Suppose a parachutist lands on a high-voltage wire and grabs the wire as she prepares to be rescued, she will not be electrocuted.

<h3>What is Voltage?</h3>

This is referred to as the difference in electric potential between two points or the work done which is needed per unit to move a charge between two points in a circuit.

If she grabs the wire as she prepares to be rescued, she will not be electrocuted because the net electrical potential will be 0.

In a situation where the wire breaks as she holds on to it then she will be electrocuted.

Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b
zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is  W = 1563.289 \ J

Explanation:

From  the question we are told that

   The temperature of the environment is  T = 280\ K

    The volume of container A is  V_A = 2 m^3

    Initially the number of moles  is  n = 1.2 \ moles

     The volume of container B is V_B = 3.5 \ m^3

     

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

             W =  P_A V_A  ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Now from the Ideal gas law

          P_A V_A =  nRT

So substituting for P_A V_A in the equation above

          W =  nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Where R is the gas constant with a values of  R =  8.314 \  J/mol

Substituting values we have that

            W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]

          W = 1563.289 \ J

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?​
natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m

In handball, who is the only player allowed in the goalie area?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Only the goalie is allowed inside the goal crease. The only exception when another player is allowed in the goal area is when they take off from outside the goal area, and shoots or passes the ball before landing. To avoid interference with other players, the player must then exit the goal area as soon as possible.
