By
vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
where
is its direction with respect to the x-axis.
Answer:
Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.
Explanation:
Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.
Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.
Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:
I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3
I= 0.24 mA
Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.
Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:
I = 120 / 1000
I = 12 mA
The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.
Answer:
17 m/s south
Explanation:
= Mass of dog = 10 kg
= Mass of skateboard = 2 kg
v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s
= Velocity of dog = 1 m/s
= Velocity of skateboard
In this system the linear momentum is conserved
The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive
