It is good idea to touch a metal pole or conductor before filling the car with gas because of danger conditions generated while filling which because of the static discharge of current causing spark.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The static discharge of current can be passed while filling up the car with gas which will cause generation of electricity and hence the spark is ignited which can be fatal due to the combustion of the gas.

Answer:

because it form static electricity which can cause fire so it is good to touch a metal pole or similar conducter because they will help us to pass the current in the ground

An unpolarized light with an intensity of 20W/m^2 is passed through a pair of polarizers. The first polarizer is set at an angle
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

4.416 W/m²

Explanation:

Malus' law is given mathematically as

I = I₀ cos² θ

For the first polarizer, θ = 60°

I₁ = I₀ cos² 60°

I₁ = I₀ (0.5)² = 0.25I₀

For the second polarizer, θ = 20°

I₂ = I₁ cos² 20°

I₂ = I₁ (0.9397)² = 0.883 I₁

I₂ = 0.883 × 0.25I₀ = 0.2208 I₀

Note that

I₀ = 20 W/m²

I₂ = 0.2208 × 20 = 4.416 W/m²

Hope this Helps!!!

A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 75.0 V across the length of a Nichrome wire that has a 3.83 ×
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Explanation:

power of a heating element = V² / R where V is voltage and R is resistance

putting in the values

5200 = 75² / R

R = 1.082 ohm

Formula for resistance

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

1.082 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 8.29 m

b )

power of a heating element = V² / R , R is new resistance

5200 = 120² / R

R = 2.77 ohm

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

2.77 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 21.22 m

A bullet is accelerated down the barrel of a gun by hot gases produced in the combustion of gun powder. What is the average forc
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<h2>9.3kN</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullet= 0.02kg

speed v=700m/s

time taken =1.5ms= 0.0015 seconds

Step two:

we know that from the first law

F=ma-----1  first law of motion

also, we know that

a=v/t----2

put a=v/t in equation 1 we have

F=mv/t

Step three:

substitute our given data to find force

F=0.02*700/0.0015

F=14/0.0015

F=9333.33N

F=9.3kN

<u>The average force exerted is 9.3kN</u>

A hockey puck, mass of 0.115 kg, moving at 35 m/s strikes a ray thrown on the ice by a fan. The ray has a mass of 0.265 kg. The
emmainna [20.7K]
We can use conservation of momentum. MaVa + MbVb = (Ma+Mb)Vf.

Plugging in values:
(.115)(35) + (.265)0 = (.380)(Vf)

Now solve for Vf.
Vf= .115*35 / .380 = 10.6 m/s
