Explanation:

The difference of electrical potential between two points is called the potential difference.

It is also defined as the work done in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.

The SI unit of electric potential is volt. It is denoted by V.

A police officer in hot pursuit of a criminal drives her car through an unbanked circular (horizontal) turn of radius 300 m at a
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is <u>10°.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the driver is, m=55\ kg

Radius of circular turn is, R=300\ m

Linear speed of the car is, v=22.2\ m/s

Since, the car makes a circular turn, the driver experiences a centripetal force radially inward towards the center of the circular turn. Also, the driver experiences a downward force due to her weight. Therefore, two forces act on the driver which are at right angles to each other.

The forces are:

1. Weight = mg=55\times 9.8=539\ N

2. Centripetal force, 'F', which is given as:

F=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\F=\frac{55\times (22.2)^2}{300}\\\\F=\frac{55\times 492.84}{300}\\\\F=\frac{27106.2}{300}=90.354\ N

Now, the angle of the net force acting on the driver with respect to the vertical is given by the tan ratio of the centripetal force (Horizontal force) and the weight (Vertical force) and is shown in the triangle below. Thus,

\tan \theta=\frac{90.354}{539}\\\tan \theta=0.1676\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.1676)=9.52\approx 10°

Therefore, the angle (relative to vertical) of the net force of the car seat on the officer to the nearest degree is 10°.

Planet X is in a stable circular orbit around a star, as shown in the figure. Which of the following graphs best predicts the an
damaskus [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.

L = I × ω

Since the planet follows a stable circular orbit, I and ω are constant and non-zero.  Therefore, the angular momentum is constant and non-zero.

Your car is stalled in the middle of a large patch of ice (assumed to be frictionless). You have a friend that has thrown a rope
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The time depends on the distance that they have to travel

x(t) = \frac{0.3846t^{2} }{2}

Explanation:

The only horizontal force exerts over the car and you, it is the force that your friend is applied

Newton's Second Law of Motion defines the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass, thus

\sum{F} = ma

        550 = 1430a

            a = 0.3846 m/s2

             

The car and you have a motion under constant acceleration, then theirs position to a time-based is:

x(t) = x_{0} + v_{0}t +\frac{at^{2} }{2}

By the initial conditions

x(t) = \frac{at^{2} }{2}

x(t) = \frac{0.3846t^{2} }{2}

The time depends on the distance that they have to travel

The total lifetime of the Sun is about 10 billion years, from when it was born to when it dies, and the half-life of 238U is 4.5
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a little less than 6 micrograms

Explanation:

The half-life of an element is defined as the time in which half of the isotope emits its radiation and becomes a different element. Therefore after 4.5 billion years the meteoroid will contain 12 micrograms of uranium,  after 9 billion years will contain 6 micrograms. After 10 billion years will contain a little less than 6 micrograms.
