"Calculate the charge that flows past a point in a circuit with a 5.0A current for five minutes."

A: Since: I = Q/tTherefore: Q = I/tThe data that we have: I = 5 A                        &n...

"what causes an object in friction with a surface to become negatively charged?"

A: In order to understand where this negative surface charge is coming from, we have to first understand the concept of friction. When two surfaces are in conta...

what is a half life of a substance and how can you work it out.

A: The half life of a radioactive substance is the time taken for a specific sample to decay by half. This is equivalent to the time taken for the same substanc...

"A plane is entering a turn, identify the main forces acting on it (including central forces)"

A: There are three main forces acting on a plane that has just begun to enter a turn:1.  WeightWeight is the gravitational force acting on the plane by vir...

"Describe the transfers of energy occurring when a ball is thrown vertically up in the air and falls back down to Earth, assuming there is no friction from the air."

A: Assuming there’s no friction in air is us assuming that no energy is being converted to an irreversible form of energy like heat. In that regard, for a ball...

What is the structure of atoms

A: The structure of the atom is modelled around what we call the “Planetary Model”, suggested by Rutherford. It was a remarkable move in the atom’s world, becau...

"The speed of light is 3.0 × 10^8 m/s. The wavelength of yellow light is 5.8 × 10^−7 m. Calculate the frequency of yellow light. State the unit."

A: To find the frequency, we will use the formula for wave speed:Now we will plug in the values:Twe have is s-1, or the Hertz (Hz). It helps quantify the number...

Why do Physicists take multiple readings in experiments?

A: Taking multiple readings in experiments helps physicists avoid what we call random errors. These are the kinds of errors that are generated in experimental d...

"Describe one method by which the distance to stars from Earth is measured, and one modern improvement to this method which increases its accuracy."

A: One common method used to measure the distance of stars from the Earth is Stellar Parallax. Here, we measure our chosen star’s apparent movement relative to...
