Answer:

The golfer is at greater risk.

Explanation:

The golfer is holding a metal club. Metal is a good conductor for electricity (lightning), meaning electrons can pass through easily. Her caddy is at lesser risk because she is holding a plastic handled umbrella. Plastic is an insulator, which does not easily allow the movement of electrons to pass.

The mass flow rate in a 4.0-m wide, 2.0-m deep channel is 4000 kg/s of water. If the velocity distribution in the channel is lin
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

V = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

given data:

width of channel =  4 m

depth of channel = 2 m

mass flow rate = 4000 kg/s = 4 m3/s

we know that mass flow rate is given as

\dot{m}=\rho AV

Putting all the value to get the velocity of the flow

\frac{\dot{m}}{\rho A} = V

V = \frac{4000}{1000*4*2}

V = 0.5 m/s

When an object is moving, we use the following coefficient for friction calculations a)-μk b)-μs c)-γk d)- γs
Reika [66]

Answer:\mu_{k}

Explanation:

We use kinetic friction when a body is moving i.e. \mu_{k} for calculations.

Static friction is used when a body is in rest while kinetic friction is used when a body is moving and its value is quite low as compared to static friction .

Static friction value increases as we apply more force while kinetic friction occurs when there is relative motion between bodies.
