<span>The major difference is the presence or absence of external energy source. In an electrolytic cell, one does not need an outside source of energy like a battery while in a voltaic cell the reaction occurs simultaneously, or without help. The other major difference is that in an electrolytic cell, the flow of electrons is from positive(cathode) to negative(anode). In a voltaic cell the flow of electrons is from negative(anode) to positive(cathode).</span>

Freight trains can produce only relatively small acceleration and decelerations. (a) what is the final velocity (in m/s) of a fr

m_a_m_a [10]

(a) We will use the equation v = u + at
Initial velocity u = 5.00 m/s
Acceleration a = 0.0600 m/s²
time = 8 min = 8 x 60 = 480 s
Final velocity
= u + at
= 5.00 + 0.0600(480)
= 33.8 m/s

The final velocity is 33.8 m/s

Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.2 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$i_2 = 7.6 A$

Explanation:

As we know that the force per unit length of two parallel current carrying wires is given as

$F = \frac{\mu_o i_1 i_2}{2\pi d}$

here we know that

$F = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} N/m$

$i_1 = 0.52 A$

d = 2.2 cm

now from above equation we have

$3.6 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (0.52)(i_2)}{2\pi (0.022)}$

$3.6 \times 10^{-5} = 4.73 \times 10^{-6} i_2$

$i_2 = 7.6 A$

Why-does-the-energy-of-a-sound-wave-decrease-over-time

KengaRu [80]

The sound wave never actually loses energy, the bulk of energy it had at the beginning of the sound, is spread out into a sphere, making it decrease in amplitude and frequency.
