What can cause electricity to jump across a gap

Physics
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

Analyze the following terms and phrases about solar activity. Select the two that represent correct matches between cause and ef
blagie [28]

Answer:

a) solar activity -- sudden eruptions of large bubbles of plasma and magnetic energy

and

d) solar flare -- sudden release of magnetic energy

Explanation:

We can start by eliminating the options that are definitely wrong.

A coronal mass ejection is not a relatively cool spot on surface of the sun, in fact such a spot is a sunspot, while a coronal mass ejection occurs when the  magnetic field of the sun emerges as a loop. Thus, both options B and E are incorrect, leaving only A,  C, and D. Option C makes no sense, as the sun's gravitational field does not 'churn'. Thus, only options A and D are left. A closer look at A and D reveals they are correct; solar flares are in fact sudden releases of magnetic energy, as seen in this quote from UC Berkeley's website; "Solar flares are caused by sudden changes of strong magnetic fields in the Sun's corona.". And solar activity is a blanket term for the effects of eruptions of plasma and magnetic energy from the sun.

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the mass of a truck in grams of it produces a force of 1500N while accelerating at a rate of 6 m/s²?​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

250,000

Explanation:

<h2> </h2>

<h2>formula = ( F=ma </h2>

  • F=1500N
  • a=6m/s^2
  • F= ma
  • m=?
  • 1500/6 = m
  • m=250 kg
  • 1kg =1000gm so 250kg =250,000gm
  • m =250×10^3 gm
