Answer: 8.16*10^-4 T

Explanation:

Given

Current of the lightening bolt, I = 20 kA

Distance from the strike of the lightening bolt, r = 4.9 m

To solve, we use the formula

B = [μ(0) * I] / 2πr, where

B = magnetic field of the lightening

μ = permeability constant = 4π*10^-7 N/A²

I = current of the lightening

r = distance from the lightening strike

B = [(4 * 3.142*10^-7) * 20*10^3] / (2 * 3.142 * 4.9)

B = (12.568*10^-7 * 20*10^3) / 6.284 * 4.9

B = 0.025 / 30.79

B = 8.16*10^-4 T

The magnetic field to be experienced would be 8.16*10^-4 T large

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

The (blank) is something that should be tested according to the comfort level of the golfer. a. GRIP b. PUTTING GREEN c. SAND TR
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:  <em> a). Grip</em>

The grip is the important thing to be consider for golfer. It is the most fundamental important aspects to the game, because it provides the solid contact.

Applying the correct grip, results in better golf shots and an increased confidence to the golfer, to address the ball in the right direction.

Simply the grip is the pressure applied to the club with the hand such that the golfer feels comfortable to make a brilliant shot.

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

6. several light bulbs are connected in series across a 115 v source
Natalka [10]

Explanation:

a) I = V / R

1.70 = 115 / R

R = 115 / 1.70

R = 67.647

R = 67.65 ohms

Therefore, equivalent resistance is 67.65 ohms

b) Equivalent resistance of circuit from above sum is 67.65 ohms

Given resistance of each bulb is 1.50 ohms

Number bulbs = Equivalent resistance / Resistance of each bulb

= 67.65 / 1.50

= 45

Peter’s body supplies a force of 500 N to run up a 10-m hill in 10 s. How much power is involved in Peter’s run up the hill? Exp
shutvik [7]

Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t} (1)

Where t is the time during which work W  is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  ).

When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (2)

In this case, we have the following data:

F=500 N

d=10 m

t=10 s

So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:

From (2):

W=(500 N)(10 m) (3)

W=5000 J (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

P=\frac{5000 J}{10 s} (5)

Finally:

P=500 W
