Later research indicated that electric current is actually the flow of ____

Physics
1 answer:
iren [92.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Electrons.

Explanation:

Electricity was discovered before the discovery of electrons by J.J Thompson in 1896. Before the electron, it was thought that it is the positive ions that move through the wire and carry current—that's why today the conventional current represents the flow of positive charges.

After J.J Thompson's discovery of the electrons, it was realized that it is the electrons that actually carry the current through the conductor. But changing the direction of the conventional current didn't seem appropriate, and that's why the convention continues to be used to this day—reminding us that once it were the positive ions that were thought to carry the current.

A dancer moves around a path like the one
mash [69]

Given what we know, despite not having the figure attached to the question, we can still confirm that the magnitude for the acceleration of the dancer will be zero.

<h3>Why is the dancer's acceleration equal to zero?</h3>

This has to do with how the question clarifies the speed of the dancer. Though it does not give us an exact value, we are told that the speed is constant. This is an indicator that the acceleration is zero because with any other value for acceleration the speed <u>cannot remain</u> constant.

Therefore, given that any value for acceleration will increase or decrease the speed of the dancer, but we are told that the dancer's speed is constant throughout the trip, we can confirm that the magnitude for the acceleration of the dancer is zero.

The motor of a washing machine rotates with a period of 28 ms. What is the angular speed, in units of rad/s?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2π/[28 x (10^-3)]

Explanation:

Angular speed : ω=2π/T

T = 28ms = 28 x (10^-3) s

Angular speed = 2π/[28 x (10^-3)]

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.

4. Describe how the velocity of an object changes if it undergoes uniformly acceleration motion. Can its direction change?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

n the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector therefore it has magnitude and direction, a change in either of the two is the consequence of an acceleration on the system.

In the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

              a_{t} = (v₂-v₁)/Δt

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

                    a_{c} = v2/R

In the general case, both the module and the address change

             a = Ra (  a_{t}^2 +   a_{c}^2)
