How is Electric current able to flow?

2 answers:

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.

When discussing Newton's laws of motion,which terms do people most likely yse when talking about Newton's third law of motion?

mestny [16]

When discussing Newton's laws of motion, particularly Newton's third law of motion, the terms that almost everyone will use are "action" and "reaction".

You must not take this to mean that they understand what they're talking about.

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

Based on the attached image:

The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
Longitude 120° is B
Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
The location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

<h3>What are lines of longitude?</h3>

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run along the earth from the North pole. to the South pole.

Longitude lines divide the earth into semi-circles.

Longitude lines are known as meridians and each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.

Considering the attached image:

The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
Longitude 120° is B
Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
the location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

In conclusion, longitude lines are imaginary lines and run from North to South on the earth.

an auditorium measures 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m. the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. (a) what is the volume of the room in cubic fe

Fynjy0 [20]

dimension = 30.0 m ✕ 15.0 m ✕ 5.0 m.

density = 1.20 kg/m3

(a)volume = lenght * breadth * height

= 30 * 15 * 5

= 2250 metre cube = 2.25 cubic meter

(b) mass of air = density * volume

mass of air = 1.2 * 2250

mass of air = 2700kg

weight = mass * 9.8

= 2700 * 9.8

= 26,460 N

The definition of Density is the amount of matter in a given space, or volume
Density = mass/volume
units for density kg/m^3
Density of water 1g/ml
Salt water is denser that is why don't sink as easily.
