Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 2.5 \times 10^{4}$ A

Time $t = 40 \times 10^{-6}$ sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3> $I = \frac{Q}{t}$ </h3>

Where $Q =$ charge transfer between cloud and earth.

$Q =I t$

$Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}$

$Q = 1$ C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

At a location near the equator, the earth’s magnetic field is horizontal and points north. An electron is moving vertically upwa

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

(b) EAST

Explanation:

you can assume that the magnetic field points rightward, that is, in the positive x direction (NORTH). Furthermore, you can assume that the direction of the motion of the electron is in the positive y direction. Hence, you have:

$\vec{B}=B_o\hat{i}\\\\\vec{v}=v_o\hat{j}$

You use the Lorentz formula to known which is the direction of the magnetic force over the electron:

$F=qv\ X\ B$

which implies the cross product between the unitary vecors j and i, that is

$\hat{i} \ X\ \hat{j} = -\hat{k}$ (WEST)

However, the minus sign of the charge of the electron changes the direction 180°. Hence, the direction is k. That is, to the EAST

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast

krok68 [10]

Answer: 1.9 m/s

Explanation:

The question should be:

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast will the green fish swim after eating the orange fish?

Ok, here we have conservation of momentum.

At the beginning, the total momentum is equal to the sum between the momentum of the green fish and the momentum of the orange fish.

Where the momentum is written as:

P = m*v

m = mass

v = velocity.

The momentum of the green fish is:

Pg = 20kg*2m/s = 40 kg*m/s.

The momentum of the orange fish is:

Po = 1kg*0m/s = 0

The total initial momentum is:

Pi = Pg + Po = 40 kg*m/s.

After the green fish eats the orange fish, we do not have an orange fish anymore, and the mass of the green fish will be equal to it's initial mass, plus the mass of the fish that it ate, this will be:

M = 20kg + 1kg = 21kg.

Then the momentum will be:

Pf = 21kg*V

Where V is the final velocity.

For conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum, then:

Pi = Pf

40 kg*m/s = 21kg*V

(40/21) m/s = 1.9 m/s = V

The fish's final velocity is 1.9 m/s

You push on the top edge of a 1.8 m tall solid circular cylinder of iron which is 4.00 cm in diameter. You push with a horizonta

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$\triangle x=3.2*10^-^5 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height of circular cylinder is $h= 1.8m$

Diameter of cylinder $D=4cm=>0.04m$

Horizontal Force $F=900N$

$Y = 10.0 *10^1^0 N/m^2 \\B = 9.0 * 10^1^0 N/m^2\\S = 4.0 * 10^1^0 N/m^2\\$

Generally the formula for shear modulus is mathematically represented by

$G=\frac{\tau}{\gamma}$

Where

$G=Shear modulus\\\tau= shear\ stress\\\gamma=shear strain$

$G=\frac{F/A}{\triangle x/L}$

$G=\frac{900/\pi r^2}{\triangle x/1.8}$

$4.0*10^1^0=\frac{900/\pi r^2}{\triangle x/1.8}$

$4.0*10^1^0=\frac{900}{\pi r^2} *\frac{1.8}{\triangle x}$

${\triangle x} =\frac{1620}{\pi r^2* 4.0*10^1^0}$

$\triangle x=3.2*10^-^5 m$
