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!

I really need help with the graphs
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

t = 2s

Explanation:

When you're looking for instantaneous portions of a graph, of any sort really, it means you're observing a rate at a single point in time [or possibly some other variable]. It's sorta like a snapshot of a rate as opposed to an average rate over an interval. After choosing this rate we'll typically draw a straight, tangent line through it to indicate it's slope. (Tangent lines are just lines that only touch a single point on a graph or shape.)

Another thing to take note of are the values of the graph's major axes. The "y-axis" corresponds to velocity in meters per second, while the "x-axis" corresponds to time in seconds. Normally when relating the two we put "y" over the "x" and say that at any point there are "y[units]" per "x[units]". Though with instantaneous rates, we say the value of "x" is "1"; for reasons I can try to further explain later if you'd like.

With the above information in mind we can turn our attention to your graph. You're told to find the point on this graph where the instantaneous rate of acceleration is -2 m/s². The only place where the graph reflects an instantaneous rate of -2m/s² is at t = 2s. At t = 2, the rate comes out to (2[m/s]/1s), which simplifies to 2m/s². If you then draw the tangent line through the point, you'll find that the line is decreasing (going down from left to right) which means that the instantaneous rate is negative.

So at t = 2s, we have an instantaneous acceleration of -2m/s².

A water wave has a wavelength of 204 m and a frequency of 0.5 Hz. How far does it travel in 1 s?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

c = 204 x 5 = 1020 m/s so it travels 1020 meters in 1 second.

Describe the relationship between the length and period of a pendulum in the language of direct proportions
Wittaler [7]

The period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

T is the period

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

From the equation, we see that when the length of the pendulum increases, the period of the pendulum increases as the square root of L, T\propto \sqrt{L}. This means that

The period of the pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum

From the equation, we also notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope
balandron [24]
A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)
