In order to determine distancetraveled, you must measure the length of the entire path taken by the object. ... Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is an object's change in position, only measuring from its starting position to the final position.

A potential difference of 1.20 V will be applied to a 33.0 m length of 18-gauge copper wire (diameter = 0.0400 in.). Calculate (
Nostrana [21]

Answer:A) Current = 1.739A, B)current density, J = 2.147x10^6 A/m2

magnitude of electric field , E =  0.036 N/C

)rate of thermal energy, P  =2.086W

Explanation:

Resistance  = R =   ρL/A

But the cross-section area of the wire. is given as

Diameter / 2 = 0.04/2 =0.02in to m = 0.02 / 39.37= 0.000508

A = πr^2 = π x  0.000508^2 = 8.10 x 10^-7

since resistivity of copper,ρ= 17x10-9 ohm.m

so resistance is   R =   ρL/A

17x10-9  x 33 / 8.1x10-7

= 0.69 ohm.

A) Current =    I = Voltage /Resistance =1.20/0.69 =1.739A

B)current density, J = Current /Area

= 1.739/8.1x10-7

= 2.147x10^6 A/m2

c)magnitude of electric field , E =  Current density x resistivity =J ρ

E = 2.147 x 10^6  x 17  x 10^-9

E = 0.036 N/C

D)rate of thermal energy, P  = I² R =1.739² X 0.69

=2.086W

A 61 kg skier leaves the end of a ski-jump ramp with a velocity of 27 m/s directed 21° above the horizontal. Suppose that as a r
Harman [31]

Answer:

22kj

Explanation:

set h = 0 at the end of slide.

final height is -12m

initial condition will be Ui = 0

Ki = 1/2mv² = 1/2 x 61 x (27)² = 22234.5J

Final condition is Ui = mgh = 61 x 9.8 x -12 = -7173J

Ki = 1/2mv²

Ki= 1/2 x 61 x (16)² = 7808J

conservation energy says that

Ui + Ki = Uf +Kf +ΔEth

so ΔEth = Ui + Ki - Uf - Kf

ΔEth = 22234.5 - 7808 + 7173

ΔEth = 21600J

ΔEth =22Kj

What’s the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rock into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are just like the bigger rock, just smaller. That means the rock has changed physically without changing its composition. The smaller pieces have the same minerals, in just the same proportions as the original rock.

Chemical weathering is the other important type of weathering. Chemical weathering is different from mechanical weathering because the rock changes, not just in size of pieces, but in composition Chemical weathering works through chemical reactions that cause changes in the minerals.

Why do the planets in our solar system stay in their positions?.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
