How is the direction of current defined by convention

1 answer:

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.

What are examples of a solution in solids, liquids, and gases

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Solid: metal alloy

Liquid: beer

Gas: Air

Explanation:

A solution is a type of mixture where the solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed. Homogeneous mixture means that the solute shouldn't be able to be seen with the naked eye, filtered and stable enough.

Metal alloy will be an example of a solution in solid-state. Beer is a solution made of liquid alcohol and liquid water. Air mostly composed of nitrogen, but it has oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other substances in gaseous form.

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De

gayaneshka [121]

We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
$F=T-W$
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
$a= \frac{F}{m}$
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
$F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N$
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
$W=mg$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
$m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg$

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.

"State the process that divides one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei"

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Mitosis</em>

Explanation:

Mitosis: Mitosis is a cell or nuclear division following the duplicate of the chromosomes, whereby each daughter cell or nucleus has exactly the same chromosomes content as the parent. In other words, mitosis is a cell division in which daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis takes place during organism's growth, development, and asexual reproduction. in plants mitosis takes place in the terminal bud of the shoot at the tip of the roots and shoots. In animal mitosis occur at growth centres which are everywhere.

Mitosis produce diploid number, in order word, the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell of an organism is called the diploid number (2n)

Example of mitosis is the multiplication of the skin covering a child's body during growth
