Answer:

Most of us have experienced some form of electric “shock,” where electricity causes our body to experience pain or trauma. If we are fortunate, the extent of that experience is limited to tingles or jolts of pain from static electricity buildup discharging through our bodies.

When we are working around electric circuits capable of delivering high power to loads, electric shock becomes a much more serious issue, and pain is the least significant result of shock.

As electric current is conducted through a material, any opposition to the current (resistance) results in a dissipation of energy, usually in the form of heat. This is the most basic and easy-to-understand effect of electricity on living tissue: current makes it heat up. If the amount of heat generated is sufficient, the tissue may be burnt.

The effect is physiologically the same as damage caused by an open flame or other high-temperature source of heat, except that electricity has the ability to burn tissue well beneath the skin of a victim, even burning internal organs.

The organ system that moves blood around your body?

The cardiovascular system moves blood through hour body. It is made up of the Heart pumping the blood that is circulated around the body through its networks of arteries, veins and capillaries. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems together make up the circulatory system.

4. Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same.

Arlecino [84]

Current would increase proportionally to voltage. Power dissipation (heating) would increase with the square of the voltage. And resistance means, "the refusal to accept or comply with something"

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli

Lunna [17]

Answer:

a. $v=3.11mls$ , $29.4^{0}$

b. $K.E =-697.8J$

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 $p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\$

Momentum of player 2 $p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\$

Hence the total momentum $p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\$

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence $p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\$

$(95+90)v=475i+270j\\$

$v=2.57i+1.45j\\$

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

$v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls$

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

$\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}$

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

$K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\$

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

$K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J$

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

$K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5$

$K.E =-697.8J$

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy

A car accelerates from 300 km/h to 140 km/h in 2.53 seconds. what is the distance covered?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time

Change in Velocity = 36-18 = 18 km/h=5 m/s

Time= 5 Seconds

Acceleration = 5/5= 1 m/s2

Equation of motion,s=ut+(1/2)at2

u=18 km/h=5 m/s

t=5 s

a=1 m/s2

s= (5*5)+(1/2*1*5*5)

s=25+12.5 i.e., s=37.5 m

Hope you are clear with my explanations
