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.

What is the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at a frequency of 99.5 MHz
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=3.01\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f = 99.5 MHz = 99.5 × 10⁶ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at above frequency. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

c=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}{

c = speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{99.5\times 10^6\ Hz}

\lambda=3.01\ m

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station is 3.01 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Hydrogen fluoride gas (HF) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) react in a test tube. They form water and sodium fluoride (NaF). Which ty
solmaris [256]
The type of reaction that occurred in the test tube is ACID BASE REACTION.
Acid base reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to form salt and water molecules. It is also known as neutralization reaction. For the question given above, the applicable chemical reaction is as follows:
HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O
 From this chemical reaction, it can be seen that, hydrogen fluoride, which is a weak acid react with sodium hydroxide which is a strong base to produce sodium fluoride, which is a salt and a molecule of water.

If the car goes exits a freeway and goes from 65<br> mph to 35 mph is it accelerating?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

No, the car is decelerating  

Explanation:

No the car is decelerating if it exits a freeway and goes from 65

mph to 35 mph since the change in velocity is negative.

change in velocity = final - initial

change in velocity  = 35 - 65

change in velocity = -30mph

Since the change in velocity is negative, hence the car is decelerating. Deceleration is a negative acceleration

A penny has a mass of 2.50 g, a diameter of 19.55 mm, and a thickness of 1.55 mm. Calculate the density of the material from whi
Dmitry [639]
Density = (mass) divided by (volume)

We know the mass (2.5 g).  We need to find the volume.

The penny is a very short cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is (π · radius² · height).
The penny's radius is 1/2 of its diameter = 9.775 mm.
The 'height' of the cylinder is the penny's thickness = 1.55 mm.

Volume  =  (π) (9.775 mm)² (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (95.55 mm²) (1.55 mm)

             =  (π) (148.1 mm³)

             =        465.3 mm³

We know the volume now.  So we could state the density of the penny,
but nobody will understand what we have.  Here it is:

         mass/volume = 2.5 g / 465.3 mm³  =  0.0054 g/mm³  .

Nobody every talks about density in units of ' gram/(millimeter)³ ' .
It's always ' gram / (centimeter)³ '.
So we have to convert our number for the volume.

                         (0.0054  g/mm³)  x  (10 mm / cm)³

                 =      (0.0054 x 1,000)  g/cm³

                 =          5.37  g/cm³  .

This isn't actually very close to what the US mint says for the density
of a penny, but it's in a much better ball park than 0.0054 was.
