The correct answer to the question is - oppose the flow of current through substances.

EXPLANATION:

From Ohm's law, we know that current [ I ] flowing a wire is directly proportional to the potential difference [ V ] maintained across the two ends of the conductor at constant temperature and pressure.

Mathematically V ∝ I .

⇒ V = IR .

Here, R is the proportionality constant called resistance of the wire.

From above, we see that current flowing through a wire is inversely proportional to the resistance. It means that the current flow will be less with the increase of resistance of the wire.

Hence, resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of current in an electric wire.

For no apparent reason, a poodle is running at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s in a circle with radius 2.9 m . Let v⃗ 1 be the velo

Nostrana [21]

At a constant speed of 5.00 m/s, the speed at which the poodle completes a full revolution is

$\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\left(\dfrac{1\,\mathrm{rev}}{2\pi(2.9\,\mathrm m)}\right)\approx0.2744\,\dfrac{\mathrm{rev}}{\mathrm s}$

so that its period is $T=3.644\,\frac{\mathrm s}{\mathrm{rev}}$ (where 1 revolution corresponds exactly to 360 degrees). We use this to determine how much of the circular path the poodle traverses in each given time interval with duration $\Delta t$ . Denote by $\theta$ the angle between the velocity vectors (same as the angle subtended by the arc the poodle traverses), then

$\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{0.4\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx39.56^\circ$

$\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{0.2\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx19.78^\circ$

$\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\implies\dfrac{3.644\,\mathrm s}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s}\theta\implies\theta\approx6.923^\circ$

We can then compute the magnitude of the velocity vector differences $\Delta\vec v$ for each time interval by using the law of cosines:

$|\Delta\vec v|^2=|\vec v_1|^2+|\vec v_2|^2-2|\vec v_1||\vec v_2|\cos\theta$

$\implies|\Delta\vec v|=\begin{cases}3.384\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\\1.718\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\\0.6038\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}&\text{for }\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\end{cases}$

and in turn we find the magnitude of the average acceleration vectors to be

$\implies|\vec a|=\begin{cases}8.460\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.4\,\mathrm s\\8.588\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=0.2\,\mathrm s\\8.625\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}&\text{for }\Delta t=7\times10^{-2}\,\mathrm s\end{cases}$

So that takes care of parts A, C, and E. Unfortunately, without knowing the poodle's starting position, it's impossible to tell precisely in what directions each average acceleration vector points.

What kind of front occurs when a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass?

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, a front is formed and if the cold air is replacing the warm air, it is known as a cold front. Cold fronts frequently cause thunderstorms or rain showers because they pressure the air in a steep upward direction at the front's edge. They are also responsible to bring the changes in atmospheric pressure and wind direction.
