For the answer to the question above asking what are the four basic units of electricity?These are the four basic units of electricity: Voltage (V) Current (I) Power (P) Resistance (R)
Well, Ohm's Law states that 'the current drifting in a conductor is directly-proportional to the potential difference across the ends of that conductor, providing all physical conditions, such as temperature, remain constant'. 

As you can see, therefore, only two (not four!) quantities, current, and voltage, are specified. So only two units of measurement apply the ampere and the volt.

I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!

The four basic units we use in the topic involving electricity are:

1. Volt (V) - used to express voltages
2. Ampere (A) - used for the electrical current
3. Ohm (Ω) - for electrical resistance
4. Watt (W) - for electric power

A bicyclist starts at rest and speeds up to 30 m/s while accelerating at 4 m/s^2. Determine the distance traveled.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Distance, d = 112.5 meters

Explanation:

Initially, the bicyclist is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the bicyclist, v = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the bicycle, $a=4\ m/s^2$

Let s is the distance travelled by the bicyclist. The third equation of motion is given as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{(30)^2}{2\times 4}$

s = 112.5 meters

So, the distance travelled by the bicyclist is 112.5 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. He bought three identical plants and gave plant 1 fertilizer every mo

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is

malfutka [58]

Answer: A) $6.38(10)^{6} m$

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia $I$ of a sphere is:

$I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2}$ is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

$m=5.98(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the planet

$r$ is the radius of the planet

Isolating $r$ from (1):

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}}$ (2)

Solving:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}}$ (3)

Finally:

$r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

$P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}$

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

$F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}$

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

$3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N$

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
