Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)

Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

Amy swims 500 m (0.5 Km) in 6 minutes (0.1 hour). What was her speed in Kilometers per hour? A. 8.3 Km/hr B. 5 Km/hr C. 50 Km/hr

kondor19780726 [428]

Speed = Distance ÷ Time so divide .5 km by .1h. .5 km÷.1h=5 km/h, so the answer is B. 5km/h.

Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kg*m/, and block B is -150 kg*m/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A1}$ = $-100\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B = $p_{B1}$ = $-150\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

After collision:

Momentum of block A = $p_{A2}$ = $-200\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision $p_{B2}$ .

$p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}$

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

$-100-150=-200+p_{B2}$

$-250=-200+p_{B2}$

Adding 200 to both sides.

$200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200$

$-50=p_{B2}$

∴ $p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

Momentum of block B after collision = $-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}$

If an object were released in space far away from planted or stars and given an initial momentum, describe what would happen to

mamaluj [8]

Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
