Suppose that after walking across a carpeted floor you reach for a doorknob and just before you touch it a spark jumps 0.95cm fr

om your finger to the knob. Find the minimum voltage needed between your finger and the doorknob to generate this spark. The minimum field that can produce a spark in air is 3.0x10^6 V/m. V = _______ V

To solve this problem we will consider the definition of Minimum Energy, as the change between the minimum voltage and its distance. Mathematically it can be written as

E_{min} = \frac{V_{min}}{r}

Rearranging to find the Voltage,

V_{min} = E_{min} \times r

Replacing,

V_{min} = (3.0) \times (0.95*10^4)

V_{min} = 28500V

Therefore the minimum voltage needed between your finger and the doorknob to generate this spark is 28.5kV

Water evaporates from the surface of the land and oceans, rises and cools, condenses into rain or snow, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. The water falling on land collects in rivers and lakes, soil, and porous layers of rock, and much of it flows back into the oceans. The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth. so that will be probs the best i can do

How are Earth and Venus similar? How is Venus different from Earth? (Provide two similarities and two differences.)
Alika [10]
Venus shares a similar size, surface composition, and has an atmosphere with a complex weather system. Venus is different from Earth because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and it’s rotation is very slow.

A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point
pogonyaev

Answer:

L = 1.545 m

Explanation:

Let the total length of the rod is L

now the torque must applied on the other end of the rod so that it will balance the torque due to weight of rock on other side of fulcrum

so we will have

mg \times d = F(L - d)

so we have

325\times 9.8 \times 0.266 = F(L - 0.266)

F = 663 N

848 = 663(L - 0.266)

L = 1.545 m
