Answer:

Hello, the tripping of a 230-kilovolt transmission line.

Explanation:

the tripping of a 230-kilovolt transmission line near Ontario, Canada, at 5:16 p.m., which caused several other heavily loaded lines also to fail. Hopefully this helps you find what your looking for!.

Answer:

The answer is v = \sqrt{2G\frac{M_s}{R^2}(R-r_s)}.

Explanation:

From the law of gravity,

F = G \frac{Mm}{r^2}

considering F as a conservative force, F = - \nabla U,

the general expression for gravitational potential energy is

U = -G \frac{Mm}{r},

where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the mass of the attracting bodies, and r is the distance between their centers. The negative sign is because the force approaches zero for large distances, and we choose the zero of gravitational potential energy at an infinite distance away.

However, as the mass of the Sun is much greater than the mass of the rock, the gravitational acceleration is defined as

g = -G \frac{M}{r^2},

(the negative sign indicates that the force is an attractive force), and the potential energy between the rock and the Sun is

U = g M_e R,

which is actually the total energy of the system, because the rock materializes stationary at this point (there is no radial kinetic energy).

When the rock hits the surface of the Sun, almost all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, but not all because the Sun is not a puntual mass. So the potential energy converted to kinetic energy is

U_p = g M_e(R- r_s),

then, the kinetik energy when the rock hits the surface is

U_k =\frac{1}{2}M_e v^2 = g M_e(R- r_s),

so

v = \sqrt{2g(R-r_s)}

where g is the gravitational acceleration generated by the Sun at R,

g = G \frac{M_s}{R^2}.

The Sun is a star that is in a stable state called the main sequence.
nlexa [21]
Astronomers believe some stars are moving away from earth by measuring the extent to which their light is “stretched” into the red part of the color spectrum, representing the lower frequencies on that spectrum.

In short, stars moving away from earth are “red-shift”, while if they were moving towards the earth they would take on a “blue-shift”.

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.
stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

P=\frac{W}{t}    .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

P=\frac{F.s}{t}

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m   (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W

Hence, the correct option is Option b.
