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.

How is mercury barometer constructed ?<br>​
olganol [36]

Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

The function​ s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line. Suppose s (2 )equals 146and s (6 )equals
sineoko [7]

Answer:

v(t) = 27 units

Explanation:

The function s(t) represents the position of an object at time t moving along a line such that,

s(2)=146

and

s(6)=254

We need to find the average velocity of the object over the interval of time [2,6]. The velocity of the object is equal to the total distance divided by time. It is given by :

v(t)=\dfrac{s(6)-s(2)}{6-2}

v(t)=\dfrac{254-146}{6-2}

v(t) = 27 units

So, the  average velocity of the object is 27 units. Hence, this is the required solution.

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that a. remote broadcasts could not emanate from hotels. b. NBC could not give away tickets
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that:

Radio stations agreed to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, while using information supplied by the newspapers.

e. radio stations could only air five-minutes newscasts a day.

Explanation:

The Biltmore Agreement tried to reconcile within the press war between newspapers and radio, as during its golden age the newspapers´ revenues decreased. Radio´s brand new technology was more attractive and creative for advertising and could report breaking news faster than the newspapers, which through the press associations including the Associated Press and the United Press, pressured to stop providing news to radio stations beginning a war in 1933, which partially ended with the Biltmore Agreement, which restricted the radio´s broadcasting of news if the newspapers continued publishing radio listings, radio stations were to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, if information supplied by the newspapers was used, no sponsors were allowed, and no more that 30 words in a single story were allowed either;  radio stations had to include: "See your daily newspaper for further details" in their announcements and, could only broadcast news after 9:30 AM for morning news, and after 9:00 PM for evening news, so people would have already received their newspapers.
