Which statement best explains the movement of electric current from the clouds to the ground during a lightning storm?

Answer:

A. 0.23 ms⁻²

Explanation:

Using the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

where:

v = final velocity (85 kmh⁻¹  =  85 x 0.278 = 23.6 ms⁻¹)

u = initial velocity (0 ms⁻¹)

a = acceleration (? ms⁻²)

s = displacement (1.20 km  =  1.2 x 1000  =  1200 m),

[tex](23.6)^2 = (0)^2 + 2 (a) (1200)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]a = \frac{23.6^2}{2(1200)}[/tex]

⇒ a = 0.23 ms⁻²

Hello!

1.

To solve, we can use the work-energy theorem.

Initially, the rod is at rest. Its center of mass is some height above the surface, so it contains gravitational potential energy.

Finally, the rod has rotational kinetic energy.

To find the initial energy, we have to find where the center of mass is. It is located at the midpoint of the rod, or l/2. To find its height above, though, we have to find its sine component with respect to the angle:
[tex]E_i = mg{\frac{l}{2}}}sin(\theta)[/tex]

Its final energy:
[tex]E_f = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2[/tex]

About the pivot point, a rod's moment of inertia (I) is 1/3ml².

[tex]E_f = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{3}ml^2) = \frac{1}{6}ml^2\omega^2[/tex]

Now, solving for angular speed:

[tex]E_i = E_f\\\\mg\frac{l}{2}sin\theta = \frac{1}{6}ml^2 \omega^2\\\\3gsin\theta = l\omega^2 \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3gsin\theta}{l}}[/tex]

Plugging in the values and solving:
[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{3(9.8)sin(70.4)}{2.1}} = \boxed{3.63 rad/s}[/tex]

Let's determine where to place our pivot point. To minimize the number of torques to take into account, let's put the pivot point at the base of the rod.

Now, the only torque we must consider is that produced by the force of gravity.

Recall the equation for torque:
[tex]\tau = r \times F[/tex]

This is a cross-product, where 'r' is the lever arm of the force. This is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and the pivot point.

In this instance, based on our reference angle, this would be the COSINE.

[tex]\tau = rFcos\theta[/tex]

r = distance from pivot point to center of the rod (1.05 m)

F = Force of gravity, mg (19.03 N)

θ = angle of rod from horizontal

Using the rotational equivalent of Newton's Second Law:
[tex]I\alpha = rFcos\theta[/tex]

'I' is the rod's moment of inertia about the pivot point. For a uniform rod, its moment of inertia at its end is 1/3ml².

Therefore:
[tex]I = \frac{1}{3}(1.94)(2.1^2) = 2.85 kgm^2[/tex]

Now, we can solve for the function for angular acceleration.

[tex]\alpha(\theta) = \frac{rF}{I}cos\theta\\\\\alpha(\theta) = \frac{(1.05)(19.03)}{2.85}cos\theta = 7cos\theta[/tex]

This is the angular acceleration of the rod as a function of theta.

Substituting in θ = 0°:
[tex]\alpha(0) = 7cos(0) = \boxed{7 rad/s^2}[/tex]

**Note, we couldn't just use rotational kinematics because the angular acceleration is NOT constant.

The specific gravity of the object’s material is 5.09.

Weight difference = 9 - 7.2 = 1.8 N = Buoyant force of water

Buoyant Force in water(Fb) = density of water x g x volume of the   body(Vb)

1.8 = 1000 x 9.81 x Vb

Vb = 1.8/9810 cubic meter

Now, in the air;

Weight of body = mg = 9 N

Mass of body,m = 9/9.81 Kg

So,

Density of body = m/ Vb

= 9/9.81 ÷ 1.8/9810

= 5094.44 kg per cubic meter

The specific gravity of body = density of body ÷ density of water

(a)The acceleration of the 1,400-kg boat will be 0.425 m/sec²

(b) If it starts from rest, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s will be 85 m.

