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 change of motion of a body is proportional to the applied force, and it takes place in the direction of a straight line in w
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion  

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the change in velocity of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it. Velocity is a vector quantity. It measures the magnitude of the speed as well as its direction.

F = m a

where, F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

It can also be expressed as:

F = \frac{dp}{dt}

where, p = mv ( momentum)

A train of mass 320000 kg accelerate uniformly from rest. It takes 57 s to travel a distance of 810 m in a straight line. Find t
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

160,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 320,000 kg

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = constant

t = 57 s

Δx = 810 m

Find: Fnet

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

Fnet = ma

To find Fnet, we must first find the acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

810 m = 0 m + (0 m/s) (57 s) + ½ a (57 s)²

a = 0.50 m/s²

Fnet = (320,000 kg) (0.50 m/s²)

Fnet = 160,000 N
