The potential difference between two points in a circuit is
sometimes called the 'voltage' because its unit of measure
is the volt. This is a big part of the reason why a voltmeter
is the device that's used to measure it.

Answer:

3kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Small Sledgehammer:

Mass:3.0

Velocity:1.5

MASS×VELOCITY=MOMENTUM

3.0×1.5= 4.5 (momentum)

Large Sledgehammer:

Mass:4.0

Velocity:0.9

4.0×0.9=3.6 (momentum)

higher momentum is the smaller Sledgehammer.

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of

Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.

Two radio antennas A and B radiate in phase. Antenna B is a distance of 120 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point Q along

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

240 m

120 m

Explanation:

d = Path difference = 120 m

For destructive interference

Path difference

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2d\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times 120\\\Rightarrow \lambda=240\ m$

The longest wavelength is 240 m

For constructive interference

$d=\lambda\\\Rightarrow 120\ m=\lambda$

The longest wavelength is 120 m

Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. Analyze Coulomb's law and answer th

maria [59]

Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F
