The difference in electric potential between a thunder cloud and the ground is 1.53 108 V. Electrons move from the ground which

is at a lower potential to the cloud which is at a higher potential. Determine the change in electric potential energy of one of the electrons that move to the cloud.

Answer:

=−2.451 330 152 1*10^27J

Explanation:

The electric potential=the Voltage * Charge: 

E = VQ

V = 1.53x10^8 V (positive, because the cloud has a higher potential)

Q = -1.60217657 x10^19 C (the charge of an electron)

E = (1.53x10^8 V )* (-1.60217657 x10^19 C)

E=−2.451 330 152 1*10^27J

The negative sign indicates that the potential energy is decreased by the movement of the electron.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

"The International Space Station (ISS) orbits at a distance of 350 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) Determine the gravitat
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

(c)5484.3301s = 1.5234 hours.(extremely fast).

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145m/s^2.

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c)  S = vT,  here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S =  earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.

Five different forces act on an object. Is it possible for the net force on the object to be zero?
bazaltina [42]
No because there must be an even # if their is an even amount one of the forces isn’t being cancelled

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate
Juliette [100K]
Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.
