Explanation:

when we go outside, heat up food in the microwave, etc. it exposes us to radiation. along with things like radiators. the sun has lots of radiation and heat, so going outside exposes us. the microwave has radiation that heats up our food. the radiation from a microwave is not healthy for us, and is slowly poisoning us each day we use it. but as long as we do those things, we are exposed.

hope this helps

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock

Minchanka [31]

The voltage exists between the fence and the ground. The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.4 m apart

Suppose, A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q₁ = −2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q₂ = −8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q₁. When the two spheres are 0.800m apart, q₂ is moving toward q₁ with speed 20m/s.

We need to calculate the speed of q₂

Using conservation of energy

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2+\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{i}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r_{f}}+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2$

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{i}^2-v_{f}^2)=kq_{1}q_{2}(\dfrac{1}{r_{f}}-\dfrac{1}{r_{i}})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.5\times10^{-3}(20^2-v_{f}^2)=9\times10^{9}\times-2\times10^{-6}\times-8\times10^{-6}(\dfrac{1}{(0.4)}-\dfrac{1}{(0.8)})$

$0.00075(400-v_{f}^2)=0.18
$

$400-v_{f}^2=\dfrac{0.18}{0.00075}$

$-v_{f}^2=240-400$

$v_{f}^2=160$

$v_{f}=4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of q₂ is $4\sqrt{10}\ m/s$

A little girl is swinging on her tire swing. At the lowest point of her swing, the tension in the rope is a) Equal to the gravit

Elodia [21]

A because the girl in that instant is not moving up or down so
( up forces)=(down forces )
The up forces is the tension of the rope and down forces us mg -the gravitational force on the girl by the earth
