Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

A flat horizontal surface with an area of 518 cm^2 is inside a uniform electric field of 1.33 x 10^4 N/C. The angle between the

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: 576.48 N*m^2/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric flux through the any surface we have to take into account the scalar product between the electric field vector and the normal vector to the surface.

So we have:

ФE= E*A= 1.33 * 10^4*0.0518* cos (33.2°)= 576.48 N*m^2/C

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high

Jupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject materia

kramer

Answer:

The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $M_{Io}=8.93\times10^{22}\ kg$

Radius = 1821 km

Height $h_{Io}=500\ km$

Suppose we need to find that how high would this material go on earth if it were ejected with the same speed as on Io?

We need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on Io

Using formula of gravity

$g =\dfrac{GM_{Io}}{(R_{Io})^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times8.93\times10^{22}}{(1821\times10^{3})^2}$

$g=1.79\ m/s^2$

Let v be the speed at which the material is ejected.

We need to calculate the height

Using the formula of height

$H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

Using ratio of height of earth and height of Io

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{e}}}{\dfrac{v^2}{2g_{Io}}}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{g_{Io}}{g_{e}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=\dfrac{1.79}{9.8}$

$\dfrac{H_{e}}{H_{Io}}=0.182$

$H_{e}=0.182\times H_{Io}$

$H_{e}=0.182\times500$

$H_{e}=91\ km$

Hence, The height reached by the material on Earth is 91 km.
