define potential difference as used in electricity​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This ability of charged particles to do work is called an electric potential.

Explanation:

When two negative charges are brought close to each other, they also repel. But when a positive and a negative charge are brought close together, they attract each other. When these two opposite charges are combined, they can be used to work. This is why we need a positive (+) and a negative (–) to light a bulb or run any electrical tool, equipment, mobile phone or home appliance.

Answer 2

Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. ... The energy is transferred to the electrical components in a circuit when the charge carriers pass through them. We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).

A car with a mass of 1500 kg is pulled by a rope that is horizontal to the ground. The tension in the rope is 2000 N and a friction force of 350 N opposes the car's motion. What is the magnitude of the car's acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming the ground is level as well.

F = ma

a = F/m

a = (2000 - 350) / 1500

a = 1.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the car is 1.1 m/s².

To calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the car, we use the formula below.

F-F' = ma................ Equation 1

Where:

F = Tension in the ropeF' = Friction forcem = mass of the cara = acceleration of the car

Make a the subject of the equation

a = (F-F')/m................. Equation 2

From the equation,

Given:

F = 2000 NF' = 350 Nm = 1500 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = (2000-350)/1500a = 1650/1500a = 1.1 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the car is 1.1 m/s².

Two vectors P=40m/s and q=60mls are perpendicular to each other. Calculate the resultant force and the angle resultant make with either vectors

Answers

This question involves the concepts of the rectangular components of the vector and the resultant of the vectors.

The magnitude of the resultant force is "72.11 N", and it makes an angle of "33.7°" from one of the vectors.

The rectangular components of a vector are those components that have a right angle between them. The resultant of two rectangular components of a vector can be found using the following formula:

[tex]F = \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}[/tex]

where,

F = resultant force = ?

F₁ = First component of force = 40 N

F₂ = Second component of force = 60 N

Correction: The unit in question is given as m/s, while the unit of force is N. Hence, N is taken here.

Therefore,

[tex]F = \sqrt{(40\ N)^2+(60\ N)^2}[/tex]

F = 72.11 N

The following formula can be used to find the angle of resultant from 60N vector:

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{40\ N}{60\ N})\\\\[/tex]

θ = 33.7°

A trouble-making youth is standing on a bridge, and wants to drop a water balloon on an unsuspecting passerby. A man is jogging on a path below the bridge with a constant speed of 4.2 m/s. The bridge is 11.6 m above the ground. If the balloon is to land right at the jogger's feet, at what horizontal distance x from the bridge should he be when the youth drops the balloon?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Time needed for a balloon to drop from vertical rest a distance of 11.6 m

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(11.6)/9.8) = 1.538618

d = vt = 4.2(1.538618) = 6.462197...

d = 6.5 m

Horizontal distance x = 6.5 m from the bridge he should be when the youth drops the balloon with velocity 4.2 m/s.

What is velocity?

When an item is moving, its velocity is the rate at which its direction is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time.

Uniform motion an object is said to have uniform motion when object cover equal distance in equal interval of time within exact fixed direction. For a body in uniform motion, the magnitude of its velocity remains constant over time.

Given in the question time needed for a balloon to drop from vertical rest a distance of 11.6 m

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(11.6)/9.8) = 1.538618

d = vt = 4.2(1.538618) = 6.462197...

d = 6.5 m

Horizontal distance x = 6.5 m from the bridge he should  be when the youth drops the balloon with velocity 4.2 m/s.

A 220g mass is on a frictionless horizontal surface at the end of a spring that has a force constant of 7.0N/m The mass is displaced 5 2m from its equilibrium position and then released to undergo simple harmonic motion.
At what displacement from the equilibrium position is the potential energy equal to kinetic energy?​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Your numbers seem wonky, so I'll just assume that the initial displacement is a distance A (Amplitude) from the equilibrium position. Spring constant = k

Initial potential energy is

PE = ½kA²

As potential energy and kinetic energy are constantly exchanging in SHM,

the position x where half of the original spring potential exists is found where

½kx² = ½(½kA²)

    x² = ½A²

    x = (√0.5)A

    x ≈ 0.707A

just plug in your actual starting position A

With A = 5.2 cm

x = 3.67695... 3.7 cm

A closed, uninsulated system fitted with movable piston, so no matter is exchanged with the surroundings, was assembled. Introduction of 430 J of heat caused the system to expand, doing 238 J of work against a constant pressure of 101 kPa. What is the value of for this process

Answers

Answer: You do not specify what is being asked for. ∆E? ∆H?

∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

∆H = 430 J

Explanation:

If asked for the value of ∆H the answer is simply the change in heat, and in the question, it states introduction of 430 J of heat is causing the system to expand.

Therefore ∆H = 430 J

If asked for ∆E, we know that ∆E = ±q (heat) + work (-P∆V) = ±q + w

The question states that 238 J of work are done AND the system expanded

(work is negative because expansion means work is done BY the system, releasing energy/heat... Conversely, if the system were compressed, work is done ON the system, absorbing heat/energy)

Therefore, ∆E = (430 - 238) J = 192 J

The centripetal acceleration of the hummingbird is [tex]\frac{(3.65)^2}{0.25} = 53.29 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The given parameters;

time of motion of the hummingbird, t = 0.43 sradius of the circle, r = 0.25 mnumber of revolution of the hummingbird = 1 rev per 0.43 s

The angular speed of the hummingbird is calculated as follows;

v = 3.65 m/s

The centripetal acceleration of the hummingbird is calculated as follows;

[tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c = \frac{(3.65)^2}{0.25} \\\\a_c = 53.29\ m/s^2[/tex]

What describes the pressure in a contained fluid?
1: unknown as long as the fluid is contained
2: the same throughout the fluid
3: higher in some places and lower in other places

Answers

Answer:

3) higher in some places nd lower In other places

Explanation:

The pressure in a fluid is given by the law

p = p0 + pgh

where

p0 is the atmospheric pressure

p is the fluid's density

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the depth at which the pressure is calculated

As we see, the pressure depends on the value of h (depth): therefore, points which are located at more depth experience a larger pressure than points located near the fluid's surface.

We use the formula:

Note: velocity is speed in this question

Fill in values:
V= u + at
40= u + 4 x 5
40= u + 20
40 - 20 = u
u = 20m/s

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ 20 \ m/s }}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to find the initial speed of a car.

We are given the final speed, the time, and the acceleration, so we will use the following kinematic equation:

[tex]v_f=v_i+at[/tex]

We know the final speed is 40 meters per second, the acceleration is 4 meters per second squared, and the time is 5 seconds.

[tex]v_f[/tex]= 40 m/s t= 5 s a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]40 \ m/s = v_i+(4 \ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)[/tex]

Multiply inside the parentheses.

[tex]40 \ m/s =v_i+ 20 \ m/s[/tex]

We are solving for the initial speed, so we must isolate the variable [tex]v_i[/tex].  

20 meters per second is being added to [tex]v_i[/tex]. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtract 20 m/s from both sides of the equation.

[tex]40 \ m/s - 20 \ m/s = v_i + 20 \ m/s - 20 \ m/s[/tex]

[tex]40 \ m/s - 20 m/ s = v_i[/tex]

[tex]20 \ m/s=v_i[/tex]

The initial speed of the car is 20 meters per second and choice C is correct.
