The current flowing in the circuit can be found by applying Ohm's law:
V=IR
where
V is the voltage of the battery
I is the current flowing in the circuit
R is the resistance of the circuit

In our problem, V=12 V and R=2 \Omega, so if we re-arrange the previous equation and we use these data, we find the current in the circuit:
I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{12 V}{2 \Omega}=6 A

Therefore the correct answer is C).

When you throw a ball, the work you do to accelerate it equals the kinetic energy the ball gains. If you do twice as much work w
aniked [119]

Answer:

No. Twice as much work will give the ball twice as much kinetic energy. But since KE is proportional to the speed squared, the speed will be sqrt{2} times larger.

Explanation:

The work done on the ball is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the ball:

W=K

So when the work done doubles, the kinetic energy doubles as well:

2W = 2 K

However, the kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the ball

v is its speed

We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, v^2. We can rewrite the last equation as

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

which also means

v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}

If the work is doubled,

W'=2W

So the new speed is

v'=\sqrt{\frac{2(2W)}{m}}=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}=\sqrt{2} v

So, the speed is \sqrt{2} times larger.

A simple pendulum takes 2.20 s to make one compete swing. If we now triple the length, how long will it take for one complete sw
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Time taken for 1 swing = 3.81 second

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken for 1 swing = 2.20 Sec

Find:

Time taken for 1 swing , when triple the length(T2)

Computation:

Time taken for 1 swing = 2π[√l/g]

2.20 = 2π[√l/g].......Eq1

Time taken for 1 swing , when triple the length (3L)

Time taken for 1 swing = 2π[√3l/g].......Eq2

Squaring and dividing the eq(1) by (2)

4.84 / T2² = 1 / 3

T2 = 3.81 second

Time taken for 1 swing = 3.81 second

An electron and a proton are both released from rest, midway between the plates of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. The only
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the middle point and one of the plate be ΔV .

electric potential energy will be lost and it will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy lost = Vq , where q is charge on charge particle .

For proton

ΔV× q = 1/2 M V² ( kinetic energy of proton )

where M is mass and V be final velocity of proton .

For electron

ΔV× q = 1/2 m v² ( kinetic energy of electron  )

where m is mass and v be final velocity of electron . Charges on proton and electron are same in magnitude .

As LHS of both the equation are same , RHS will also be same . That means the kinetic energy of both proton and electron will be same

1/2 M V² =  1/2 m v²

(V / v )² = ( m / M )

(V / v ) = √ ( m / M )

In other words , their velocities  are  inversely proportional to square root of their masses .
