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.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=1.071\times 10^2 Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f  = 45.0°CChange in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C

c=0.45J/g^0C

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

An object is released from rest and falls in free fall motion. The speed v of the object after it has fallen a distance y is giv
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

8.91 %

Explanation:

Since v² = 2gy

By the relative error formula,

2Δv/v = Δg/g + Δy/y multiplying by 100%, we have

2Δv/v × 100% = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

2(Δv/v × 100%) = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

Δg/g × 100 % = 2(Δv/v × 100%) - Δy/y × 100%

Since Δv/v × 100% = 3.69 % and Δy/y × 100% = 5 %

Since we have a difference for the percentage error in g, we square the percentage errors and add them together. So,

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(Δv/v × 100%)]² + [Δy/y × 100%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(3.69)]² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [4)(3.69 %)² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 54.4644 %² + 25%²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 79.4644 %²

taking square-root of both sides, we have

[Δg/g × 100 %] = 8.91 %

So, the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g is 8.91 %
