1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?

Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

Which describes electricity?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

- a build up of electric charge

- the force and motion of electrically charged particles

- an electric current

are three different ways to describe electricity.

So the answer is all of the above.

Suppose a certain jet plane creates an intensity level of 124 dB at a distance of 5.01 m. What intensity level does it create on

Zolol [24]

Answer:71 dB

Explanation:

Given

sound Level $\beta _1=124 dB$

distance $r_1=5.01 m$

From sound Intensity

$\beta =10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$124=10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$12.4=\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$I_1=(1\times 10^{-12})\times 10^{12.4}$

$I_1=2.51 W/m^2$

we know Intensity $I\propto ^\frac{1}{r^2}$

$I_1r_1^2=I_2r_2^2$

$I_2=I_1(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2=2.51\cdot (\frac{5.01}{2.25\times 10^3})^2$

$I_2=1.24\times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Sound level corresponding to $I_2$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{I_2}{I_0})$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{1.24\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-12}})$

$\beta _2=70.93\approx 71 dB$

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?

34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s

An object is place 30.5 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 8.0cm.where is the image ?

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Image is between F and 2F. And the exact location is:

q = 10.84 cm

Explanation:

The convex lens form different kinds of images with different sizes and locations, for the different positions of an object. In this case, the object is placed 30.5 cm from the convex lens with a focal length of 8 cm. This means that it is the case of the object placed beyond 2F. In this case, the image formed has the following characteristics:

1. Image is real.

2. Image is inverted

3. Image is diminished

<u>4. Image is located between F and 2F</u>

For exact location we use the thin lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where,

f = focal length = 8 cm

p = object distance = 30.5 cm

q = image distance = ?

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{8\ cm} = \frac{1}{30.5\ cm} + \frac{1}{q} \\\frac{1}{8\ cm} - \frac{1}{30.5\ cm} = \frac{1}{q}$

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) Why does chromatic aberration occur? Explain.

Bess [88]

Answer:

Chromatic aberration is a visual effects that distorts the image. It occurs when different wavelengths of light are focused at different distances from the lens as a result of which light passing through the prism bends and the color wavelengths are separated. This is called chromatic aberration.
