Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
8 0
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

In 1935, a French destroyer, La Terrible, attained one of the fastest speeds for any standard warship. Suppose it took 3.0 min a
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion of uniform acceleration

v = u + at

where v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and time is t .

putting the values

v  =  0 + .5 x 3 x 60  ( time in second = 3 x 60 s )

= 90 m /s

So  , final velocity is 90 m /s .
