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

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.

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

What is kinematics..???​
swat32

Answer:

Kinematics is the study of motion, without any reference to the forces that cause the motion. It basically means studying how things are moving, not why they're moving. It includes concepts such as distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration, and it looks at how those values vary over time.

Which statement best describes metallic bonding
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It's a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal bars. It can also be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions

Grape juice solid-conduction , solid-convection,fluid-conduction , fluid-convection
Gelneren [198K]

The process by which the heat energy is transmitted between the atoms or molecules is known as conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through the material that are caused by temperature gradient with the material ends in heat flux. The heat transfer done by movement and mixing of a fluid is known as convection.

If a fluid is taken and it is kept as stationary. If there is a temperature gradient across that fluid, there would be transfer of heat that occurs in the fluid. It is negligible when compared to convective heat transfer.

Because of the heat transfer from solid to solid, density of liquid changes and start to move in upward direction due to low density. This type of motion is known as convection currents.

Is kinetic energy scalar quantity
VashaNatasha [74]

Yes, Kinetic Energy is a scalar quantity because the direction is not needed.  A scalar quantity is one dimensional measurement.

Explanation:

  • Kinetic Energy is a scalar quantity that means it has only a magnitude and no direction.
  • Energy has a size but no direction; two objects can have the same kinetic energy but they travel in opposite directions.
  • The formula of Kinetic Energy is
  1. K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}
  • Mass is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
  • squaring velocity will make vector to scalar quantity.
