Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

Marina CMI [18]

The object would have a centripetal acceleration a of

a = (12 m/s)² / (0.7 m) ≈ 205.714 m/s²

so that the required tension in the string would be

T = (0.5 kg) a ≈ 102.857 N ≈ 100 N

Answer:

hope this helps you :)

Explanation:

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to another object. To decide if you are moving, you can use your chair as a reference point. A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.

66.7 Watts

Explanation:

Let $R_{1}=1.0$ ohms, $R_{2}=3.0$ ohms and $R_{3}=6.0\:$ ohms. Since $R_{2}$ and $R_{3}$ are in parallel, their combined resistance $R_{23}$ is given by
