Since most people who are electrocuted don’t blow up, what kills them?

<span>They are killed mostly by heart attacks. Alternating electrical current interferes with the electrical pulses of the heart produced by the Sino-atrial node hence cause the heart to beat erratically and hence a heart attack and death to result. 7 milliamps to your heart for 3 seconds can cause it to be arrhythmic. </span>

Answer:

1. G.P.E = 24 J

2. center of mass

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2kg

Height, h = 1.2m

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 N/kg or m/s².

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

  • G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
  • h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 2*1.2*9.8

G.P.E = 23.52 to 2 S.F = 24 Joules.

Translation kinetic energy is defined as the energy of a system due to the motion of the system’s center of mass. The center of mass is typically where the mass of the object or particle is concentrated.

Two arrows are shot vertically upward. the second arrow is shot after the first one, but while the first is still on its way up.
Neko [114]
<span>Now that you know the time to reach its maximum height, you have enough information to find out the initial velocity of the second arrow. Here's what you know about it: its final velocity is 0 m/s (at the maximum height), its time to reach that is 2.8 seconds, but wait! it was fired 1.05 seconds later, so take off 1.05 seconds so that its time is 1.75 seconds, and of course gravity is still the same at -9.8 m/s^2. Plug those numbers into the kinematic equation (Vf=Vi+a*t, remember?) for 0=Vi+-9.8*1.75 and solve for Vi to get....... 17.15 m/s</span>

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s
