In a thunderstorm, the air must be ionized by a high voltage before a conducting path for a lightning bolt can be created. an el

ectric field of about 1.0 × 106 v/m is required to ionize dry air. what would the break- down voltage in air be if a thundercloud were 1.60 km above ground? assume that the electric field between the cloud and the ground is uniform.

We know that the electric field is equal to 1 E 6 V/m

The distance between the thundercloud and the ground is 1.6km = 1600m

Electric field = Voltage/distance

This means that the breakdown voltage must be equal to

V = 1 E 6 V/m * 1600m = 1.6 E 9 V = 1.6 GV

What is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 0.7m and whose velocity is 120m/s?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

f=171.43Hz

Explanation:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.

The frequency formula is: f=v÷λ, where <em>v</em> is the velocity and <em>λ</em> is the wavelength.

Then replacing with the data of the problem,

f=\frac{120\frac{m}{s} }{0.7m}

f=171.43\frac{1}{s}

f=171.43 Hz (because \frac{1}{s} = Hz, 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second).

What is the best unit to use when measuring the mass of a mineral sample?
Ksivusya [100]
Measuring density: Measure the mass (in grams) of each mineral sample available to you. The mass of each sample is measured using a balance or electronic scale. Record mass on a chart.

Which method of measurement would be accurate but lack precision?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

Which statements describe features that maps and globes share? Check all that apply.
leonid [27]

Maps and Globes share the following features:

Both are scale Models.

Explanation:

A globe is a scale model of the Earth that presents the most accurate depiction of geographic information such as area, distance, and direction.

A map is a two dimensional representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface, or a part of it, on a flat surface, according to a scale. Thus it is also a scale model.

A globe differs from a map. It is a three dimensional sphere representing the whole Earth.

A map is usually used to represent a specific part of the Earth and is used for Navigation. It has details and symbols. However, a globe can not be used for such details.

A globe can be used to get a broad-level picture of the world.

Keywords: geography, earth, maps, globes
