a) Potential difference needed: 10,000 V
b) Because the potential difference in the house is maximum 230 V
Explanation:
a)
The relationship between current, potential difference and resistance in a conductor is given by Ohm's law:
where
V is the potential difference
R is the resistance
I is the current
The resistance of the human body is estimated to be as high as for a dry body and as low as
for a wet body: in this problem, we use a value in the middle,
Therefore, the potential difference needed to produce a current of
is
b)
Here we want to estimate if it is likely or not to get injured by an electric current in a house.
The amount of current that can be fatal is . From part a), we saw that in order to produce this current through the human body, a potential difference of
is needed.
However, the electricity that reaches the houses and then is connected to the household appliances has a potential difference of
V = 230 V
This value is much lower than 10,000 V, therefore the electricity in the house is unlikely to cause injures to human body.

Answer:
0.56
Explanation:
Let the coefficient of friction is μ.
m = 4.3 kg, θ = 30 degree, initial velocity, u = 0, s = 2.7 m, t = 5.8 s
By the free body diagram,
Normal reaction, N = mg Cosθ = 4.3 x 9.8 x Cos 30 = 36.49 N
Friction force, f = μ N = 36.49 μ
Net force acting on the block,
Fnet = mg Sinθ - f = 4.3 x 9.8 x Sin 30 - 36.49 μ
Fnet = 21.07 - 36.49μ
Net acceleartion, a = Fnet / m
a = (21.07 - 36.49μ) / 4.3
use second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 a t^2
2.7 = 0 + 1/2 x (21.07 - 36.49μ) x 5.8 x 5.8 / 4.3
By solving we get
μ = 0.56
