When the metal case of a piece of equipment is connected to ground through a ground wire, any fault current is conducted by the wire, rather than by someone who may touch the case.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

What is the force felt by the electrons and the nuclei in the rod when the external field described in the problem introduction
fomenos

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the uploaded image

Answer:

The nuclei experience a force that will move it to the right of the conductor rod while the electrons experience a force that will move it to the left side of the conductor rod.

Explanation:

The force that act on the charges(both the positive and the negative charge ) is Mathematically expressed as

                      F = qE   => E = F/q

where F is the force, q is the charge and E is the electric field

we can see that the force is directly proportional to the electric field,so an increase in the electric field would increase the force.

we can also see that the electric field is given as force per unit charge and generally the direction of this field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge

Now from the question we are being told that the external electric field is the direction of the positive x axis

Hence this field would drive the positive charge i.e the nuclei to the right.

In order to further explain let consider this

Generally the electric field is always radially outward  originating from a positive point charge and radially in toward a negative point charge.

what  this means for this question, is that the positive point charge is on the left side of the electric field while the negative point charge is at the right side of the field.

According to Coulomb's law which states that unlike term attract while like terms repel, it means that  the electron would move to the left of the conductor rod   while the nuclei would move to the right side of the conductor rod.

A tennis player swings and hits the ball away. How does the force of the tennis racket affect the motion of the ball
defon

The force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

<h3>Impulse received by the ball</h3>

The impulse received by the ball through the racket affects the motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

The ball which is initially at rest, will gain momentum after been hit with the racket.

J = ΔP = Ft

where;

  • J is the impulse received by the ball
  • ΔP is change in momentum of the ball
  • F is the applied force
  • t is the time of action

Thus, the force of the racket affects the ball's motion because it changes the momentum of the ball.

A 300-n force acts on a 25-kg object. the acceleration of the object is?
Over [174]
To solve the answer use the equation: a = fnet / m

a = 300 N / 25 kg

300 N / 25 kg = 12m/s

The acceleration of the object is 12m/s
