Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

now plug in all data into above equation

$5(v) + 3(3)$

$5v = -9$

$v = -1.8 m/s$

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

svlad2 [7]

If current is passed through two parallel conductors in the same direction and the conductors are placed near each other, they will attract each other.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current can be defined as the flow of electrons.

Since electrons are easily removed from atom and are very mobile, the flow of electrons constitute an electric current.

Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are known as conductors. Examples of conductors are metals, and electrolytes.

On the other hand, materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are known as insulators. Examples of insulators are wood and rubber.

The flow of current is known as electricity.

Parallel conductors with current flowing through them in the same direction are attracted to each other as a result of a magnetic field produced by the flow of current.

In conclusion, conductors allow electric current to pass through and the flow of current through a conductor produces a magnetic field.

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre

Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

$R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega$

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

Using the formula

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

$R=\frac{4}{3}\Omega$

$V=IR$

Substitute the values

$V=12\times \frac{4}{3}=16 V$

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{16}{4}=4 A$

$I_1=I_2=I_3=4 A$

Hence, current flows through any one of the resistors is 4 A.

A skateboarder who travels 60 meters in 30 seconds has a speed of

natulia [17]

2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 60m

time taken = 30seconds

Unknown:

Speed of skateboarder = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time taken. It is a scalar quantity that only revers magnitude;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Speed = $\frac{60}{30}$ = 2m/s

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.99x10^8 m/s. calculate its speed in miles per hour.

34kurt

You'll never get the correct answer without the correct conversion factor. Note carefully that you have no decimal. It should be
1 km = 0.6214 miles 
1000 m = 1 km 
60 seconds = 1 minute 
60 minutes = 1 hour. 
2.998E8 m/s x (1 km/1000m) x (0.6214 miles/km) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/hr) = ?
