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

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = \frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = \sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }

      = 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

      = (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Calculate the air pressure in the pressurized tank, if h1 = 0. 18 m, h2 = 0. 2m and h3 = 0. 25m. The density of the mercury, wat
fomenos

The air pressure in the pressurized tank will be 24014.88 N/m²,196.2 N/m²,2084.625  N/m².

<h3 /><h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an item per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure.

It is denoted by P. The pressure relative to the ambient pressure is known as gauge pressure.

Pressure is found as the product of the density,acceleraton due to gravity and the height.

P₁=ρ₁gh₁

P₁=13,600 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×0.18 m

P₁=24014.88 N/m²

P₂=ρ₂gh₂

P₂= 1000 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×00.2 m

P₂=196.2 N/m²

P₃=ρ₃gh₃

P₃=850 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×0.25

P₃=2084.625  N/m²

Hence,the air pressure in the pressurized tank will be 24014.88 N/m²,196.2 N/m²,2084.625  N/m².

The air in a room has a pressure of 1 atm, a dry-bulb temperature of 24°C, and a wet-bulb temperature of 17°C. Using the psychro
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Given that

Dry-bulb temperature(T) =24°C

Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) = 17°C

Pressure ,P = 1 atm

As we know that  psychrometric chart are drawn at constant pressure.

From the diagram

ω= specific humidity

Lets take these two lines   Dry-bulb temperature(T) line and Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) cut at point P

From chart at point P

a)

Specific humidity,ω = 0.00922 kg/kg

b)

The enthalpy ( h)

h=47.59 KJ/kg

c)

The relative humidity, RH

RH= 49.58 %

d)

Specific volume ,

v= 0.853 m³/kg
