Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in:
amperes
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
Solve 2 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42
Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
2 + (5 + 2) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42
P: 2 + (7) ÷ 5 x 3 - 42
E: 2 + 7 ÷ 5 x 3 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 3 - 16
MD: 2 + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{10}{5} \) + \( \frac{21}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{31}{5} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{31 - 80}{5} \)
\( \frac{-49}{5} \)
-9\(\frac{4}{5}\)
The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
potential
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Which of the following will increase the mechanical advantage of this inclined plane?
lengthen the ramp
The mechanical advantage (MA) of an inclined plane is the effort distance divided by the resistance distance. In order to increase mechanical advantage, this ratio must increase which means making the effort distance longer and this can be accomplished by lengthening the length of the ramp.
Connecting the 8 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 72V 15A configuration. Connecting the 8 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yieleding a 9V 120A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 4 batteries can be connected in series and 4 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 36V 60A configuration.
