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

Compare and contrast Earth to the other inner planets.
Marta_Voda [28]

The inner planets are;- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.  Earth is the only planet which has atmosphere, water on the surface or know of  to have water(Mars might have water underground), and life.  

Mercury is pretty much a small planet on fire by day, but freezes at night.

Venus is a gas planet which is usually on fire in places too, but has mass ice craters on the surface.

Earth, well just look out your window.

Mars may have been an earth like planet at one stage, (still unknown) but is known as the red planet due to its volcanic activity.  Mars also has the biggest mountain/volcano on any known planet called Mt Olympus.  It's 3 times the size of Mt Everest.

Hope this helps!! :)

The weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of an element
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Atomic mass

Explanation:

The weighted average of the masses of the various isotopes of an element makes the atomic mass. This is why most atomic mass values usually have decimals.

In order to calculate the atomic mass of an element using the weighted average masses, we use the expression below:

                    Atomic mass = ∑m_{i}α_{i}

Where m_{i} is the mass of isotope i

           α_{i} is the abundance of isotope i

The abundance or geonormal abundance is the proportion by which each of the isotope occurs in nature.

Travka [436]

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s
