Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi

mum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000C/s; this lasts for 100μs or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time?

Answer:

2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

Explanation:

We have given rate rate of flow of charge \frac{dq}{dt}=20000C/sec

Time is given as t=100\mu sec=100\times 10^{-6}=10^{-4}sec

WE have to find the how much charge flows between the ground and cloud in this time

So the charge flow is given by \frac{dq}{dt}\times t=20000C/sec\times 10^{-4}=2C

So 2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

A 5 N force pushes on the right side of a box. At the same time, a 10 N force pushes on the left side of the box. What happens t
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The answer is C as there is more force on the left side ( excess of 5 N) which therefore pushed it to the right with a force of 5 N!

Compute the expected shell-model quadrupole moment of 209Bi () and compare with the experimental value, - 0.37 b
Over [174]

Answer:

0.22 b

Explanation:

Quadrupole moment of the nucleon is,

Q=-\frac{2j-1}{2(j+1)}\frac{3}{5}R^{2}

And also,

R^{2}=R^{2} _{0}A^{\frac{2}{3} }

And, R _{0}=1.2\times 10^{-15}m

Now,

Q=-\frac{2j-1}{2(j+1)}\frac{3}{5}R^{2} _{0}A^{\frac{2}{3} }

For Bismuth j=\frac{9}{2} and A is 209.

Q=-\frac{2\frac{9}{2} -1}{2(\frac{9}{2} +1)}\frac{3}{5}(1.2\times 10^{-15}) ^{2}(209)^{\frac{2}{3} }\\Q=0.628\times 35.28\times 10^{-30} \\Q=22.15\times 10^{-30} m^{2} \\Q=0.2215\times 10^{-28} m^{2} \\Q=0.22 barn

Therefore, the expected value of quadrupole is 0.22 b which is quite related with experimental value which is 0.37 b

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a cons
torisob [31]

Answer:

0.1 s

Explanation:

The net force on the log is F - f = ma where F = force due to winch = 2850 N, f = kinetic frictional force = μmg where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction between log and ground = 0.45, m = mass of log = 300 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a = acceleration of log

So F - f = ma

F - μmg = ma

F/m - μg = a

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = F/m - μg

a = 2850 N/300 kg - 0.45 × 9.8 m/s²

a = 9.5 m/s² - 4.41 m/s²

a = 5.09 m/s²

Since acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of log = 0 m/s (since it was a rest before being pulled out of the ditch), v = final velocity of log = 0.5 m/s and t = time taken for the log to reach a speed of 0.5 m/s.

So, making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

t = (v - u)/a

t = (0.5 m/s - 0 m/s)/5.09 m/s²

t = 0.5 m/s ÷ 5.09 m/s²

t = 0.098 s

t ≅ 0.1 s

When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8lbs