(c)Velocity at the end of that time will be 8.5 m/sec.

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

Given data;

Forwad force acting on the boat,v₁ = 1,800-N

Resistive force acting on the boat,v₂ = 1,200-N

The acceleration of the boat,a

Mass of boat,m = 1,400-kg

Initial velocity of boat,u= 0 m/sec

Distance travelled by boat,S = ?

Time for the boat travels,t = 20.0 s

Final velocity,V = ? m/sec

The net force on the boat;

F = F₁ - F₂

F = 1800 N - 1200 N

F = 600 N

From the defination of force;

F= ma

a = F / m

a = 600 N / 1400 kg

a = 0.425 m/sec²

b)

The distance through which the boat moves is 20.0 s;

[tex]\rm x_f = x_ 0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f = \frac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\ x_f = 0+0 + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.425 \times (20 )^ 2 \\\\ x_f = 85 \ m[/tex]

c)

The velocity at the end of that time is found as;

[tex]\rm v_f = v_ 0 + at \\\\ v_f =- 0+ at \\\\ v_f = 8.5[/tex] m/sec

Hence the acceleration of the boat, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s, and velocity at the end of that time will be 0.425 m/sec²,85 m, and 8.5 m/sec.

Considering the Coulomb's Law, the force between the two ballons is 9.216×10⁻⁸ N.

Charged bodies experience a force of attraction or repulsion on approach.

From Coulomb's Law it is possible to predict what the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two particles will be according to their electric charge and the distance between them.

From Coulomb's Law, the electric force with which two point charges at rest attract or repel each other is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

[tex]F=k\frac{Qq}{d^{2} }[/tex]

where:

The force is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and repulsive if they are of the same sign.

In this case, you know that two balloons have a negative charge of 1.6×10⁻¹⁰ C and the balloons are 0.05 m apart.

When a circuit is connected in series resistance is calculated by :

Here,

As a circuit contains three resistors. So R1 , R2 and R3 would be :

Now,

>> Rs = 10 + 10 + 10

>> Rs = 30 Ω

Therefore,

The equivalent resistance in the circuit is 30.0 Ω. The correct option is D.

Ohm's law is a fundamental principle of electric circuits that describes the relationship between electric current, voltage, and resistance. It states that the electric current flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.

Mathematically,

V = IR

Where V = is the voltage across the conductor in volts (V),

I =  is the electric current flowing through the conductor in amperes (A),

R =is the resistance of the conductor in ohms (Ω).

This relationship can also be expressed in terms of power, using the formula:

P = VI

Where P = is the power in watts (W),

V = is the voltage in volts (V),

I = is the current in amperes (A).

Ohm's law is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who first published it in 1827 as a result of his experiments with electric circuits. Ohm's law is widely used in electrical engineering and is essential for understanding and designing electronic devices and circuits.

Here in this question,

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is the sum of their individual resistances.

Now, the equivalent resistance of three 10.0 Ω resistors connected in series is:

Req = R1 + R2 + R3

Req= 10.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω

Req= 30.0 Ω

Using Ohm's law, we can find the current flowing through the circuit:

I = V/R

= 6.0 V/30.0 Ω

I = 0.2 A

Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is 30.0 Ω (Option D).

v = 1.43 m/s

θ = arc tan(vy/vx)

θ = arc tan (1.25/0.7)

θ = 60.8⁰

Thus, the speed of the second ball after impact is 1.43 m/s at 60.8⁰.

Boiling points are raised by hydrogen bonds because they make different molecules desire to "attach" to one another, which requires more energy to do so. In water, for instance, the hydrogen proton is in a state that resembles ionization because the connections between oxygen and hydrogen, while covalent, are strongly polar. The oxygen also receives a partial negative charge. Therefore, hydrogen bonds are formed when the electro-positive H in one molecule is strongly electrostatically attracted to the electro-negative O in nearby molecules. Despite being weak links, they are powerful enough to significantly alter the liquid's characteristics.
