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

If Juan upgrades from a sports car to a large truck, what will happen to the
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The force must increase

Explanation:

According to newton's second law "force is the product of mass and acceleration".

      Force  = mass  x acceleration

Now, the mass of the sports car is lesser compared to that of the truck. Therefore, to take both automobiles to the same speed, enough force must be applied by the engine of the truck.

There must be an increase in the force in order to make both automobiles attain the same speed.

Calculate the radius of the orbit of a proton moving at 2.2x10^6 m/s in a magnetic field 0.7 T where v and B are perpendicular.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

3.28 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

The mass and  charge of a proton are:

m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

So, we get that the radius r will be:

r =  \frac{1.67 * 10^-27 kg * 2.2*10^6 m/s}{1.6 * 10^-19 C* 0.7 T} = 0.0328 m, or 3.28  cm.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2. west

Explanation:

Given an electron is moving vertically upward from ground.

Now Fleming right hand rule state that: make L shape with thumb and index finger then point middle finger perpendicular to index and thumb.Then index finger points in the direction of moving charge , middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force.

According to Fleming right hand rule the direction of the magnetic that acts on the electron is west.

A runner moves west with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. She accelerates 3 m/s2 for 30 seconds. The runner's final velocity is
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

v = 94m/s

Explanation:

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

u = 4m/s , a = 3m/s² , t = 30s , v = ?

v = u + at

v = 4 + 3 × 30

v = 4 + 90

v = 94m/s
