Answer:

Lightning is a process that occurs when the positive and negative charges present in the cloud build up in such a manner that a spark of lightning occurs between the two of them in the cloud. ... A metal rod placed on top of a building to protect it from a lightning strike is known as a lightning conductor.

Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.


A lightning rod (US, AUS, CA) or lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike

Two vectors are given by a = 8.6i + 5.1 j and b = 931 + 9.5.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

<u>Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j</u> <em>(b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong):</em>

a) a×b = 34.27k

b) a·b = 128.43

c) (a + b)·b = 305.17

d) The component of a along the direction of b = 9.66

Explanation:

<u>Assuming b = 9.3i + 9.5j</u> <em>(b = 931 + 9.5 is wrong)</em> we can proceed as follows:  

a) The vectorial product, a×b  is:

a \times b = (8.6*9.5 - 5.1*9.3)k = 34.27k

b) The escalar product a·b is:

a\cdot b = (8.6*9.3) + (5.1*9.5) = 128.43

c) <u>Asumming (a</u><u> </u><u>+ b)·b</u> <em>instead a+b·b</em> we have:

(a + b)\cdot b = [(8.6 + 9.3)i + (5.1 + 9.5)j]\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = (17.9i + 14.6j)\cdot (9.3i + 9.5j) = 305.17

d) The component of a along the direction of b is:

a*cos(\theta) = \frac{a\cdot b}{|b|} = \frac{128.43}{\sqrt{9.3^{2} + 9.5^{2}}} = 9.66

I hope it helps you!

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude and frequency along close parallel lines. They pass each othe
deff fn [24]

Answer:

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

y = A sin\omega t

y = \frac{A}{5}

so now we have

\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t

now we have

\theta_1 = 11.53 degree

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree

so we have phase difference given as

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53

\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree

Two men are standing on a frictionless ice surface holding opposite ends of a rope. One man (mass = 80 kg) pulls on the rope wit
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Mass of man 1, m₁ = 80 kg

Mass of man 2, m₂ = 60 kg

One man pulls on the rope with a force of 250 N.

Let a₁ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₁a₁

a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{250}{80}\\\\a_1=3.125\ m/s^2

Let a₂ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₂a₂

a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{250}{60}\\\\a_2=4.167\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.
