Answer:

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 6V

Resistance = 55,000 Ohms

To find the current flowing through the circuit;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current the subject of formula, we have;

$I = \frac {V}{R}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$I = \frac {6}{55000}$

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Which four equations can be used to solve for acceleration

emmainna [20.7K]

The four equations for acceleration are obtained from the three equations of motion and from second law of motion.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So the change in velocity with respect to time can be determined using the three equations of motions.

So from the first equation of motion, v = u + at , we can determine the value of acceleration if time taken, final and initial velocity is known. The equation can be re-written as $a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

Similarly, from the second equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2 at², we can determine the equation for acceleration as $a = 2*\frac{s-ut}{t^{2} }$

So this is second equation for acceleration.

Then from the third equation of motion, $v^{2}- u^{2} = 2* a *s$

the acceleration equation is determined as $a = \frac{v^{2}-u^{2} }{2s}$

In addition to these three equation, another equation is present to determine the acceleration with respect to force from the Newton's second law of motion. F = Mass × acceleration. From this, acceleration = Force/mass.

So, these are the four equations for acceleration.
