A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 50 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands

makes good contact with the two conductors he is holding, one in each hand. If his resistance is 2000 0, what might the fatal voltage be?

Answer:

Fatal voltage will be 1000 volt

Explanation:

We have given that current is very small as i=50 mA=50\times 10^{-3}A

Resistance is given as R = 20000 ohm

We have to find the fatal velotage

According to ohm's law

We know that voltage is given by V=iR

So fatal voltage will be V=50\times 10^{-3}\times 20000=1000volt

So fatal voltage will be 1000 volt

a 2kg marble is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes another 4kg marble moving in the opposite direction at -3 m/s. What will be the
Elan Coil [88]
Momentum is conserved after the collision 

Momentum of 2 Kg before collision = 2 * 3 = 6
Momentum of 4 kg  before collision = 4 * -3 = -12

so 6 + -12 = 2 * -4 + 4 *x   where x is velocity of 4kg marble.

4x - 8 = -6
4x = 2
x = 0.5 

Velocity of 4 kg marble is 0.5 m/s after collision

The 2 kg marble will move in the opposite direction to which it was moving before the collision.

After hitting the spring, the block is bounced back up the ramp. The maximum compression of the spring is Δx=0.03m, and the spri
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

v = 1.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.03\ m

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Mass of the block, m = 0.2 kg

To find,

The velocity of the block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp.

Solution,

When the block is bounced back up the ramp, the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the block such that,

Initial energy = Final energy

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting all the values in above equation,

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 800\times 0.03^2=0.2\times 9.8\times 0.1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times v^2

v = 1.28 m/s

Therefore the velocity of block when it first reaches a height of 0.1 m above the ground on the ramp is 1.28 m/s.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)
Luden [163]

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.
