What is electricity ​

Physics
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a secondary energy source which means that we get it from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources, which are called primary sources.

A ball rolls from 10 m to -25 m in 2.5 seconds. What was<br> its average velocity?<br> (Units = m/s)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

v = -14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial location of the ball, X₁ = 10 m

Final position of the ball,  X₂ = -25 m

Time taken to travel is, t = 2.5 s

The average velocity of the ball is given by the formula,

                       V = X₂ - X₁ / t     m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                       V = -25 - 10 / 2.5

                          = -14 m/s

The negative sign in the velocity indicates that ball rolls in the opposite direction.

Hence, the average velocity of the ball is  v = -14 m/s

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy
inysia [295]
Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega

The time that an object takes to complete its orbit once around the sun
Naya [18.7K]
