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.

Cuando una persona sube y baja una escalera, Cuanto vale su desplazamiento y cual es la medida de su trayectoria.
adoni [48]

Answer:

Primero, definimos el desplazamiento como la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial.

Así, si comenzamos abajo, luego subimos la escalera, y luego bajamos, la posición final y la posición inicial serán la misma

por lo que el desplazamiento es igual a cero.

La medida recorrida es el espacio total recorrido.

Es decir, si entre el principio y el final de la escalera hay una distancia D.

La persona que sube y baja, recorre esta distancia dos veces.

Entonces cuando una persona sube y baja la escalera, la medida de su trayectoria será 2*D.

A 2000 kg truck traveling north at 34 km/h turns east and accelerates to 58 km/h. (a) What is the change in the truck's kinetic
barxatty [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s

Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s

(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy, \Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

\Delta E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2000\ kg\times (16.11^2-9.44^2)

\Delta E=170418.5\ J

\Delta E=1.7\times 10^5\ J

(b) Change in momentum of the truck, \Delta p=m(v-u)

\Delta p=2000\ kg\times (16.11-9.44)

\Delta p=13340\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two protons move at speed v, one along the x axis and one along the y axis. What is the relative speed of the two protons? Evalu
forsale [732]

Answer:

0.85 c

Explanation:

When the two travel at right angles to each other , their relative velocity is given by the hypotenuse formed by the x and y direction velocities.

Relative velocity of the two protons is  given as

\sqrt{v^{2}+v^{2}} = (\sqrt{2} ) v

If v = 3/5 c , then the relative speed = \sqrt{2} (3/5c) =0.85 c
