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.

In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 80
notka56 [123]
The hint is "constant speed". 
If there is a net force on an object, what occurs to that object? F net = m*a.... It accelerates! 
So, if the desk is going at a CONSTANT speed, what does that tell you about the acceleration? There is a change in speed. 
Fnet = m*a Since a = 0 Fnet = 0 
Fnet = sum of the force... reflect the direction of F as the positive direction. Sum of the forces in the direction of F = 0 0 = F - friction F = friction 
So, if F = 800 N, then friction = 800 N in the opposite direction.

4. Which of the following would be a good reference point to describe the motion of a dog?
saul85 [17]

ANOTHER RUNNING DOG

Explanation:

In the given question it is to find a suitable reference point to describe  the motion of dog. Here I could suggest that it is better to compare the dog with  another running dog to create the relative speed difference to get a reliable motion variation.

Because the motion of dog is in the linear with respect to the another dog and to the acceleration produced by the dog in the required interval is easy to calculate with respect to  another dog which is already in motion.

Hence, I suggest that Motion of dog can be analysed better by analyse the motion variation of dog with  another dog running.
