The Length of the thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.33 m.

<h3>What is length?</h3>

This can be defined as the distance between two point.

To calculate the length of the thundercloud, we use the formula below.

<h3> Formula: </h3>
  • E = V/L............ Equation 1

Where:

  • E = Electric field of the thundercloud
  • V = Potential difference
  • L = Length of the thundercloud.

Make L the subject of the equation

  • L = V/E............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 1×10⁸ V
  • E = 3×10⁶ V/m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • L = (1×10⁸)/(3×10⁶)
  • L = 100/3
  • L = 33.33 m

Hence, The Length of the thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.33 m.

Describe how varying the incline plane angle Affects the force
Greeley [361]

Answer: the force increases as the angle increases

Explanation:

If we assume the incline plane is frictionless, the only force acting on an object on the incline plane is the force of gravity:

F=mg

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity.

However, the actual force that makes the object sliding down along the incline is not the gravity itself, but the component of the force of gravity parallel to the surface of the incline, which is given by

F_p = mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the incline.

Therefore, we see that as the angle of the incline increases, the force on the object increases.

Why must the Moon travel more than a full orbit around the Earth for the full moon to be complete?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.07 meters above the ground. Later, an acorn f
ra1l [238]

Answer:

5.05 m

Explanation:

length of stick (L) = 1 m

distance from the top of the stick to the ground (d) = 2.07 m

time taken for corn to travel the length of the stick (t) = 0.121 s

acceleration due to gravity (a) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

we can get the distance in four stages.

  • Finding the velocity the corn was moving at from s=vt+0.5at^{2}

       where s = length of stick, t = time, a = acceleration due to gravity

       s=vt+0.5at^{2}

       1 = 0.121u + (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.121 x 0.121)

       1 = 0.121v +  0.0717

       1 - 0.0717 = 0.121v

       v = 7.67 m/s

  • Using the velocity above to find the time it took for the corn to fall to the top of the stick from the formula v = u + at' where:

       v = final velocity = 7.67 m/s

       u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since it was initially at rest

       a = acceleration due to gravity

       t' = time taken to fall to the top of the stick

        7.67 = 0 + (9.8 x t')

        t' = 7.67 / 9.8 = 0.78 s

  • using the time above to find the distance between the branch the corn falls from and the top of the stick using s=vt+0.5at^{2} where:

        s = distance

        v = initial velocity = 0 m/s since it was initially at rest

        t = time = 0.78 s

        a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8

        s = 0 + (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.78 x 0.78)

        s = 2.98 m

  • Add the distance between the branch the corn falls from and the top of the stick and the distance from the top of the stick to the ground.

        2.98 + 2.07 = 5.05 m

Calculate the pressure in bar of 2520 moles of hydrogen gas stored at 27 °c in the 180-l storage tank of a modern hydrogen-power
marin [14]

Answer: 347 bar


Explanation:

1) Data:


n = 2520 moles

T = 27 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

V = 180 liter

p = ?


2) Formula


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT


3) Solution:


p = nRT/V = 2520 mol × 0.0821 atm×liter/K×mol ×298.15K / 180 liter = 342.7 atm


Conversion: 342.7 atm × 1,01325 bar / atm = 347 bar
