Answer:

The potential difference between the student and the tap causes electrons to transfer to the tap which is earthed.

Hope this helps my sis and others

Answer:

An electric shock occurs when a person comes into contact with an electrical energy source. Electrical energy flows through a portion of the body causing a shock. If you scuff your feet on your living room rug, you pick up extra electrons and have a negative charge. Electrons move more easily through certain materials like metal, which scientists call conductors. The shock he received was a result of the quick movement of these electrons.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are of special interest because of their large size, white color and position as the top-level carnivore in the remote arctic environment. They occur only in the northern hemisphere nearly always in association with sea ice. They have only two colors of fur: tan and white. Polar bears were created to withstand cold temperatures and are quite adaptable. Polar bears are ferocious and the most dangerous of bears. They can lop a person's head off with one swoop of their paw.

If you've ever touched a traditional-style lightbulb, you probably noticed that they can get very hot. Does this mean the wires
Art [367]
It means they have very high resistance.

High resistance means the power cannot fully pass through the wire. Some of the power is lost in the form of light, heat, etc.

Low resistance means the current fully passes through. The wire would then stay cold and nice.

alexdok [17]

Answer: E = 5.80*10^-13 J

Explanation:

Given

We use the law of conservation of momentum to solve this

Momentum before breakup = momentum after breakup

0 = m1v1 + m2v2

0 = 238m * -2.2*10^5 + 4m * v2

0 = -523.6m m/s + 4m * v2

v2 * 4m = 523.6m m/s

v2 = 523.6 m m/s / 4m

v2 = 130.9*10^5 m/s

v2 = 1.31*10^7 m/s

Using this speed in the energy equation, we have

E = 1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2²

E = 1/2 * (238 * 1.66*10^-27) * -2.2*10^5² + 1/2 * (4 * 1.66*10^-27) * 1.31*10^7²

E = [1/2 * 3.95*10^-25 * 4.84*10^10] + [1/2 * 6.64*10^-27 * 1.716*10^14]

E = (1/2 * 1.911*10^-14) + (1/2 * 1.139*10^-12)

E = 9.56*10^-15 + 5.7*10^-13

E = 5.80*10^-13 J
