I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. It is the electrons that flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion causes an electric current in a wire. Electrons, which continuously move in wire, are called Electric Current. Hope this answers the question.

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

The rate at which the electrons flow constitutes the electric current. The force is requires to make current flow through the wire.

There is a flow of the electrons in a wire due to the potential difference in the circuit.

The electrons always flow from high potential to the low potential. The electric force between the charged particles are important in electricity.

Unlike charges attract each other.The electrons are attracted towards the positive terminal of the battery. So, there are electrical attraction and electrical repulsion. Electrons flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion.

Therefore, the correct option us B.

A model train engine was moving at a constant speed on a straight horizontal track. As the engine moved along, a marble was fir

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The marble was moving in a projectile and the speed of the engine was 2.716 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical component of the marble's flight path relative to the train

is given by the equation y(t) = v*t - (4.9)*t^2,

where, v is the initial upward velocity of the marble relative to the train.

So with y(1) = v - 4.9 = 0 we have

v = 4.9 m/s.

The marble will reach maximum height after 0.5 seconds, at which the

height will be y(0.5) = (4.9)*(0.5) - (4.9)*(0.5)^2 = (4.9)*(0.25) = 1.225 m.

Now, the marble has a vertical velocity component of 4.9 m/s and a horizontal velocity component

of V m/s such that tan(61) = 4.9 / V

V = 4.9 / tan(61) = 2.716 m/s

This horizontal velocity component of the marble is the same as the

speed of the train i.e. 2.716 m/s.

Write a sentence on how these words are used in real life situations

ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can approach an expression for the instantaneous velocity at any point on the path by taking the limit as the time interval gets smaller and smaller. Such a limiting process is called a derivative and the instantaneous velocity can be defined as.#3

For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form: If the beginning and ending velocities for this motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as For this special case, these expressions give the same result. Example for non-constant acceleration#1

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J

alexandr402 [8]

We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v.

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!
