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.

Cheryl is riding on the edge of a merry-go-round, 2m from the center, which is rotating with an increasing angular speed. Cheryl
WINSTONCH [101]

In circular motion we know that there is two type of acceleration that Cheryl experience

1. Tangential acceleration

2. Centripetal acceleration

here given that

a_t = 3 m/s^2

for centripetal acceleration we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{4^2}{2} = 8 m/s^2

now we know that both centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration is perpendicular to each other

so total acceleration is vector sum of both and given as

a_{net} = \sqrt{8^2 + 3^2} = 8.54 m/s^2

so total acceleration is 8.54 m/s^2

It is weigh-in time for the local under 85 kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibilty can be described by Hooke
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span>k = 1.7 x 10^5 kg/s^2 Player mass = 69 kg Hooke's law states F = kX where F = Force k = spring constant X = deflection So let's solve for k, the substitute the known values and calculate. Don't forget the local gravitational acceleration. F = kX F/X = k 115 kg* 9.8 m/s^2 / 0.65 cm = 115 kg* 9.8 m/s^2 / 0.0065 m = 1127 kg*m/s^2 / 0.0065 m = 173384.6154 kg/s^2 Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 1.7 x 10^5 kg/s^2 Since Hooke's law is a linear relationship, we could either use the calculated value of the spring constant along with the local gravitational acceleration, or we can simply take advantage of the ratio. The ratio will be both easier and more accurate. So X/0.39 cm = 115 kg/0.65 cm X = 44.85 kg/0.65 X = 69 kg The player masses 69 kg.</span>

A neon sign that requires a voltage of 11,000 v is plugged into a 120-v wall outlet. what turns ratio (secondary/primary) must a
Arisa [49]
The equation that relates the voltages and the number of turns in a transformer is
\frac{V_s}{V_p}= \frac{N_s}{N_p}
where V_s = 120 V is the voltage in the secondary coil, V_p=11000 V is the voltage in the primary coil, and N_s and N_p are the number of turns on the secondary and primary coils.

Using the numbers, we find the ratio between the number of turns:
\frac{N_s}{N_p}= \frac{V_s}{V_p}= \frac{120 V}{11000 V}=0.0109

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Young's modulus of elasticity Y = stress / strain

stress = force / cross sectional area

= weight of 15 kg / π r²

= 15 x 9.8 / 3.14 x ( .025 x 10⁻² )²

stress = 74.9 x 10⁷ N / m²

strain = Δ L / L , Δ L is change in length and L is original length

Putting the values

strain = .0168 / 2.7 =.006222

Young's modulus of elasticity Y  = 74.9 x 10⁷ / .006222

= 120.88 x 10⁹ N / m² .
