Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 0.96×109 V and the quantity of char

ge transferred is 31 C. (a) What is the change in energy of that transferred charge? (b) If all the energy released could be used to accelerate a 950 kg car from rest, what would be its final speed?

(a) 2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

The change in energy of the transferred charge is given by:

\Delta U = q \Delta V

where

q is the charge transferred

\Delta V is the potential difference between the ground and the clouds

Here we have

q=31 C

\Delta V = 0.96\cdot 10^9 V

So the change in energy is

\Delta U = (31 C)(0.96\cdot 10^9 V)=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

(b) 7921 m/s

If the energy released is used to accelerate the car from rest, than its final kinetic energy would be

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

v is the final speed of the car

Here the energy given to the car is

K=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

Therefore by re-arranging the equation, we find the final speed of the car:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.98\cdot 10^{10})}{950}}=7921 m/s

If you speed up from rest to 12m/s in 3 seconds, what is your acceleration?
boyakko [2]


b) 4m/s/s

This is because you divide the speed you reach, by the time it takes to get to that speed:

12m/s ÷ 3s = 4m/s/s

The units come from what you divide, meters per second ÷ seconds this can be written as m/s/s or ms-²

Let's see

Use snells law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{sini}{sinr}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{sin30}{sin19.9}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=0.5/0.34

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=1.47

How is Coulomb’s law similar to newton’s law of gravitational force? How is it different
natulia [17]

The similarities and the differences between gravitational and electric force are listed below

Explanation:

- The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- Coloumb's law gives instead the strength of the electrostatic force between two charged objects, which is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

By comparing the two equations, we find the following similarities:

  • Both the forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}
  • Both the forces are proportional to the product between the "main quantity" of each force, which is the mass for the gravitational force (F\propto m_1 m_2) and the charge for the electric force (F\propto q_1 q_2

Instead, we have the following differences:

  • The gravitational force is always attractive, since the sign of m is always positive, while the electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, since the sign of q can be either positive or negative
  • The value of the gravitational costant G is much smaller than the value of the Coulomb's constant, so the gravitational force is much weaker than the electric force

Which of the following is a small electronic component made up of transistors (tiny switches) and other miniaturized parts?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Integrated circuit (IC)

Explanation:

An integrated circuit ( IC ) is a semiconductor which contains multiple electronic components

interconnected to form a complete electronic function. Integrated circuits are the most essential part of all electronic products.

Modern integrated circuits contain as much as billions of circuit components such as transistors , diodes , resistors , and capacitors

onto a single monolithic die .
