Answer:

B - Person A's chair rolls backwards.

Explanation:

This can be seen simply through the Conservation of Momentum. When the ball is thrown to be, the ball's momentum(+m) is transfererd to B, so B's chair moves forward(think about it - it makes sense, doesn't it?), meaning A's chair moves backwards.

So, B.

What is the monthly cost of using a 750 W refrigerator that runs for 8 hours every day, if the cost per kWh is $0.23?
disa [49]

Answer:

Assuming there are 28 days in each month,

750W = 0.75kW

Cost of electric bill = 0.75 × 8 × 28 × $0.23

                               = $38.64

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.

А geostationary satellite moves in an orbit of radius 6300km. Calculate the speed with which it moves in the orbit [π=22÷7]​
azamat

Answer:

15.3 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of orbit= 6400+6300 = 12700 km

Circumference of orbit= 2*(22/7)*12700 =79796.45*10^3 m

Now,

       Speed= Distance / Time

                  = 79796.45*10^3/(24*60*3600)

                  = 15.3 m/s

What is stopping distance of a body at 20 m/s is decelerated at 2m/s² to rest?<br>​
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

s = 100 m

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 20²) / 2(-2)

s = 100 m
