Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, E=3\times 10^6\ V/m

Let the electrical potential is, V=10^8\ V

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Based on Archimedes' principle, we know that if an object displaces a given weight of water, then the object is being buoyed up
Virty [35]
True. If the amount displaced is more than the mass, it floats. If the amount is less than the mass, it will sink.

A crane used 250,000 Joules of work to move a beam to the top of a building in 20 seconds. How much power did the crane use?
maria [59]

Answer:

12500W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 250000J

Time taken  = 20s

Unknown:

Power of the crane = ?

Solution:

Power is the defined as the rate at which work is being done;

  Mathematically;

        Power = \frac{work done}{time }

 insert the parameters and solve;

      Power  = \frac{250000}{20}   = 12500W

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2
qaws [65]

Answer:

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}

now we know that

m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J

now we have

6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}

now we have

r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m

A branch falls from a tree how fast is the branch moving after drug .28 seconds
alexdok [17]
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s
