The cause of electric current in a wire is that there is electron flow due to electrical attraction and repulsion.

What is Electric current?

The rate of flow of electric charge through a point is known as electric current. The electric current is nothing but the flow of electrons in general.

Consider a space, when electrons of charge (e) is flowing through the space in a given time interval t. Then,

I = e/t

here,

I is the electric current.

Moreover, there is a flow of electrons in a wire due to a potential difference existing at the circuit. Due to that, electrons always flow from high electric potential to low electric potential.

Thus, we can conclude that the cause of electric current in a wire is that there is electron flow due to electrical attraction and repulsion.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc
zvonat [6]

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.

A trumpet creates a sound wave that has a wave speed of 350m/s and a wavelength of 0.8 m . What is the frequency of the sound wa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Explanation:

Given

the speed of sound wave = 350 ms^{-1}

the wavelength of sound wave = 0.8 m

the frequency of sound wave = ?

All the waves have same relationship among wavelength, frequency and speed, which is given by the equation:

v = fλ, where

v is speed of the wave

f is frequency of the wave

λ is wavelength of the wave

therefore frequency of sound wave is given by

f = v/λ

 = 350ms^{-1}/0.8m

 = 437.5s^{-1}

 = 437.5Hz (since 1 s^{-1} = 1 Hz (Hertz)

Hence the frequency of sound wave created by trumpet is 437.5Hz

Pls someone I need it urgently and explain Solving and explanation so I can understand Thank you
Temka [501]

Answer:

   f = 6.37 Hz,       T = 0.157 s

Explanation:

The expression you have is

       y = 5 sin (3x - 40t)

this is the equation of a traveling wave, the general form of the expression is

      y = A sin (kx - wt)

where A is the amplitude of the motion, k the wave vector and w the angular velocity

Angle velocity and frequency are related

         w = 2π f

         f = w / 2π

from the equation w = 40 rad / s

        f = 40 / 2π

        f = 6.37 Hz

frequency and period are related

       f = 1 / T

       T = 1 / f

       T = 1 / 6.37

       T = 0.157 s
