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.

A 10-foot ladder is leaning straight up against a wall when a person begins pulling the base of the ladder away from the wall at
docker41 [41]

Answer:

y = 4.36

Explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be L

L = 10

Also:

  • Let x = distance\ from\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder
  • Let y = height\ of\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.

So, we have:

L^2 = x^2 + y^2 --- Pythagoras Theorem

When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:

x = 9

Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in L^2 = x^2 + y^2

10^2 = 9^2 + y^2

100 = 81 + y^2

Make y^2 the subject

y^2 = 100 - 81

y^2 = 19

Make y the subject

y = \sqrt{19

y = 4.36

<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>

<span>Cells with similar preferences are arranged closer together in the auditory cortex. </span>That statement presented is True. Auditory cortex is in the temporal lobe. It processes auditory information in human and as well as other invertebrates. The neurons inside the auditory cortex are organized depends on the frequency of the sound.

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.
