Typically during thunderstorms most lightning strikes carry a negative electric charge; only a few carry a positive charge. Thun

derstorms with unusually high proportions of positive-charge strikes tend to occur in smoky areas near forest fires. The fact that smoke carries positively charged smoke particles into the air above a fire suggests the hypothesis that the extra positive strikes occur because of the presence of such particles in the storm clouds. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, most seriously undermines the hypothesis?
(A) Other kinds of rare lightning also occur with unusually high frequency in the vicinity of forest fires.
(B) The positive-charge strikes that occur near forest fires tend to be no more powerful than positive strikes normally are.
(C) A positive-charge strike is as likely to start a forest fire as a negative charge strike is.
(D) Thunderstorms that occur in drifting clouds of smoke have extra positive-charge strikes weeks after the charge of the smoke particles has dissipated.
(E) The total number of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm is usually within the normal range in the vicinity of a forest fire.

Answer:<em> Option (D) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

Considering the hypothesis elaborated in this comprehension, it's given that areas that tend to lie near forest fires usually have extra positive strikes since smoke carries positively charged particles. In rudimentary term, this states that occurrence of positively charged particles will result in extra positive strikes.

Option (D) states that occurrence of extra positive strikes will be there even weeks after the charge of smoke particles have been dissociated.

Therefore this option, most seriously undermines the hypothesis.

Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.50 A . Wire 2,20.0cm to the right of wire 1, carries a dow
Inessa [10]

The magnitude of the current in wire 3  is 2.4 A and in a direction pointing in the downward direction.

  • The force per unit length between two parallel thin current-carrying I_1 and I_2  wires at distance ' r ' is given by  f=\frac{u_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}   ....(1) .
  • If the current is flowing in both wires in the same direction, and  the force between them will be the attractive force and if the current is flowing in opposite direction in wires then the force between them will be the repulsive force.

A schematic of the information provided in the question can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image, force on wire 2 due to wire 1 = force on wire 2 due to wire 3

F_2_1=F_2_3

Using equation (1) , we get

\frac{u_0I_2I_1}{0.2} =\frac{u_0I_2I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{I_1}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{1.50}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\0.48=0.2I_3\\\\I_3=2.4A

I₃ = 2.4 A and the current is pointing in the downward direction

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500m3/sat a location 90 m above the lake sur
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

so

E = \frac{1}{2}×m×v² + m×g×h    .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

A 2.0-kg ball has a momentum of 25kg.m/s what is the ball's speed?
Reil [10]

We know, momentum = mass * speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg * s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s
