Explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t

Answer:

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity. It is represented mathematically as

Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

The S. I unit of momentum is kilograms meter per second i.e Kg.m/s.

Momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction.

Momentum of an object is greatly affected my the mass and velocity of the object as we can clear from the equation.

You have to find the calculate the circumference first then you can just multiply the diameter by π, which is about 3.142. That gives you the distance for each revolution. Then you can multiply by the number of revolutions per minute.

we see a magnet exerting a force on a current-carrying wire. Does a current-carrying wire exert a force on a magnet? Why or why

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation: Electric and magnetic field are known to be inter-related, this implies that for any current carrying conductor there is a resulting magnetic field around the wire ( for example a current carrying conductor deflects a compass) and a magnetic field has been known to produce some amount current based on the principle of electromagnetic induction by Micheal Faraday.

The strength of magnetic field generated by a current carrying conductor is given by Bio-Savart law (purely mathematical) which is

B = $\frac{u_{0}I }{2πr}$

B= strength of magnetic field

I =current on conductor

r = distance on any point of the conductor relative to it center

If a current carrying could generate this magnitude of magnetic field, thus this magnetic field has the ability to interact (exert a force on any magnetic material) with any other magnetic material including a magnet.

Yes, a current carrying conductor can exert a force on a magnetic field

Which atmospheric condition is most likely responsible for the wind blowing the clouds from the sea towards the land?

lions [1.4K]

Uneven heating of land and sea causes warm air over land to rise up, creating a low pressure zone. So wind blows in from the sea to fill this low pressure zone

Why is electrical energy considered as potential energy as its the energy of moving electrons?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: When the electrons move in another direction, they convert this chemical potential energy to electricity in the circuit, thus discharging the battery. So, the battery is all potential energy.
