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. <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>

A 87 kg man has a total mechanical energy of 1780 J .If he is swinging downward and is currently 1.4 m above the ground, what is

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

6.4m/s

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the man is 1780J.

This mechanical energy is the energy due to the motion of the body and it is a form of kinetic energy.

Also, mass = 87kg

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²
