Lightning rods provide low resistance paths to the ground that’ll be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes happen. So the system will attempt to carry the harmful electrical current away from it and safely to ground. The system will have the ability to handle enormous electrical currents associated with the lightning strikes, if they contact a material that isn’t a good conductor then the material will suffer massive heat damage. So the lightning rod system is considered the best conductor & this allows the current to flow to the ground without causing any massive heat damage.

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

What is the force on a box that is being pushed to the right with 50n of force while, at the same time, being pushed to the left
elena-s [515]
I think the question meant to say net force on the box. Since force is a vector, the direction matters. 20N left is negated completely by the 50N right, which means the net force is 50N-20N to the right, 30N.

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 20
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The time it can operate between chargins in minutes is

t=102.8 minutes

Explanation:

Given: m=500kg, r=1.0m, w=200\pi rad/s

a). The rotational kinetic energy

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*500kg*(1.0m)^2

I=250 kg*m^2

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*250kg*m^2*(200\pi rad/s)^2

K_R=49.348x10^6J

b). The power average 0.8kW un range time can be find

P=\frac{K_R}{t'}

Solve to t'

t=\frac{K_R}{P}

t=\frac{49.348x10^6}{0.8x10^3w}=6168.5s

t=6168.5s\frac{1minute}{60s}=102.8 minutes
