Yes. A roulette ball circulating in a spinning wheel, a car going around a curved
road at 30 mph, and a planet in a circular orbit are all being accelerated.
"Acceleration" does NOT mean "speeding up". It means any change in the
speed or DIRECTION of motion.
Answer:
When a positive charged object is placed near a conductor electrons are attracted the the object. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side. As you know, electrons are always moving. They spin very quickly around the nucleus of an atom. As the electrons zip around, they can move in any direction, as long as they stay in their shell.

Answer:
<em>8hours 45minutes</em>
Explanation:
Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = heat gained by the water.
Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = Power * Time
heat gained by the water. = mcΔt
m is the mass of the water in kg
c is the specific heat capacity
Δt is the change in temperature
Given parameters
Power = 5kW = 5000W
mass of water m = 500kg
c = 4200J/kgC
Δt = 100°C - 25°C = 75°C
Required
Time taken
Substituting the given parameters into the formula
Pt = mcΔt
5000t = 500*4200*75
5000t = 157,500,000
Divide both sides by 5000
t = 157,500,000/5000
t = 31,500 secs
t = (31,500/3600)hrs
t = 8.75hours
t = 8hours 45minutes
<em>Hence it takes 8hours 45minutes to heat 500 kg of water in the tank from 25c to 100c</em>

Answer:
Due to potential difference (elaborated in explanation)
Explanation:
When a bird sits on a power line, its whole body is in contact with the power line. It does not have any contact with the ground or anything at a lower potential. Hence, the current does not flow through the bird's body, because there is no potential difference available as a driving force.
Now, when a person touches the power line his hand is at a higher potential provided by the power line, while the rest of his body is connected to the ground, usually through legs. The current always looks for a path from high potential to low potential. Therefore, the body of the person serves as the path for the current. Heavy current flows through the body and the person dies within split seconds.
