How is the direction of current defined by convention

Physics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

The magnitude of the force associated with the gravitational field is constant and has a value FF . A particle is launched from
uysha [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀

Explanation:

Given that,

A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.

Constant force = 12F

According to question,

The kinetic energy is

U_{0}=Fx....(I)

Constant force = 12F

A resistive force field is now set up ,

Resistive force is given by,

F_{r}=12F

When the particle moves from point B to point A then,

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula for kinetic energy

U=F_{r}x

Put the value of F_{r}

U=12Fx

Now, from equation (I)

U=12U_{0}

Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9
kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2

or

2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2

or

4V_1^2= V_2^2

or

2V_1= V_2  .................(1)

also,

\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)

or

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

or

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s

Hence,

Speed of car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Describe how one plays Dr.Dogeball​
JulsSmile [24]
•To play Dr. Dodgeball you need to have 2 teams to verse each other.
•Next, select one person from each team to be the doctor (depending on the size of the teams you can have varying amounts of doctors)
•Continue to play dodgeball how you normally would
•When a player gets hit and is “out” they have to sit on the ground and wait for the doctor to “revive them” (this usually requires the doctor dragging,touching, or moving the player that is out to a “revival place” which is usually decided on by the advisor or person in charge.
•Finally, try to get all the doctors and players out from the other team. Get the doctors first, for they cannot revive themselves. Which means the other players are out after they get hit with a ball since the doctors are out. (Some games are played where if all doctors are out the game ends)
Hope this helped! Play on! And plz mark brainliest lol this was long to write :D

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the <u>bottle.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2 are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

In a lab, four balls have the same velocities but different masses.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

New Momentum of Ball B=13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass of Ball A=1kg

Mass of Ball B= 2kg

Mass of Ball C=5kg

Mass of Ball D=7kg

Velocities of A=B=C=D=2.2\frac{m}{s}

Momentum of Ball A=2.2\frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball B=4.4 \frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball C=11\frac{k g m}{s}

Momentum of Ball D=15\frac{k g m}{s}

To Find:

Change in Momentum When of Ball B gets tripled

Solution:

Though all balls have same velocity, thus we get

Velocities of A=B=C=D=2.2\frac{m}{s}

Initial Momentum of Ball B=4.4\frac{k g m}{s}

If the Mass of Ball B gets tripled;

We get New Mass of Ball B=3×Actual Mass of the ball

                                            =3×2=6kg

Thus we get Mass of Ball B=6kg

According to the formula,  

Change in momentum of Ball B \Delta p=m \times \Delta v

Where \Delta p=change in momentum

          m=mass of the ball B

         \Delta v=change in velocity ball B

And \Delta v=v, since all balls, have same velocity

Thus the above equation, changes to

         \Delta p=m \times v

Substitute all the values in the above equation we get

         \Delta p=6 \times 2.2

                     =13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}  

Result:

 Thus the New Momentum of ball B=13.2 \frac{\mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}
