Answer:

<h3>Electricity is the flow of charges through a conductor. </h3>

It happens when a force moves the first electron on a surface where they are free to move.

A golf club hits a stationary 0.05kg golf ball with and average force of 5.0 x 10^3 newtons accelerating the ball at 44 meters p

maxonik [38]

Answer: The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

Explanation:

Force applied on the golf ball = $5.0\times 10^3 N$

Mass of the ball = 0.05 kg

Velocity with which ball is accelerating = 44 m/s

Time period over which forece applied = t

$f=ma=\frac{m\times v}{t}$

$t=\frac{0.05 kg\times 44m/s}{5.0\times 10^3 N}=4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds$

$Impulse=(force)\times (time)=f\times t = 5.0\times 10^3\times 4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds=2.2$ Newton seconds

The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10000n/m and nominal length of 0.50.what is the total length

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/ $s^{2}$

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/ $s^{2}$ x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈ 0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! More science questions coming soon!!

Naily [24]

Answer:

1.) A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) C

Both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) A, B and C

Explanation:

1.) SO2 + ___ H2 ----------> _____ S + _______H2O

Looking at above equation, we have one molecule of surfur at the right hand side (RHS), and one molecule of surfur at the left hand side (LHS).

Two atoms of hydrogen and both RHS and LHS

But oxygen is not balanced. We have two atoms of oxygen at the RHS while having one at the LHS.

So let's make oxygen 2 atoms at LHS by adding 2 to water molecules and hydrogen molecules at the RHS.

SO2 + ___ 2H2 ----------> _____ S + _______2H2O

The correct answer is A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both magnetic force and gravitational force obey inverse square law with distance. They are not directly proportional but inversely proportional to the square distance. B is the correct answer because Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) Light waves are transverse waves which can travel through a vacuum without a medium while sound waves are longitudinal waves which cannot travel through vacuum without a medium. But both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) If an object is slowing down, due to conservation of energy,

The potential energy could be increasing, like a ball thrown into the air.

The kinetic energy could be lost to friction or air resistance.

The ball could be returning to its natural resting state.

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?

Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.
