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.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

$intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2$

increase the intensity by factor of 9

I₁ = I₀

I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}$

$\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2$

$(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

10. A 25 kg apple cart is being pushed with an applied force of 115 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ca

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1.1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

F -mgμ = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = applied force, m = mass of the apple cart, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction., a = acceleration of the apple cart.

Given: F = 115 N, m = 25 kg, μ = 0.35

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

115-(25×10×0.35) = 25×a

115-87.5 = 25a

25a = 27.5

a = 27.5/25

a = 1.1 m/s²

If a box is pulled with a force of 100 N at an angle of 25

love history [14]

The X and Y components of the force are 90.63 Newton and 42.26 Newton respectively.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Force = 100 Newton.

Angle of inclination = 25°

To determine the X and Y components of the force:

<h3>The horizontal component (X) of a force:</h3>

Mathematically, the horizontal component of a force is given by this formula:

$F_x = Fcos \theta\\\\F_x =100 \times cos25\\\\F_x =100 \times 0.9063$

Fx = 90.63 Newton.

<h3>The vertical component (Y) of tensional force:</h3>

Mathematically, the vertical component of a force is given by this formula:

$F_y = Fsin \theta\\\\F_y =100 \times sin25\\\\F_y =100 \times 0.4226$

Fy = 42.26 Newton.
