Hello There!

Great Question You Asked.

I Will Provide A Number Of Steps To Below To Show You Measures of Being Safe

Number 1.

Find shelter immediately. If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, the key to minimizing danger is to get inside a protective structure. While most people seek shelter if lightning appears to be near, people commonly wait too long to seek shelter. If you can detect lightning, it may be close enough to strike you so always make sure you are safe.

Number 2.

Try to stay away from windows because windows provide a direct path for lightning.

Number 3.

Don’t touch anything metal or electrical.

A transverse mechanical wave is traveling along a string lying along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of

Wewaii [24]

(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

(2) The velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

(3) The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

<h3> Wavelength of the wave</h3>

A general wave equation is given as;

y(x, t) = A sin(Kx - ωt)

<h3>Velocity of the wave</h3>

v = ω/K

From the given wave equation, we have,

y(x, t) = 0.048 sin(5.4x - 128t)

v = ω/K

where;

ω corresponds to 128
k corresponds to 5.4

v = 128/5.4

v = 23.7 m/s

<h3>Wavelength of the wave</h3>

λ = 2π/K

λ = (2π)/(5.4)

λ = 1.164 m

<h3>Maximum speed of the wave</h3>

v(max) = Aω

where;

A is amplitude of the wave
ω is angular speed of the wave

v(max) = (0.048)(128)

v(max) = 6.14 m/s

Thus, the wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

The velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = $\frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}$

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = $\frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}$

C' = $\frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}$

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

$k=\frac{C'}{C}$

substituting the values, we get

$k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}$

k = 2.279

honor physics The velocity of a 200 kg object is changed from 5 m/s to 25 m/s in 50 seconds by an applied constant force. a. Wha

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) 4000 kgm/s.

(b) 80 N

Explanation:

(a) Change in momentum: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns or kgm/s

Mathematically, Change in momentum is expressed as

ΔM = mΔv ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔM = change in momentum, m = mass of the object, Δv = change in velocity = v₂ - v₁

Given: m = 200 kg, Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 25-5 = 20 m/s.

Substituting into equation 1

ΔM = 200(20)

ΔM = 4000 kgm/s.

Hence the change in momentum = 4000 kgm/s

(b)

Force: This can be defined as the ratio of the change in momentum of a body to the time required for the change.

F = ΔM/t.............................. Equation 2

Where F = force, ΔM = change in momentum, t = time.

Given: ΔM = 4000 kgm/s, t = 50 second.

Substituting into equation 2

F = 4000/50

F = 80 N.

Hence the force = 80 N

An electric furnace that draws 40 amps with an applied voltage of 240 V will consume ________ watts.

irinina [24]

The electric furnace will consume 9600 watt of power.

To find the answer, we need to know about the electric power.

<h3>What's the electric power?</h3>

Electric power is defined as the product of voltage and current.
Mathematically, power= V×I
Its si unit is watt.

<h3>What will be the power consumed by an electric furnace that draws 40A with an applied voltage of 240V?</h3>

The power = 240×40 = 9600 watt

Thus, we can conclude that the power consumption of the electric furnace is 9600 watt.
