Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

To produce an electric current, three things are needed: a supply of electric charges (electrons) which are free to flow, some form of push (electric potential) to move the charges through the circuit and a pathway to carry the charges. The pathway to carry the charges is usually a copper wire.

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei

tekilochka [14]

Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x = angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x) s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m

Which type of reaction occurs without being started by some outside force?

Nostrana [21]

A spontaneous reaction is a term that is best describe to a type of reaction wherein it is started without even with the help of an outside force. In addition to that, this kind of reaction is commonly driven by the forces of enthalpy and entropy which are essential concepts to thermodynamics.

Which of the following statements are true?a. Earth's geographic south pole is also a magnetic south pole. b. Scientists have ev

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

c, d, and f.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the statements one at a time:

a. Earth's geographic south pole is also a magnetic south pole.

This is not true. Earths magnetic south pole is slightly off (2,860 km away) from earth's geographical south pole.

b. Scientists have evidence that single isolated magnetic poles, called magnetic monopoles, exist.

Nope. So far no evidence yet exists that hypothetical magnetic monopoles exist.

c. The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

True, since opposite ends of a magnet attract and like ends repel.

d. The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Also true since like poles of a magnetic repel each other.

e. The north poles of two bar magnets will attract each other.

No, the north poles of two magnets will repel each other since they have the same polarity.

f. Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

Yes. If you call the point of the needle that points north the north pole of the compass, then it points north because it is attracted to the south pole of earth's magnetic field. (like repel opposites attract)

The density (mass divided by volume) of pure water is 1.00 g/cm^3 that of whole blood is 1.05 g/cm^3 and the density of seawater

Stells [14]

Answer:

a) 5000 g

b) 5250 g

c) 5150 g

Explanation:

For easier calculations, the formulas will be converted from g/cm³ to kg/m³, and then back when we're done.

Density of pure water is 1 g/cm³

1 g/cm³ = 1 * 0.001/0.000001

1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³, and thus,

Density of pure blood

1.05 g/cm³ = 1050 kg/m³

Density of seawater

1.03 g/cm³ = 1030 kg/m³

Recall that, Density = mass / volume, and as such, mass = density * volume.

Converting our volume from L to m³

1 m³ = 1000 L, and as such

1 L = 0.001 m³

5 L = 0.005 m³

Mass of pure water = 1000 * 0.005

Mass of pure water = 5 kg

Mass of pure blood = 1050 * 0.005

Mass of pure blood = 5.25 kg

Mass of seawater = 1030 * 0.005

Mass of seawater = 5.15 kg

Converting these masses back to g, we have

Mass of pure water = 5 kg * 1000 g

Mass of pure water = 5000 g

Mass of pure blood = 5.25 kg * 1000 g

Mass of pure blood = 5250 g

Mass of seawater = 5.15 kg * 1000 g

Mass of seawater = 5150 g
