Benjamin Franklin has convinced his hapless assistant Mike Piepan to participate in an experiment on electiricty. Ben has set up

lightning rod, the rod of which extends into his laboratory. MIke is suspended from the ceiling by an insulating rope. To one side of Mike is the end of end of the lightning rod, on the other side is a metal rod that is "grounded" (i.e. conducts electricity into the Earth, especially a "charge dump"). A bolt of lightning strikes the rod, giving it an enormous quantity of excess negative charge. Assuming tht no charge leaps through the air in the lab, explain in as much details as possible, what you think will happen to poor Mr. Piepan?

Answer:

Mike will receive an electric shock

Explanation:

Human body is a conductor of electricity. When lightning strikes rod and give it negative charge, the rod will dissipate its charge as soon as it comes in contact with earth via conduting material. Mike will receive a severe electric shock as negatice charge pass through his body to other rod and to the ground.His body will feel numb. He may also get unconscious.

Can someone help me convert these?

Assuming you are supposed to write each conversion in scientific notation:

(2) 1 m = 100 cm, so

(67 cm) × (1/100 m/cm) = 67/100 m = 0.67 m = 6.7 × 10 ⁻¹ m

(3) 1 km = 1,000 m, so

(1.2 km) × (1000 m/km) = 1200 m = 1.2 × 10³ m

(4) 1 m = 1,000 mm = 10³ mm, so

(6.2 × 10 ⁻³ m) × (10³ mm/m) = 6.2 mm

(5) 1 m = 1,000,000,000 nm = 10⁹ nm, so

(4.05 × 10³ nm) × (1/10⁹ m/nm) = 4.05 × 10 ⁻⁶ m

(6) 1 g = 1,000,000 µg = 10⁶ µg, so

(3200 µg) × (1/10⁶ g/µg) = 3200 × 10 ⁻⁶ g = 3.2 × 10 ⁻³ g

When switched on, the grinding machine accelerates from rest to its operating speed of 3550 rev/min in 10 seconds. When switched
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

During start total turns

N_1 = 296 turn

After half of the time total turns

N_3 = \frac{29.6 + 0}{2}(5) = 74 turns

Total number of turns during it stop

N_2 = \frac{59.17 + 0}{2}(31) = 917 turn

After half of the time total turns

N_4 = 688 turns

Explanation:

Initially the machine is at rest and then starts rotating with speed 3550 rev/min

now we will have

f = \frac{3550}{60} = 59.17 rev/s

now we know that it took 10 s to reach the speed

so angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

\alpha = \frac{59.17- 0}{10} = 5.917 rev/s^2

now it stops in 31 s so the angular deceleration is given as

\alpha_2 = -\frac{59.17}{31} = -1.91 rev/s^2

now initially number of turn to reach the given speed

N_1 = \frac{59.17 + 0}{2}(10) = 296 turn

number of turns during it stop

N_2 = \frac{59.17 + 0}{2}(31) = 917 turn

Now during startup speed after t = 5 s is given as

\omega_1 = (5.917)(5) = 29.6 rev/s

N_3 = \frac{29.6 + 0}{2}(5) = 74 turns

now during it stop the speed after half the time is given as

\omega_2 = 59.17 - (1.91)(15.5) = 29.56 rev/s

now the number of turns is given as

N_4 = \frac{59.17 + 29.56}{2}(15.5)

N_4 = 688 turns

What is the net Force needed to get a 16 kg box moving 4 m/s^2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

The net force should be of a magnitude of 64 N

Explanation:

We use Newton's second Law for this:

F_{net} = m\,*\,a

which for our case gives:

F_{net} = m\,*\,a=16\,(4)\,N= 64\,\,N

A beam of protons is directed in a straight line along the positive zz ‑direction through a region of space in which there are c
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The magnitude is B = \frac{450}{7.9* 10^5}

The direction is  the positive x axis

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  electric field is  E = 450 V/m in the negative y ‑direction

   The speed of the proton is  v= 7.9* 10^5\  m/s in the positive z direction

Generally the overall force acting on  the proton is mathematical represented as

              F_E =  q(\vec E + \vec v  * \vec B)

Now for the beam of protons to continue un-deflected along its straight-line trajectory then  F_E =0

So

          0  =  q( E (-y) + v(z)  * \vec B)

=>      E\^y = v \^ z  * \vec B

Generally from unit vector cross product vector multiplication

         \^ z  \ *  \  \^ x  =  \^  y

So the direction of  B (magnetic field must be in the positive x -axis )

So

       E\^y = v \^ z  *  B\^ x

=>     E\^y = vB ( \^ z  *  \^ x)

=>     E\^y = vB ( \^y)        

=>      E = vB  

=>      B = \frac{450}{7.9* 10^5}

=>      B =  0.0005696 \ T
