Physics
1 answer:

4 0

Answer: D

Explanation: Resistance of current in a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the cross - sectional area of the wire. That is,

R = (rho × L)/A

Where

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional Area of the wire

rho = resistivity = proportionality constant which depends on the quality of the wire.

Therefore, Resistance and resistivity are related by a:

proportionality constant dependent on the identity of the material.

Later research indicated that electric current is actually the flow of ____
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Electrons.

Explanation:

Electricity was discovered before the discovery of electrons by J.J Thompson in 1896. Before the electron, it was thought that it is the positive ions that move through the wire and carry current—that's why today the conventional current represents the flow of positive charges.

After J.J Thompson's discovery of the electrons, it was realized that it is the electrons that actually carry the current through the conductor. But changing the direction of the conventional current didn't seem appropriate, and that's why the convention continues to be used to this day—reminding us that once it were the positive ions that were thought to carry the current.

PLEASEEE HELP, thank you :)
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Given that the <em>current </em>(Ampere) in a series circuit is same so we can ignore it. We can assume that the total voltage is 60V and all the 3 resistance are different, 20Ω, 40Ω and 60Ω. So first, we have to find the total resistance by adding :

Total resistance = 20Ω + 40Ω + 60Ω

= 120Ω

Next, we have to find out that 1Ω is equal to how many voltage by dividing :

120Ω = 60V

1Ω = 60V ÷ 120

1Ω = 0.5V

Lastly, we have to calculate the voltage at R1 so we have to multiply by 20 (R1) :

1Ω = 0.5V

20Ω = 0.5V × 20

20Ω = 10V

In general, how did the water pressure in the tank change when mass was added to the fluid?
MissTica

Answer:

As the height increases the pressure must increase.

Explanation:

When we add masses to the fluid, the amount of fluid in the tank increases, therefore its height increases and the pressure is described by the expression

           P = ρ g h

where rho is constant for a given fluid and h is the height measured from the surface of the fluid.

As the height increases the pressure must increase.

Help on finding kinetic energy??
Jobisdone [24]
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.
