A man inside an insulated metallic cage does not receive shock when the cage is highly charge .explain.

1 answer:

5 0

A man inside an insulated metallic cage does not receive shock when the cage is highly charged because the whole charge reside on outer surface of the cage.

If the cage was a non-conductive cage, then the current cannot pass through the cage so it cannot affect the person in the cage.

For example- If you are seated in a car (metal body) and the car is hit with lightning, it is very unlikely that the person in the car would be hit with the lightning.

A wave is 8 meters long and has a frequency of 3 Hz. Find speed

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of $P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.$

Bottle cap area $A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2$

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure $P_r$ is give as is mathematically given by

$P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a$

Where

$P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=0.487*10^5 pa$

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

$F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N$

$F \approx 19.5 N$

The velocity of an object is the _____ of the object

katovenus [111]

D. Speed and direction, this is because velocity is a vector quantity so has a magnitude and direction assigned to it because it is the rate of change of displacement.

Boxes are transported from one location to another in a warehouse by means of a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed o

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

P = 15.90 W

Explanation:

given,

speed of conveyor belt = 0.56 m/s

conveyor belt move up to = 2 m

angle made with the horizontal = 15°

mass of the box = 2.1 kg

rate is the force of the conveyor belt doing work on the box as the box moves up

P = F v cos ∅

P = 3 × 9.8 × 0.56 × cos 15°

P = 15.90 W
