A resistor in a circuit acts as a switch to control the flow of charge in a circuit.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An electrical components that plays a role of limiting or regulating the electrical current flow is termed as Resistor. It can be helpful for the purpose of giving certain voltage to a device like a transistor. The current that is passing through a resistor has a inverse proportionality with its resistance and direct proportionality to the voltage that is passing across it., provided another factors remaining unchanged. This can be explained by  Ohm's Law.

The electric current that is passing through an electrical circuit will always be dependent on the the voltage and the resistance. When the current flowing throgh a circuit is larger then it can result in heating that damages and burn he resistors or the objects that is present around the circuit.

dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

Tom says that insulation keeps out the cold. Explain why this statement is incorrect. What should Tom have said?
Zina [86]
There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness".  "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

As you take your leisurely tour through the solar system, you come across a 1.45 kg rock that was ejected from a collision of as
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P =1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s

1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v

v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

F₄ = 29.819 N

Explanation:

Given

F₁ = (- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₂ = (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j + 0 k) N

F₃ = (0 i + 0 j + 4 k) N

Then we have

F₁ + F₂ + F₃ + F₄ = 0

⇒   F₄ = - (F₁ + F₂ + F₃)

⇒   F₄ = - ((- 25*Cos 50° i + 25*Sin 50° j) N + (12*Cos 50° i + 12*Sin 50° j) N + (4 k) N) = (13*Cos 50° i - 37*Sin 50° j - 4 k) N

The magnitude of the force will be

F₄ = √((13*Cos 50°)² + (- 37*Sin 50°)² + (- 4)²) N = 29.819 N
