How do electrons flow through a wire

Every atom has electrons. When you add new electrons to the wire, they will be passed on to an atom. The electrons keep passing from atom to atom until it reaches the light source, basically. It's kinda like that one song "100 jugs of milk" or whatever it's called. Each atom passes the atom next to it an electron.

Does the thickness of the wire affect the strength of an electroscope

TiliK225 [7]

It probably does. I'm not 100% sure about it, but a thicker wire would increase the number of positive and negative charges in it.

Help please! This question is driving me crazy

Answer:

-10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis

Explanation:

The x component of the resultant vector is:

x = 3.14 cos(30.0°) + 2.71 cos(-60.0°)

x = 4.07

The y component of the resultant vector is:

y = 3.14 sin(30.0°) + 2.71 sin(-60.0°)

y = -0.777

Therefore, the angle between the resultant vector and the +x axis is:

θ = atan(y / x)

θ = atan(-0.777 / 4.07)

θ = -10.8°

The angle is -10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it hits the ground with a force 0.50 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25

Rom4ik [11]

Acceleration of the ball is $50 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball can be found by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

$F=ma$
