A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to a high-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set to giv

e an electric field slightly less than 1×10⁶ V/m . When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the field enough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug.
If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximate separation between the plates?
(a) 7×10⁻² cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm

Answer:

(b) 0.7 cm

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 1\times 10^6\ V/m

V = Voltage = 7000 V

d = Seperation between the plates

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{7000}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow d=0.007\ m=0.7\ cm

The approximate separation between the plates is 0.7 cm

Which type of central heating system is often used when heating many buildings from a central location?
Deffense [45]
Steam is often used as a central heating system when heating many buildings froma central location. So the correct option for the given question is option "D". Steam is actually generated ina single room or place mechanically or by useing fossil fuel or solar energy and then it is passed through pipelines to several rooms and buidings. This kind of system is mostly used when heating several rooms or building at once. Electric heaters are normally avoided as the cost of electricity is far higher than any other source of heating.

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

tau = F\times r

tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'

\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm

Two balls are rolling using the same force. Which law explains why the bowling ball will roll a shorter distance than a soccer b
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
