Answer:

the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. Aug 29 2019

Answer: 23.56 nV

Explanation:

Assuming that we apply Ohm's Law to this situation, we know that under this condition, the current resultant, is proportional to the voltage applied, and that the proportionality constant, is called the resistance.

Now, we define electric current, as the passage of a number of charges over time.

In this case, we can say that each singly-ionized potassium ion carries the charge equivalent to the one electron, which is q = 1.6. 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs.

So, as we have 90,000 ions, we will have a total charge as follows:

Q =90.10³. 1.6.10⁻¹⁹ coulombs

Also, we are told that this charge will be moving for 1.1 msec, so we can find the current I as follows:

I = Q/t ⇒ I = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A.

If we know that R= 1.8.10⁹ Ω, we can determine V, applying Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A . 1.8.10⁹ Ω = 23.56 nV

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is

Valentin [98]

Answer:

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

Explanation:

Horizontal Motion

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}$

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

$\displaystyle h=\frac {d^2g}{2v^2}$

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

$\displaystyle h=\frac {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}$

$\displaystyle h=\frac {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}$

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec

Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement : Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.
