Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point​

Physics
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

Three bulbs are connected by tubing, and the tubing is evacuated. The volume of the tubing is 45.0 mL. The first bulb has a volu
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The final pressure of the whole system is 34.80 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 45.0 ml

Volume of first bulb = 77.0 mL

Pressure  = 8.89 atm

Volume of second  bulb = 250 mL

Pressure = 2.82 atm

Volume of third  bulb = 21.0 mL

Pressure = 8.42 atm

We need to calculate the final pressure of the whole system

Using formula of pressure

P_{1}V_{1}+P_{2}V_{2}+P_{3}V_{3}+P_{t}V_{t}=P_{f}V_{f}

Where, P_{1}= pressure of first bulb

P_{2}= pressure of second bulb

P_{3}= pressure of third bulb

P_{4}= initial pressure of tube

V_{1}= Volume of first bulb

V_{2}=Volume of second bulb

V_{3}= Volume of third bulb

V_{4}= Initial volume of tube

Put the value into the formula

8.89\times77.0+250\times2.82+21.0\times8.42+0=P_{f}\times45

P_{f}=\dfrac{1566.35}{45}

P_{f}=34.80\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the whole system is 34.80 atm.

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its equilibrium position, wha
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

3.At equilibrium, its instantaneous velocity is at maximum

Explanation:

The motion of a mass on the end of a spring is a simple harmonic motion. In a simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of the system is constant, and it is sum of the elastic potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy of the mass (K):

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = const.

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium

m is the mass

v is the speed

As we see from the formula, since the total energy E is constant, when the displacement (x) increases, the speed (v) increases, and viceversa. Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.
