Answer:

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current (I) is the ratio of the quantity of charges (Q) that flows through a point to the time taken (t).

i.e I = $\frac{Q}{t}$

It is measured in Ampere's by the use of an ammeter in the laboratory. The quantity of charge that flow through a given point is measured in Coulombs, while time is measured in seconds.

Given that; I = 1.5A and t = 2s, find Q.

Q = It

= 1.5 × 2

= 3.0 C

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the

belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass

Sidana [21]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mv²

Kinetic Energy = 14 J, v = 2.3 m/s , m = ?

14 = 1/2 * m* 2.3²

14 = 0.5*m*2.3*2.3

m = 14 / (0.5*2.3*2.3)

m = 5.29 kg.

Mass = 5.29 kg.

Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R-0.520 m and ma

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.54454

104.00902 N

Explanation:

m = Mass of wheel = 100 kg

r = Radius = 0.52 m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

Mass of inertia is given by

$I=\dfrac{mr^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{100\times 0.52^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=13.52\ kgm^2$

Angular acceleration is given by

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu fr}{I}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\mu 50\times 0.52}{13.52}$

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}t\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{\mu (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}\times 6\\\Rightarrow 0=6.28318-11.53846\mu\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{6.28318}{11.53846}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.54454$

The coefficient of friction is 0.54454

At r = 0.25 m

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\dfrac{0.54454 (-50)\times 0.52}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 0=60\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}+\dfrac{0.54454 f\times 0.25}{13.52}6\\\Rightarrow 2\pi=0.06041f\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{2\pi}{0.06041}\\\Rightarrow f=104.00902\ N$

The force needed to stop the wheel is 104.00902 N

S.I. Units Ampere is use for what?

lawyer [7]

The ampere (symbol: A) is the SI base unit of electric current equal to one coulomb per second.

The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 times 10–7 newton per meter of length.

Electric current is the time rate of change or displacement of electric charge.

One ampere represents the rate of 1 coulomb of charge per second.

The ampere is defined first (it is a base unit, along with the meter, the second, and the kilogram), without reference to the quantity of charge.

The unit of charge, the coulomb, is defined to be the amount of charge displaced by a one ampere current in the time of one second.

This is your answer friend. Hope it helps you.
