Physics

Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. ... The energy is transferred to the electrical components in a circuit when the charge carriers pass through them. We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).

Answer:

This ability of charged particles to do work is called an electric potential.

Explanation:

When two negative charges are brought close to each other, they also repel. But when a positive and a negative charge are brought close together, they attract each other. When these two opposite charges are combined, they can be used to work. This is why we need a positive (+) and a negative (–) to light a bulb or run any electrical tool, equipment, mobile phone or home appliance.

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the eq
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min

Explanation:

Given;

Boyle's law,  PV = C

where;

P is pressure of the gas

V is volume of the gas

C is constant

Differentiate this equation using product rule:

V\frac{dp}{dt} +P\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d(C)}{dt}

Given;

\frac{dP}{dt} (increasing pressure rate of the gas) = 40 kPa/min

V (volume of the gas) =  600 cm³

P (pressure of the gas) = 150 kPa

Substitute in these values in the differential equation above and calculate the rate at which the volume is decreasing ( \frac{dv}{dt});

(600 x 40) + (150 x \frac{dv}{dt}) = 0

\frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{(600*40)}{150} = -160 \ cm^3/min

Therefore, the volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
