What is voltage actually? Need an informal and non academic term explanation........TIA

1 answer:

6 0

To oversimply things, you can imagine current as the electrons passing through a certain point, example the wire or motor. However, the electrons won't move unless a force is applied on them to make them move. Voltage is this force, which is why it's also called electromotive force or e.m.f. Voltage, and more specifically voltage difference provides the force that pushes the electron, or current, through the circuit.
Hope I answered your question.

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w

Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater

I could use math to help with baking and measuring how much I should use for a cake or stuff like that, they also show us how to add our money together to help us with stuff.
Math, is helpful with many jobs, stuff learned in school can help you strategize and school also makes you think outside of the box sometimes, which can help with jobs. Also if you want to do a career with fashion designing or engineering, you can use math for that too. School also gives you the ability to read.

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

$KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

$u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s$
