Answer: An electric circuit is a representation of how current moves from the source of the current( example a battery or a cell) through resistors and other devices before entering the source.

Explanation:

The two important types of electrical circuit includes:

--> open circuit and

--> closed circuit.

A circuit is said to be open when the electrical source, such as the battery or the cell, is not connected to any external conductor (or resistance). In this situation, any voltmeter connected across the terminal of the cell measures the total driving force of the cell.

In this type of circuit, current cannot flow from one end of power source to the other due to interruptions.

A circuit is said to be closed if the source of electricity is connected to an external conductor through which current is passed.

In a closed circuit, there is complete electrical connection which allows current to flow or circulate. Here, part of the total driving force of the source is used to drive current through the external resistance and the difference is used to overcome the internal resistance of the battery.

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper. Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely. Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho

kap26 [50]

So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)

How are the planets sizes related to their surface gravity

dexar [7]

Answer:

The surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet

Explanation:

The gravity at the surface of a planet is given by:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

We see from the formula that the surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet, R.

At the Earth's surface, the value of the surface gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

d) g/2

Explanation:

We need to use one of Newton's equations of motion to find the position of the stone at any time t.

x(t) = x₀(t) + ut - ¹/₂at²

Where

x₀(t) = initial position of the stone.

x(t) - x₀(t) = distance traveled by the stone at any time.

u = initial velocity of the stone

a = acceleration of the stone

t = time taken

On both planets, before the stone was thrown by the astronaut, x = 0 and t = 0.

=> 0 = x₀(t)

=> x₀(t) = 0

On earth, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut at time T on earth, x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + uT - ¹/₂gT² (a = g)

=> uT = ¹/₂gT²

=> g = 2u/T

On planet X, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut, time = 2T , x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + u(2T) - ¹/₂a(2T)²

=> 2uT = 2aT²

=> a = u/T

By comparing we see that a = g/2.
