Answer: Lightning is mostly light and electricity, this light that is hitting is going at a rate of 299,792.458 km per second (or 186,282 miles per second) this is so much compared to sound which only travels at about 761 mph (or approximately 332 meters per second). Fun fact: The lightening you are seeing is that coming back to the cloud because the process happens so fast.

An electron with kinetic energy 2.9 keV moving along the positive direction of an x axis enters a region in which a uniform elec
Vladimir79 [104]

The electric force on the electron is opposite in direction to the electric field E. E points in the -y direction, so the electric force will point in the +y direction. The magnitude of the electric force is given by:

F = Eq

F = electric force, E = electric field strength, q = electron charge

We need to set up a magnetic field such that the magnetic force on the electron balances out the electric force. Since the electric force points in the +y direction, we need the magnetic force to point in the -y direction. Using the  reversed right hand rule, the magnetic field must point in the -z direction for this to happen. Since the direction is perpendicular to the +x direction of the electron's velocity, the magnetic force is given by:

F = qvB

F = magnetic force, q = charge, v = velocity, B = magnetic field strength

The electric force must equal the magnetic force.

Eq = qvB

Do some algebra to isolate B:

E = vB

B = E/v

Let's solve for the electron's velocity. Its kinetic energy is given by:

KE = 0.5mv²

KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

Given values:

KE = 2.9keV = 4.6×10⁻¹⁶J

m = 9.1×10⁻³¹kg

Plug in and solve for v:

4.6×10⁻¹⁶ = 0.5(9.1×10⁻³¹)v²

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

B = E/v

Given values:

E = 7500V/m

v = 3.2×10⁷m/s

Plug in and solve for B:

B = 7500/3.2×10⁷

B = 0.00023T

B = 0.23mT

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.
elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Some students set up a circuit and decided to measure the voltage at different points around
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

 V₁ = 6 V ,  V₂ = V₃ = 3 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we must remember that there are two fundamental types of construction in series and parallel.

* a serial circuit there is only one path for current

in this circuit the constant current in the entire circuit and the voltage is the sum of the voltage of each term

* Parallel circuit in this there are two or more paths for the current

in this circuit the voltage is constant and the east is divided between each branch

with these principles let's analyze the proposed circuit

The DC battery is in parallel with resistor R1 and the equivalent of the other branch,

as in a parallel circuit the voltage is constant

               V₁ = 6 V

in the other branch (23) it forms a series construction, where the current is constant

               6 = iR₂ + iR₃

as they indicate that each resistance has the same value

              6 = 2 iR

              V = V₂ = V₃ = 3 V
