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

1 answer:

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. 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.

Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.

1. A large ball was let go on a hill and started rolling down with a constant acceleration of 4.2 m/s². What was the velocity of

pochemuha

Answer:

The velocity after 12s is 50.4m/s.

Explanation:

In acceleration formula make velocity the subject.

acceleration(a) = velocity(v)÷time(t)

<h3> velocity (v) = acceleration(a)×time(t)</h3>

V = 4.2m/s²×12s

V = 50.4m/s

Therefore the velocity after 12s is 50.4m/s.

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

$[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-$ ...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

$[O]=1s^22s^22p^4$

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

$[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6$

$O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$ ..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Como surgiu a capoeira?

xz_007 [3.2K]

La capoeira se desarrolló en Brasil, derivada de las tradiciones traídas a través del Océano Atlántico por africanos esclavizados y alimentadas por el ardiente deseo de libertad. Pronto se practicó ampliamente en las plantaciones como un medio para romper los lazos de la esclavitud, tanto física como mentalmente.
