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.

If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by?
tino4ka555 [31]

If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by 100 times as much.

The contraction of an astronomical object caused by its own gravity, which tends to pull stuff inward toward the center of gravity, is known as gravitational collapse. A cloud of interstellar matter gradually collapses under the influence of gravity to form a star. The temperature rises as a result of the compression brought on by the collapse until thermonuclear fusion takes place in the star's core. At this point, the collapse gradually comes to an end as the outward heat pressure equalizes the gravitational forces. Following that, the star is in a condition of dynamic equilibrium. A star will repeatedly collapse once all of its energy sources have been used up until it reaches a new equilibrium condition.

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.
