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

What value should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron weighing 117.0 g, 19.43 g, and 6.1043 g?
AURORKA [14]

The value that should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron will be 0.143 Kg or 143 g

<h3>What is Mass and Weight ?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter. While weight is a gravitational pull on an object. Mass is measured in Kg while weight is measured in Newton.

What value should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron weighing 117.0 g, 19.43 g, and 6.1043 g?

The total mass will be the sum of the three masses.

The total mass = 117 + 19.43 + 6.1043

The total mass = 142.5343 g

Convert gram to kilogram by dividing the answer by 1000

The total mass = 142.5343/1000

The total mass = 0.1425343 Kg

Therefore, the value that should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron will be 0.143 Kg or 143 g approximately

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 48.0 cm . The explorer finds that
Ber [7]

Answer:

g = 12.22 m/s²

Explanation:

The time period of this pendulum is given as follows:

T = \frac{time\ taken}{no. of cycles}\\\\T = \frac{144\ s}{93}\\\\T = 1.55\ s

but the formula for the time period of a simple pendulum is as follows:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\

where,

L = length of pednulum = 48 cm = 0.48 m

g = magnitude of th gravitational acceleration on this planet = ?

Therefore,

1.55\ s=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.48\ m}{g}}\\\\\sqrt{g} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.48\ m}{1.55\ s}}\\\\g = 3.49^{2}\\

<u>g = 12.22 m/s²</u>

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, lowmass sail and the energ
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a) the reflective surface has twice the energy transfer

b) A = 1.3 10²⁷ km²

c) the energy emitted by the sun is distributed in a sphere that depends on the square of the distance, and the gravitational force depends on the square of the distance

Explanation:

a) The pressure exerted on the candle is related to the variation of the momentum

          P = \frac{1}{c} \ \frac{dp}{dt}

in a case of absorption (inelastic shock) all the energy is absorbed therefore the pressure is

          P = \frac{1}{c} \ \frac{dp}{dt}

in the case of reflection (elastic shock) an energy is absorbed by absorbing the light and then by action and reaction the same energy is absorbed in the reflected light

          P = 2  \frac{1}{c} \ \frac{dp}{dt}

In conclusion, the reflective surface has twice the energy transfer.

             

b) pressure is defined with force per unit area

           P = F / A

           F = P A

this force must be greater than the gravitational force of attraction of the sun

           Fg = G m Ms / r²

let's look for the case that the two forces are equal

           F = Fg

           P A_sail = G m Ms = r²

suppose a fully reflective sail

           2 \frac{S}{c}  \ A_{sail} = G \frac{m M_s}{r^2}

           

The pointing vector is the power delivered per unit area

           S = I = P / A

where A is the area of ​​the sphere where the is distributed by the sun

            A = 4π r²

we substitute

            \frac{2P}{c} \ \frac{A_{sail}}{4 \pi   r^2} = G \frac{m M_s}{r^2}

            \frac{1}{2 \pi \ c } A_{sail} = G m M_s

            A = G  m M_s 2π c

let's calculate

            A = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  10000 2 10³⁰ 2π  3 10⁸

            A = 1,257 10³³ m²

let's reduce to km²

            A = 1.3 10³³ m² (1km / 10³ m) ²

            A = 1.3 10²⁷ km²

c) The size of the candle is independent of the distance to the sun because the energy emitted by the sun is distributed in a sphere that depends on the square of the distance, and the gravitational force depends on the square of the distance, therefore the two dependencies are canceled.

Part AFind the x- and y-components of the vector d⃗ = (4.0 km , 29 ∘ left of +y-axis).Express your answer using two significant
Hoochie [10]

Solution :

Part A .

Given : The x and y components of the vector, d = \text{4 km 29} degree left of y-axis.

So the x component is = -4 x sin (29°) = -1.939 km

           y component is = 4 x cos (29°) = 3.498 km

Part B

Given : The x and y components of the vector, \text{v = 2 cm/s} , \text{-x direction}

So the x component is = -2 cm/s

           y component is = 0

Part C

Given : The x and y components of the vector, \text{a = 13 m/s, 36 degree} left of y-axis.

So the x component is = -13 x sin (36°) = -7.6412 m/S^2

           y component is = -13 x cos (36°) = -10.517 m/S^2
