the following statements is false concerning

ycow [4]

Answer:

C. There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the boat’s velocity.

Explanation:

This is because, according to Newton's First law of motion, when an object which in this case is the skier tends to be in equilibrium because it travels at a constant velocity, there is no net acceleration of the skier, and this causes the net force on the skier to be equal to zero.

Therefore in this question, option C which states that "There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the boat’s velocity" is a false statement.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1700 kg car traveling at a speed of 30 m/s (â65 mph)? does your answer to part b depend on the c

MArishka [77]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.

For the car in the problem, $m=1700 kg$ and $v=30 m/s$ , so the kinetic energy of the car is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1700 kg)(30 m/s)^2=7.65\cdot 10^5 J$

and as we can see, yes, the answer depends on the car's mass.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.6375 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of the man from the building

from the figure attached

initially the value of x=12

Given:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$

where the negative sign depicts that the distance of the man from the building is decreasing.

Now, Let The length of the shadow be = y

we have to calculate $\frac{dy}{dt}$ when x=4

from the similar triangles

we have,

$\frac{2}{12-x}=\frac{y}{12}$

or

$y=\frac{24}{12-x}$

Differentiating with respect to time 't' we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{-dx}{dt}$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{dx}{dt}$

Now for x = 4, and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$ we have,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-4}^2\times (-1.7)$

or

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-0.6375m/s$

<u>here, the negative sign depicts the decrease in length and in the question it is asked the decreasing rate thus, the answer is </u><u>0.6375m/s</u>
