(D)Voltmeter measures the potential difference
Mademuasel [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Is less in comparison with the rest of the Earth.

Explanation:

In poles now we have the magnetic centers of the planet, this will make that the magnetic field that is produced, can protect the planet from the radiation of cosmos. Magnetic field is also responsible of getting together the ionized particles that come from universe and they are ions, in this way they appear as an  a boreal or austral aurora.

A speedboat travels from the dock to the first buoy, a distance of 20 meters, in 18 seconds. It began the trip at a speed of 0 m
castortr0y [4]
Distance=20m
time=18s
Initial velocity=0m/s
Final velocity=10m/s

The equation we use to find average velocity is v=d/t (average velocity=distance/time)

V=20m/18s
V (average velocity)=1.11m/s

A 1000-kg car is moving at 40.0 km/hr when the driver slams on the brakes and skids to a stop (with locked brakes) over a distan
liq [111]

Answer:

 skid distance = 180 m  

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 1000 Kg

speed of the car = 40 Km/hr

distance to stop = 20 m

if speed is now = 120 Km/he

distance to stop = ?

from given question we can state that,

Work done by the friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car.

       W= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2............(1)

And we also know that work is directly proportional to displacement

               W = F × x...........................(2)

from the equation (1) and (2)

        x ∝ v²

now,

   here velocity is increased from 40 km/h to 120 km/h means velocity is increase 3 times

so displacement will be equal to 3² or 9 times

hence, skid distance will be equal to 9 x 20 = 180 m

 skid distance = 180 m

Find the time it takes for an object dropped from a building and reaches a final velocity of 20 m/s downward?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = at

t = v/a

t = 20 m/s / 9.8 m/s²

t = 2.0408163...
