Answer:

The electric field can cause the electrons to move around. Through this influence on electrons, we can give a net direction to the motion of the electrons. This is how we generate an electric current

A conductor is an object that conducts electricity through it, the mechanism of conduction of electricity is that, the electrons present in the atoms of the conductor are in rapid motion, and when we apply some potential difference across it by using cell, battery or anything, it causes those electrons to move in a particular direction and we know electrons have negative charge on it which , so the movement of charge ( electrons ) through a conductor causes electric current.

So, from above we conclude that conduction of electric current through a conductor is only possible due to free electrons present in the conductor's atoms.

What must be the pressure difference between the two ends of a 2.6 km section of pipe, 36 cm in diameter, if it is to transport

ad-work [718]

Answer: $1.13(10)^{3} Pa$

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the following equation:

$\Delta P=\frac{8 \eta L Q}{\pi r^{4}}$

Where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe

$\eta=0.20 Pa.s$ is the viscosity of oil

$L=2.6 km=2600 m$ is the length of the pipe

$Q=900 \frac{cm^{3}}{s} \frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}=0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$ is the Rate of flow of the fluid

$d=36 cm=0.36 m$ is the diameter of the pipe

$r=\frac{d}{2}=0.18 m$ is the radius of the pipe

Soving for $\Delta P$ :

$\Delta P=\frac{8 (0.20 Pa.s)(2600 m)(0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s})}{\pi (0.18 m)^{4}}$

Finally:

$\Delta P=1135.26 Pa \approx 1.13(10)^{3} Pa$

rickey approaches third base. He dives head first, hitting the ground at 6.75 m/s and reaching the base at 5.91 m/s in 2.5 secon

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

15.825 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.75 m/s

v = Final velocity = 5.91 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{5.91-6.75}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.336\ m/s^2$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.91^2-6.75^2}{2\times -0.336}\\\Rightarrow s=15.825\ m$

The distance Rickey slides across the ground before touching the base is 15.825 m

A sound wave of 70 cm travels 840 m in 2.5 sec. What is the velocity and frequency of sound?

Darya [45]

-- Speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance) = 840/2.5 = 336 m/s

-- Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 336/0.70 = 480 Hz.

A=(v – u)/t<br><br> i. V as subject<br> ii. U as subject<br> iii. T as subject

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$a = \frac{(v - u)}{t} \\ v - u = at \\ v = at + u$

ii.

$a = \frac{(v - u)}{t} \\ v - u = at \\ u = v - at$

iii.

$a = \frac{(v - u)}{t} \\ ta = v - u \\ t = \frac{(v - u)}{a}$

I hope I helped you^_^

The distance between two successive crests of a certain transverse wave is 1.40 m. 25 crests pass a given point along the direct

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: 2.82m/s

Explanation:

Wave speed(v) is the product of the frequency (f) of a wave and its wavelength (¶)

V = f¶

Since wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or trough, the wavelength given is 1.40m i.e ¶ = 1.40m

If the total crest is 25, this means that 25 oscillations occurs in 12.4s.

Since the number of oscillation made in one second is the frequency, frequency = 25/12.4 = 2.01cycle/seconds

Speed of the wave v = 2.01×1.4

V =

Wave speed is 2.82m/s
