What is an electric circuit is and why/how an electric switch is able to stop and start

Physics
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A continuous and closed path of an electric current is called an electric circuit. An electric circuit consists of electric devices, a source of electricity and wires that are connected with the help of a switch.

Explanation:

All switches do the same thing: Connect wires to allow electric current to flow or disconnect wires to stop electric current from flowing. ... With the switch in the closed position, you've connected the wire (and completed the circuit), and current can flow.

In how many places did the object stop moving? How do you know?
scZoUnD [109]

Explanation:

The object stops moving in 5 places (namely B, D, F, H, and position after 28 seconds which isn't marked ).

We know that the object has stopped moving, since its position does not change with the passage of time i.e. at rest.

A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a speed of 17.5 m/s. The building is 31.5 m tall. Ignoring air resistan
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The speed with which the pebble strikes the ground is 30.4m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 17.5m/s, height (h) = 31.5m, acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8m/s^2

V^2 = u^2 + 2gh = 17.5^2 + 2×9.8×31.5 = 306.25 + 617.4 = 923.65

V^2 = 923.65

V = √923.65 = 30.4m/s

The temperature of a plastic cube is monitored while the cube is pushed 3.4 m across a floor at constant speed by a horizontal f
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

\Delta E_{floor} = 51 J

Explanation:

The work (W) done on the cube to be pushed across the floor is equal to the total thermal energy (ΔE) of the system:        

W = \Delta E_{T} = \Delta E_{cube} + \Delta E_{floor} (1)

Also, the work done on the cube by the horizontal force is giving by:

W = F \cdot d (2)  

<em>where F: force applied to the cube , d: displacement of the cube     </em>    

<em>By equaling the equations (1) and (2)</em>, we can find the thermal energy of the floor:  

\Delta E_{cube} + \Delta E_{floor} = F \cdot d

\Delta E_{floor} = F \cdot d - \Delta E_{cube}

\Delta E_{floor} = 20 N \cdot 3.4 m - 17 J  

\Delta E_{floor} = 51 J

 

So, the increase in the thermal energy of the floor is 51 J.  

Have a nice day!

Describe the conditions necessary for equilibrium on a balance.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A body under concurrent forces (concurrent forces are forces with their line of action acting at a point) is said to be in equilibrium if the sum total of the forces acting on the body is zero.

For forces acting on a balance, the sum of upward forces and the downward forced acting on the balance must be equal for the balance to be in equilibrium.

Also the sum of clockwise moment must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment acting on the balance.

Moment is the product of force and the perpendicular distance from the force to the pivot.
