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 helium nucleus (charge = 2e, mass = 6.63 10-27 kg) traveling at 6.20 105 m/s enters an electric field, traveling from point ci
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on helium nucleus is 2e and its mass is 6.63\times 10^{-27}\ kg

Speed of nucleus at A is v_A=6.2\times 10^5\ m/s

Potential at point A, V_A=1.5\times 10^3\ V

Potential at point B, V_B=4\times 10^3\ V

We need to find the speed at point B on the circle. It is based on the concept of conservation of energy such that :

increase in kinetic energy = increase in potential×charge

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)={(4\times 10^3-1.5\times 10^3)}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-16}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=\dfrac{2\times 8\times 10^{-16}}{6.63\times 10^{-27}}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B^2=(6.2\times 10^5)^2-2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the speed at point B is 3.78\times 10^5\ m/s.

calculate earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the s
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m  * 1609.344 m

  = 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }   --------- (1)

a = 149.668 * 10^8

E (eccentricity ) = ( 1/60 )^2

\beta = 90°

input the given values into equation 1 above

r = 149.626 * 10^9 m

next calculate the Earths velocity of approach towards the sun using this equation

v^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 }{r_{c} }   ------ (2)

Note :

Rc = 149.626 * 10^9 m

equation 2 becomes

(V^2 = (\frac{4\pi^{2}  }{149.626*10^9})

therefore : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s

The projectile formula is given by :

h=-16t^2+v_ot

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

-16t^2+250t=500

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds

So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
