How can a gas become a good conductor? Simpler answers would be helpful.

Alex_Xolod [135]

A gas has to become ionisied in order to become a conductor. It must have a chain reaction in which atoms in it became unstable, in which they loose stabile electronic configuration. In order for a gas to become a conductor, it must have free particles, and it can happen only in ionisied gas.

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

The Eurasian Plate

Explanation:

The Eurasian plate is one of the most extended on Earth, crossing all of Asia and Europe. The Eurasian plate is between the North American and the African Plates on the north and west sides. The Eurasian plate crushed up above the Indian plate. The Tibetan plateau and the Himalayan mountain range formed due to the crush between the Eurasian Plate and Indian Plate, which started 50 million years ago.

The current in a coil with a self-inductance of 1 mH is 2.8 A at t = 0, when the coil is shorted through a resistor. The total r

pogonyaev

Given:

L = 1 mH = $1\times 10^{-3}$ H

total Resistance, R = 11 $\Omega$

current at t = 0 s,

$I_{o}$ = 2.8 A

Formula used:

$I = I_{o}\times e^-{\frac{R}{L}t}$

Solution:

Using the given formula:

current after t = 0.5 ms = $0.5\times 10^{-3} s$

for the inductive circuit:

$I = 2.8\times e^-{\frac{11}{1\times 10^{-3}}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}$

$I = 2.8\times e^-5.5$

I =0.011 A
