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

Physics

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!

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res
BARSIC [14]
Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .

(1) The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be upside down and smaller than the object.

(2) When light rays reflect, they bounce back.

(3)  Images formed by a concave lens will look magnified.

(4) When light rays enter a different medium, they bend.

<h3>1.0 Object placed further from the lens than the focal point</h3>

The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be diminished and inverted.

Thus, the correct answer will be "upside down and smaller than the object".

<h3>2.0 What is reflection of light?</h3>

The ability of light to bounce back when it strike a hard surface is known as refection.

<h3>3.0 Image formed by concave lens</h3>

A concave lens is diverging lens is usually virtual, erect and magnified.

<h3>4.0 Refraction of light</h3>

The change in speed of light when it travels from medium to another medium is known as refraction. Refraction is also, the ability of light to bend around obstacles.

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Help pls i need this right now

Answer:

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O (1)

Where:

\vec F_{1}, \vec F_{2}, \vec F_{3} - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

\vec O - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that \vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N], \vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N], F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y}) and \vec O = (0,0)\,[N], then we construct the following system of linear equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N (2)

\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N (3)

The solution of this system is:

F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N, F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.
