Electric potential on one side of the closed circuit is applied and this causes the electrons to move to a position of lower potential. Imagine this as when you raise an object above the ground and release it. It moves from its higher potential energy position above the ground to its lower potential energy position.

Explanation:

When the potential difference is provided to the conductor then the electrons start moving in the conductor. The electrons move from lower potential to the higher potential.

The rate of flow electrons constitutes the electric current. The direction of the electric current is opposite to the direction of the electrons.

For example, suppose the battery is connected to the circuit. It forces the electrons to flow in the conductor. The battery provides potential to the electrons so that the electrons can flow in the circuit. There are two terminals in the battery: Positive terminal and Negative terminal. Positive terminal is at higher potential. Negative terminal is at lower potential.

In this way, electrons flow in the circuit and constitute the electric current flow in the circuit.

A rocket is launched and the observer measuring the rocket altitude is standing at a distance of 200 feet from the launcher. Whe
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

100 foot

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range to calculate the speed first as shown;

<h3>Range R = U²sin 2theta/g</h3>

U is the speed

theta is the observe angle

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

200 = U²sin 2(45)/9.8

Usin90 = 200 * 9.8

U² = 1960

U = √1960

U = 44.27 m/s

Get the required altitude

Altitude H = u²/2g

H = 44.27²/2(9.8)

H = 1,959.8329/19.6

<em>H = 99.99 feet</em>

<em>Hence the altitude of the rocket to the nearest foot is 100 foot</em>
