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.

Phytoplankton would most likely be found _______.
DIA [1.3K]
<span>The answer is c. in the photic zone. Plankton is a diverse group of organisms that live in the water and not capable of active swimming. Phytoplankton includes a diverse autotrophic group of organisms. Since they are autotrophic, they produce their own food in the process of photosynthesis. Light is important for photosynthesis and phytoplankton tends to live in the photic zone which receives sunlight.</span>

Children are sled riding on a hill One little girl pulls her sled back up the hill and does 379.5 joules of work while pulling i
Serggg [28]

Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 379.5J

Height  = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled  = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

      Work done  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

     mg  = weight;

        Work done  = weight x h

           379.5 = weight  x  173

           weight  = \frac{379.5}{173}   = 2.2N

A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?
Natali [406]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m=0 order.

The ruling separation is d=1/(470mm-1)

= 2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}mm

Diffraction lines occurs at an angle θ such that dsin=mλ,when λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order,the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with shorter wavelength.

we take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is,find the greater integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since,d/λ

= 538 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m/2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.
