Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current = 0.2A

Resistance = 40ohms

Unknown:

Potential difference = ?

Solution:

Potential difference is force that drives current in an electric circuit.

According to Ohms law, it is given as;

V = IR

V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

V = 0.2 x 40 = 8V

Two balls with masses of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 12 m/s and 4.0 m/s, respectively. If the balls

Alina [70]

Answer:

The kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 6.0 kg

initial speed of the first ball, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial speed of the second ball, u₂ = 4 m/s

let v be the final velocity of the two balls after the inelastic collision

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 12 + 6 x 4 = v(2 + 6)

48 = 8v

48 / 8 = v

v = 6 m/s

The initial kinetic energy of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(2)(12²) + ¹/₂(6)(4)²

K.E₁ = 144 + 48

K.E₁ = 192 J

The final kinetic of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)(v²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2 + 6)(6²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(8)(6²)

K.E₂ = 144 J

The lost in kinetic energy of the balls is K.E₂ - K.E₁ = 144 J - 192 J = -48 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Three pendulums all have the same length and start from the same height. The first pendulum is very light and has a mass of 67 g

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity

Explanation:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity irrespective of their mass difference in isolated system (means where air drag are negligible) and at same length

As you know when velocity is calculated we can not take mass into account.

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.

What is all cells in a body that arent formed in a reproductive organ???

vovangra [49]

Explanation:

An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells. For example, the heart contains muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood, fibrous tissue that makes up the heart valves, and special cells that maintain the rate and rhythm of heartbeats.
