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.

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Find the moment of inertia Ihoop of a hoop of radius r and mass m with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing
Juliette [100K]

Answer: MR²

is the the moment of inertia  of a hoop of radius R and mass M with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing through its center

Explanation:

Since in the hoop , all mass elements  are situated at the same distance from the centre , the following expression for the moment of inertia can be written as follows.

I = ∫ r² dm

= R²∫ dm

MR²

where M is total mass and R is radius of the hoop .
