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

between the conductors.
Physics
1 answer:
Aleks [24]3 years ago
6 0

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.

the earth has a radius of 6.38×10^16 meter and turns around once on its axis in 24 hour.what is the radial acceleration of perso
Scrat [10]

337493603.8m/s²

Explanation:

Radius of the earth = 6.38 x 10¹⁶m

time = 24hr (86400s)

Unknown:

Centripetal acceleration = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is directed inward to keep the body from falling off the surface of the earth.

     centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

  where v is the velocity and r is the radius

   also;

            v  = wr

  where w is the angular velocity

substituting in the equation for centripetal acceleration gives;

                 

          a = w²r

 also w = \frac{2 x pi}{T}

      therefore;

                 a = \frac{4 \pi  ^{2} r }{T^{2} }

 a = \frac{ 4 x 3.142^{2}  x 6.38 x 10^{16} }{86400^{2} }

 a = 337493603.8m/s²

510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The terminal velocity is v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the squirrel is  m_s  =  50\ g  =  \frac{50}{1000} =  0.05 \  kg

      The surface area is   A_s =  935 cm^2  =  \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2

       The height of fall is  h =4.8 m

        The length of the prism is l =  23.2 = 0.232 \ m

          The width of the prism is w =  11.6 =  0.116 \ m

 

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

       v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s *  g }{\dho_s * C  * A } }

Where \rho  is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of \rho  =  1.21 \ kg/m^3

            C is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

            A  is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

      A =  0.116 * 0.232

       A =  0.026912 \ m^2

 substituting values

      v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 *  9.8 }{1.21 * 1  * 0.026912 } }

     v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

How do we calculate the value of work?
Katarina [22]
The percent complete is calculated by dividing the quantity of material progressed at a point in time by the total quantity required for the project. The resulting percent is multiplied by the current agreed committed value of the material item to obtain the VOWD for that item.
