One terminal of a car battery is said to be connected to “ground.” since it is not really connected to the ground, what is meant

by this expression

This expression means that the negative terminal (-) is connected to the metal chassis or engine, which means that all voltages used for the electrical devices in the car are measured with respect to the car's chassis or engine. 
Today's vehicles have a negative ground system, which means that the vehicle's steel frame or chassis is directly connected to the negative side of the battery via the negative battery cable.

What is the resistance of : A) A 1.70 m long copper wire that is 0.700 mm in diameter? B) A 20.0 cm long piece of carbon with a
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of copper wire = 1.70 m

Diameter = 0.700 mm

Length of carbon piece = 20.0 cm

Cross section areaA = (2.00\times10^{-3})^2\ m

(I). We need to calculate the area of copper wire

Using formula of area

A=\pi r^2

A=3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.70}{3.14\times(\dfrac{0.700\times10^{-3}}{2})^2}

R=0.0742\ \Omega

(II). We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Put the value into the formula

R=\dfrac{3.5\times10^{-5}\times20\times10^{-2}}{(2.00\times10^{-3})^2}

R=1.75\ \Omega

Hence, (I). The resistance of the copper wire is 0.0742 Ω.

(II). The resistance of the carbon piece is 1.75 Ω.

What happens when multiple forces act upon an object?
Bogdan [553]
The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.

Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.

As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

<em>The statement is true</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion </u>

When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{The statement is true}}
