Resistance in wires causes which of the following to occur?

Physics
2 answers:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

Answer: C. causes thermal energy

Explanation: Resistance in wires basically creates obstruction in the path of the current flow.

This obstruction results in a collision for the charge carrying electrons. This collision thus converts the kinetic energy of the electrons into thermal energy in the form of heat.

Resistance reduces the amount of current flowing through a conductor and hence less current means less power resulting in loss of brightness.

How does NaOH form a basic solution when it dissolves in water
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
It decomposes into CH3COO- and H+ when dissolved in water. The H+ ions react with the water molecules to generate H3O+, making the solution acidic. When NaOH is added to water, it separates into Na+ and OH-. The sodiums have little effect on the solution, but the hydroxyls make it more basic.

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".

Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed.  So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.

A tow truck is pulling 25,000 kg van with a tow hook that meets the van at an angle of 30° with the ground. How much force must
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N
