SVEN [57.7K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Correct Answer is option C

Explanation:

Option A cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are negatively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it because electron is negatively charged and it will get attracted towards positively charged terminal. Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option B

cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are positively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it.Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option C

It is correct option because flow of current means flow of electron. so electron which are negatively charged particle will move from cloud to positively charged ground.

Option D

If clouds are neutral then electron will not be there and hence current will not flow.

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m

We know that the Moon revolves around Earth during a period of 27.3 days. The average distance from the center of Earth to the c
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a circular motion questions

Where the oscillation is 27.3days

Given radius (r)=3.84×10^8m

Circular motion formulas

V=wr

a=v^2/r

w=θ/t

Now, the moon makes one complete oscillation for 27.3days

Then, one complete oscillation is 2πrad

Therefore, θ=2πrad

Then 27.3 days to secs

1day=24hrs

1hrs=3600sec

Therefore, 1day=24×3600secs

Now, 27.3days= 27.3×24×3600=2358720secs

t=2358720secs

Now,

w=θ/t

w=2π/2358720 rad/secs

Now,

V=wr

V=2π/2358720 ×3.84×10^8

V=1022.9m/s

Then,

a=v^2/r

a=1022.9^2/×3.84×10^8

a=0.0027m/s^2

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

P=\rho.g.h

\rho=density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

  • And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
