Answer:

Direction

Explanation:

There are two types of electric current:

- DC (Direct current): in a direct current, the direction of the flow of the current is constant; this means that it does not change. This means that the potential difference supplied has always the same direction, so that the electrons travel always in the same direction through the circuit

- AC (Alternating current): in an alternating current, the direction of the flow of the current is constantly reverses. This means that the direction of the potential difference supplied constantly changes, therefore the electrons travel half the time in one direction and half the time in the opposite direction.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\$

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

v = 6.45 10⁻³ m / s

Explanation:

Electric force is

F = q E

Where q is the charge and E is the electric field

Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration

F- W = m a

a = F / m - g

a = q / m E g

Let's calculate

a = -1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹ (-1.30 10⁻¹⁰) - 9.8

a = 0.228 10² -9.8

a= 13.0 m / s²

Now we can use kinematics, knowing that the resting parts electrons

v² = v₀² + 2 a y

v =√ (0 + 2 13.0 1.6 10⁻⁶)

v = 6.45 10⁻³ m / s

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo

Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

$F_{net} =F-W=ma$

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast ( $9\times g$ acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore,

$F= ma+W$ OR $F=ma+mg=m(g+a)$

Given $m = 30 kg$ and $a=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}$

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,

$F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )$

$F=3.537\times10^{3}N$
