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

Aleks [24]

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.

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit

damaskus [11]

Answer:

$a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

$V_f^2-V_i^2=2as$

Where:

$V_f$ is the final velocity

$V_i$ is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

$V_f=V_{escape}, V_i=0,s=4 m$

So Equation will become:

$V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2$

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = $3.125*10^6m/s^2$

A skier accelerates down the hill at 3m/s2 how fast is he going in 4 seconds

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Explanation: simple kinematics

we suppose that initially vo= 0 so if the skier moves 4s :

vf = vo +at = 0 + 3*4 = 12 m/s

An object is placed perpendicular to the the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 8,the distance of the object from the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

v = 24 cm and inverted image

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the object, f = +8 cm

Object distance, u = -12 cm

We need to find the position &nature of the image. Let v be the image distance. Using lens formula to find it :

$\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Put all the values,

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{(-12)}\\\\v=24\ cm$

So, the image distance from the lens is 24 cm.

Magnification,

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{24}{-12}\\\\m=-2$

The negative sign of magnification shows that the formed image is inverted.

What is the wavelength, in nm, of the line in the hydrogen spectrum when one n value is 3 and the other n value is 6?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

$\lambda=1090nm$

Explanation:

Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})$

Where $R_H$ is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and $n_1$ , $n_2$ are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.10*10^{7}m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{6^2})\\\frac{1}{\lambda}=9.17*10^{5}m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.09*10^{6}m^{-1}}\\\lambda=1.09*10^{-6}m*\frac{10^{9}nm}{1m}\\\lambda=1090nm$
