Answer:

Wave theory of light explains the phenomena of interference, diffraction, scattering, dispersion, polarisation etc. Complete solution: Around 1700, it was concluded by Newton that light was a group of particles. It was called corpuscular theory.

When a current is passed through plasma and that current is increased will the temperature of the plasma increase . if it does t

Delicious77 [7]

The temperature of the plasma will increase as current is passed through it.

<h3>Meaning of Current and temperature</h3>

Current can be defined as a flow of charged particles through a medium and the particles includes: electrons or ions.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness experienced by a material.

The more current passes through the plasma the more energy is induced making the particles to move faster which in turns causes temperature to increase and reducing the resistance of the plasma.

In conclusion, The current causes temperature to increase and this reduces the resistance.

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where we have

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for $\omega_f$ , we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s$

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

$t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}$

where here we have

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\omega_f=0$ is the final angular speed

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

$t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s$

A driver is traveling eastward on a dirt road when she spots a pothole ahead. She slows her car from 14.0 m/s to 5.5 m/s in 6.0

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

- 1.42m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/time

Since she slows her car from 14.0 to 5.5m/s in 6seconds,

Initial velocity = 14m/s

Final velocity = 5.5m/s

Time = 6seconds

Substituting in the given formula, we will have

Acceleration = 5.5 - 14/6

Acceleration = - 8.5/6

Acceleration = - 1.42m/s²

The negative acceleration shows that the car decelerates.

Hydroelectric plants use __________ to produce electricity. A. fire B. sunlight C. water D. wind

xz_007 [3.2K]

"Hydro..." means "water". Hydroelectric plants use the kinetic energy
of falling water to produce electrical energy.

I wouldn't exactly say that they "use water", because after they produce
the electrical energy, there's still just as much water as there was before.
