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 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser
sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

A 800hz tuning fork is vibrating, producing a sound wave in the air.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 800Hz

The speed of sound in a is about 340m/s.

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

making wavelength the subject formula

wavelength = Velocity/frequency.

wavelength = 340/800

wavelength = 0.425m.

A train slows from 60m/s to 20m/s in 50s
Dovator [93]

Answer:

a = -4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s

a = -40 m/s / 50 s

a = -4/5 m/s^2

hope this helps! <3
