Why do electrons flow in a circuit

Physics

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.

To understand how to find the velocities of objects after a collision.

trasher [3.6K]

There are some information missing on Part D: Let the mass of object 1 be m and the mass of object 2 be 3m. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what are the velocities of the two objects after the collision? Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, separated by a comma. Express each velocity in terms of v.

Answer: Part A: v_1 = 0; v_2 = v

Part B: v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{2}$

Part C: v_1 = $\frac{v}{3}$ ; v_2 = $\frac{4v}{3}$

Part D: v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{4}$

Explanation: In elastic collisions, there no loss of kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Momentum is determined as p = m.v and kinetic energy as K = $\frac{1}{2}$ m. $v^{2}$

Conserved means that the amount of initial momentum is equal to the amount of final momentum:

$m_{1}$ . $v_{1i}$ + $m_{2}$ . $v_{2i}$ = $m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f}$

No loss of energy means that initial kinietc energy is the same as the final kinetic energy:

$\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}.v_{1i} + m_{2}.v_{2i}) = \frac{1}{2} (m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f} )$

To determine the final velocities of each object, there are 2 variables and two equations, so working those equations, the result is:

$v_{2f} = \frac{2.m_{1} } {m_{1} + m_{2} }.v_{1i} + \frac{(m_{2} - m_{1})}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{2i}$

$v_{1f} = \frac{m_{2} - m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i} + \frac{2.m_{2} }{m_{1} + m_{2} } .v_{2i}$

For all the collisions, object 2 is static, i.e. $v_{2i}$ = 0

Part A: Both objects have the same mass (m), $v_{1i}$ = v and collision is elastic:

v_1 = $\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i}$

v_1 = 0

v_2 = $\frac{2.m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}}.v_{1i}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.m}{m+m}.v$

v_2 = v

When the masses are the same and there is an object at rest, the object in movement stops and the object at rest has the same same velocity as the object who hit it.

Part B: Same mass but collision is inelastic: An inelastic collision means that after it happens, the two objects has the same final velocity, then:

$m_{1}$ . $v_{1i}$ + $m_{2}$ . $v_{2i}$ = $m_{1}.v_{1f} + m_{2}.v_{2f}$

$m_{1}.v_{1i} = (m_{1}+m_{2}).v_{f}$

$v_{f} = \frac{m_{1}.v_{1i}}{m_{1} + m_{2} }$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{m.v}{m+m}$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{2}$

Part C: Object 1 is 2m, object 2 is m and elastic collision:

v_1 = $\frac{m_{2} - m_{1}}{m_{1} + m_{2} } . v_{1i}$

v_1 = $\frac{2m - m}{2m + m } . v$

v_1 = $\frac{v}{3}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.m_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}}.v_{1i}$

v_2 = $\frac{2.2m}{2m+m}.v$

v_2 = $\frac{4v}{3}$

Part D: Object 1 is m, object is 3m and collision is inelastic:

v_1 = v_2 = $v_{f} = \frac{m_{1}.v_{1i}}{m_{1} + m_{2} }$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{m}{m+3m}.v$

v_1 = v_2 = $\frac{v}{4}$

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W

Beaker A contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 25 °C. Beaker B contains 100 mL of water at a temperature of 60 °C. Which

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Only option A is correct. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Beaker 1 has a volume of 100 mL at 25 °C

Beaker B has a volume of 100 mL at 60 °C

Thermal energy = m*c*T

Thermal energy beaker A = 100 grams*4.184 * 25°C

Thermal energy beaker B = 100 grams *4.184*60°C

⇒ Since both beakers contain the same amount of water, the thermal energy depends on the temperature.

Since beaker B has a higher temperature, it has a higher thermal energy than beaker A

When we heat a substance, its temperature rises and causes an increase in the kinetic energy of its constituent molecules. Temperature is, in fact, a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.

This means beaker B has a higher kinetic energy than beaker A

Potential energy doesn't depend on temperature. this means the potential energy of beaker A and beaker B is the same.

a. Beaker A has lower kinetic energy than beaker B. This is correct.

b. Beaker A has higher thermal energy than beaker B. This is false.

c. Beaker A has higher potential energy than beaker B. This is false.

d. Beaker A has lower potential energy than beaker B. This is false

e. Beaker A has higher kinetic energy than beaker B. This is false.

Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.
