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.

A battery derives electric energy from _____energy?
sammy [17]
A). nuclear
No.  There were batteries long long before we learned
how to use nuclear energy.  Also, there is no danger of
exposure to radioactivity when you're working with a battery.

b). mechanical
No.  A battery has no moving parts.

c). gravitational
No.  No matter how high you take a battery in an airplane, or
how far you lower it into a mine-shaft, its characteristics don't
change.  In fact, batteries even work on things that are in orbit.

d). chemical
Bingo.

Phil is riding a scooter and pushes off the ground with his foot. this causes him to accelerate at 12 m /s. Phil weighs 600 N. h
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

734.16 kg m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The problem is asking for the Force of pushing off the ground.

  • The formula of Force is: F = mass x acceleration

Given = <em>Mass</em>: 600 newtons (N)

             <em>Acceleration</em>: 12 m/s^{2}

We have to convert the mass into kg first. Remember that <u>1 kg is equal to 9.80665 newtons.</u>

Let x be the<em> mass in newtons</em>.

Let's convert: \frac{1 kg}{9.80665 N} x \frac{x}{600 N} = \frac{600}{9.80665} = 61.18 kg

Phil's weight is 61.18 kg

Let's go back to finding the force.

F = m x a

F = 61.18 kg x 12 m/s^{2}

F = 734.16 kg m/s^{2}
