Answer:

When a negative charge is brought near one end of a conductor electrons are repelled. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2.
Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. 
1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. 
Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. 

Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. 
e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. 
Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N

two toy cars can roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Car A is a 5 kg. Car B is 0.5 kg. Both cars start from rest. Equ

Llana [10]

Answer:

A. The momentum of car A(5kg) is EQUAL to that of car B(0.5)

Explanation:

The moment, or impulse formula of the same forces acting on both car within 1 second is

$\Delta p = F * \Delta t$

In our case the forces are the same, the time duration of force acting on the cars are the same. Therefore, their momentum right after the force must also be the same.

A 0.20 kg mass attached to the end of a spring causes it to stretch 3.0 cm. What is the spring constant? What is the potential e

SVEN [57.7K]

Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m

We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.

The spring constant can be calculated by the formula
