A light bulb can be all of the following except
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: A light bulb can be all of the following except option C (a consumer product if it is used to light the office of the board of directors.)

Explanation:

Products are classified as being BUSINESS or CONSUMER products according to the buyer's intended use of the product.

-Consumer products: these are sold goods that are used for personal, family, or household use. The intention of the buyer is for the products to satisfy his personal needs and desires. Example of some of the consumer products include: toothpaste, eatables and clothes.

Business products: products that are not for personal use but for the manufacturing of other goods are called business products.

Therefore a bulb is not serving as a personal use when used to light the office of the board of directors rather it's serving as a business product .

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

In a drill during basketball practice, a player runs the length of the 30-meter court and back. The player does this three times
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity of an object is given by the net displacement divided by time taken. Displacement is equal to the shortest path covered by the object.

In this problem, a player runs the length of the 30-meter court and back. The player does this three times in 60 seconds.

As the player runs the court and returns to the original point. It would mean that the shortest path covered is 0.

Average velocity = displacement/time

v=0/30

v = 0 m/s

Hence, the correct option is (1).

In a pool game, the cue ball, which has an initial speed of 3.0 m/s, make an elastic collision with the eight ball, which is ini
zhenek [66]

Explanation:

Given

initial speed(u)=3 m/s

mass of each ball is m

Let the cue ball is moving in x direction initially

In elastic collision Energy and momentum is conserved

Let u be the initial velocity and v_1 , v_2 be the final velocity of 8 ball and cue ball respectively

\frac{mu^2}{2}+0=\frac{mv^2_1}{2}+\frac{mv^2_2}{2}

The angle after which cue ball is deflected is given by

\theta _1=90-40=50^{\circ}

Conserving momentum in x direction

mu=mv_1cos40+mv_2cos50

3=v_1cos40+v_2cos50

Along Y axis

0+0=v_1sin40-v_2sin50

v_1sin40=v_2sin50

substitute the value of v_1

we get v_2=1.912 m/s

v_1=2.27 m/s
