Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5A) = 240 ohms

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?

Tema [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):

   Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

   = (100 N) / (50 kg)

   = 2 m/s²

Which of the following provides evidence that earth is rotating? The sun rises and sets, The plane of a foucault pendulum appear

bagirrra123 [75]

The answer would be 'The plane of a Foucault pendulum appears to shift its orientation' because it is an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the earth.

Hope this helps.

If the mass of a basketball is 18 times that of a tennis mass, can they ever have the same momentum? Explain your answer

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes. The momentum is the same when the speed of the tennis ball is 18 times greater than the speed of the basketball and the velocities of both objects are in the same direction.

Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x axis and fields are in the y direction. (a) does an electric field exe

matrenka [14]

(a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object?
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
 $F=qE$
As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with charge q and speed v is
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object?
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
 $F=qE$
as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

(d) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

(f) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
 $F=qE$
So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
is different from zero because v is different from zero.
