Answer:

The correct answer is in the x-axis direction, where the distance travelled is 1.0 cm and the surface is 8 cm^{2}.

Explanation:

The electrical resistance is lower when the contact surface is larger and the length is shorter.

An electrical resistance is an opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. For a given conductor, the resistance is given by the following formula:

R = ρ * \frac{l}{S}

Where:

R: Electrical resistance.

ρ: Resistivity of the material.

l: Length.

S: Surface of the conductor.

Thus, the direction in which the electrical resistance is lower is when the distance is minimum and the area is greater.

Have a nice day!

You place a +1.00 mC charged object in an electric field of 900 N/C that points due East. Determine the magnitude and direction
Kay [80]

Answer:

0.9 N, east

Explanation:

charge, q = 1 mC = 0.001 C

Electric filed, E = 900 N/C due east

Force, F = q E

F = 0.001 x 900

F = 0.9 N

The direction of force is same as the direction of electric field as the charge is positive in nature. So, the direction of force is also east.

Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit below.
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

30Ω

Explanation:

To calculate the equivalent resistance in the circuit, do the following:

Step 1:

10Ω and 20Ω are in series connection. Therefore their equivalent is: 10 + 20 = 30Ω

Step 2:

The equivalent resistance (30Ω) obtained from the above is in parallel connection with 30Ω resistance shown in the diagram above.

Therefore their equivalent is given by:

1/30 + 1/30 = 2/30 = 1/15.

Now invert to obtain the equivalent

Therefore, the equivalent is 15Ω

Step 3:

Determination of the overall equivalent of the resistance of the circuit.

The new equivalent resistance 15Ω obtained above is in series connection with 15Ω resistance in the diagram above.

Therefore their equivalent is given by:

15Ω + 15Ω = 30Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance in the circuit is 30Ω

A pump can throw a stream of water up to 29.6m. What is the initial speed of the stream when it leaves a hose nozzle.
zhannawk [14.2K]
Hello
We know that the water's kinetic energy upon leaving will be converted into potential energy as it is projected straight up. The maximum height attained by the water is 29.6m.
We know Kinetic Energy is
1/2 * m * v^2
And Potential energy is
m*g*h
Equating,
(m*v^2)/2 = m*g*h
The mass cancels out from each side, making an object's mass irrelevant when its Kinetic and Potential energies are interchanging.
v = sprt(2gh)
v = sqrt(2*9.81*29.6)
v = 24.1 m/s
