A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.

When does PE equal KE?
dybincka [34]
PE equals KE when KE is 50%. 

Like below:

E = PE + KE 
E = 50 + 50 
E = 100.

Remember, both KE and PE always have to add up to 100 so that is why PE is equal to KE when KE is 50% of energy. 

Hope I helped. :)

An electric field of 8.20 ✕ 105 V/m is desired between two parallel plates, each of area 25.0 cm2 and separated by 2.45 mm. Ther
astraxan [27]

Answer:

q = 1.815 \times 10^{-8} C

Charge on one plate is positive in nature and on the other plate it is negative in nature.

Explanation:

E = 8.20 x 10^5 V/m, A = 25 cm^2, d = 22.45 mm

According to the Gauss's theorem in electrostatics

The electric field between the two plates

E = \frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon _{0}}

{\sigma }= E \times {\varepsilon _{0}}

{\sigma }= 8.20 \times 10^{5} \times {8.854 \times 10^{-12}

{\sigma }= 7.26 \times 10^{-6} C/m^{2}

Charge, q = surface charge density x area

q = 7.26 \times 10^{-6} \times 25 \times 10^{-4}

q = 1.815 \times 10^{-8} C

Geological and atmospheric changes happening over a ______ time scale can cause______ extinctions.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Long short

Explanation:

1

Dogs that are bigger are selected to be parents.

2

The parents are bred together, and their offspring will be different sizes.

3

The biggest offspring will be selected and bred together.

4

This cycle continues until the dogs have been selectively bred to be bigger than the current world record size.

5

Selective breeders need to ensure that they are not also selecting for disadvantageous traits, like genetic limb defects.

Ur gonna need this...
