If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur

between the conductors.

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and $v=15.5 m/s$ is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is
$U=mgh$
where $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
$U=K$
and so
$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
from which we find the height:
$h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m$

Why, on a sunny day, it is normally hot inside a greenhouse

Because of the greenhouse gases inside the greenhouse, and the gases trap the heat from the sun so the plant don't freeze, hope this helps

An object undergoes two successive displacements:

Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

$d_1=79 m$ at $16.9^{\circ}$

So its components are

$d_{1x}=(79)(cos 16.9^{\circ})=75.6 m\\d_{1y}=(79)(sin 16.9^{\circ})=23.0 m$

2nd displacement is:

$d_2=16.7 m$ at $31.1^{\circ}$

So its components are

$d_{2x}=(16.7)(cos 31.1^{\circ})=14.3 m\\d_{2y}=(16.7)(sin 31.1^{\circ})=8.6 m$

Therefore, the x- and y-components of the net displacement are:

$d_x=d_{1x}+d_{2x}=75.6+14.3=89.9 m\\d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=23.0+8.6=31.6 m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the final displacement is:

$d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(89.9)^2+(31.6)^2}=95.3 m$

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Mass of bumper cars, $m_1=m_2=110\ kg$

Initial speed of car A, $u_1=8\ m/s$

Initial speed of car Z, $u_2=-10\ m/s$

Final speed of car A after the collision, $v_1=-10\ m/s$

We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to $v_2$ . Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$110\times 8+110\times (-10)=110\times (-10)+110v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{-1320}{110}\ m/s$

$v_2=-12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.
