Physics
1 answer:
just olya [345]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, variations in the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. ... Wind turbines convert the energy in wind to electricity by rotating propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor turns the drive shaft, which turns an electric generator

Explain why a bolt of lightning is like the spark you might see when you touch a metal object and get a shock.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Just like lightning, the spark you see is the discharge of static electricity that equalizes the charges.  When you touch a metal object and get a shock, electrons are travelling in between you and the object to equalize the charges of the two objects.  The light that is seen is the plasma created by electrons jumping between objects which heats the air surrounding them.

A block of wood weighs 160 N and has a specific gravity of 0.60. To sink it in fresh water requires an additional downward force
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Your answer is: D) 110N

Hope this helped : )

Explanation:

In order for the wood to sink, it's specific gravity must equal 1 (or greater).

Specific gravity = .6 kg/m^3= Mass/volume

F (Newtons or kg x m/s^2) = Mass*9.8m/s^2.  

Therefore, Mass = 160 N / 9.8 m/s^2= 16.32 kg

Volume = Mass/Specific Gravity = 16.32kg/.6 kg/m^3 = 27.2 m^3

Desired Specific gravity = 1 = (Mass + additional force/9.8m/s^2)/Volume = (16.32 kg +X / 9.8m/s^2)/27.2m^3

Solving for the additional force: X = 106.66...N

The answer is D, 110 N will be required to sink the block of wood.
