Answer:

When huge amount of electrical discharge occurs from the atmosphere, a lightning storm is said to occur.

Following precautions must be taken if one is on board a vessel during a lightning storm:

  • During a lightning storm, all the plugs should be disconnected and electrical appliances must be switched off.
  • One should remain inside the cabin and not move outside because the charges remain on the surface of a conductor.
  • The movement should be avoided. It would be best to lay straight down.

Convert planks constant in cgs system
dezoksy [38]

in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s

Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js

now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs

so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)

h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

An object, whose mass is 0.660 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 132 N/m. The object rests upon a frictionles
Arada [10]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

a)  Spring force at release =  k * d = 132 N/m * .120 m = 15.84 N

b) F = ma

   15.84 = (.660 kg)(a)     a = 24 m/s^2

c) Toward the left ....the object is accelerated to the left
