2 answers:

8 0

In Building, there are a host of protective devices that are installed to protect lives and properties, one of them is the Lightning Conductor that a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. It works on the principle of induction

<h3>Principle of Operation of Lightning Conductor</h3>

The lightning conductor works on the principle of induction:

When a charged cloud passes by the building hosting the Lightning conductor, it gets a charge opposite to that of the cloud through the process of induction.
They are Typically made from copper material.

Most Lightening conductors are made from copper materials.

A boy on the beach holds a spherical balloon filled with air. at 10:00am, the temperature on the beach is 20°c and the balloon h

Anon25 [30]

For idea gases, volume is directly proportional to temperature. That is, an increase in temperature leads to increase in volume and vice versa.

Therefore,
V1/T1 = V2/T2 => T2 = (V2*T1)/V1

Assuming that the balloon is spherical in shape,

V= 4/3*pi*R^3.... In the formula for calculating T2, 4/3*pi cancels out.

R1 = 30/2 15 cm; R2 = 30.5/2 = 15.25 cm; T1 = 20+273.15 =293.15 K

Therefore,

T2 = (R2^3*T1)/R1^3 = (15.25^3*293.15)/15^3 = 308.05 K = 34.9 °C

Please help me with questions 1, 2 and 3. <br> i need a step by step explanation

kifflom [539]

Answer:

1) d

2) 5 m/s

3) 100

Explanation:

The equation of position x for a constant acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀, time t is:

(i) $x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0$

The equation for velocity v and a constant acceleration a is:

(ii) $v=at+v_0$

1) Solve equation (ii) for acceleration a and plug the result in equation (i)

(iii) $a = \frac{v -v_0}{t}$

(iv) $x = \frac{v-v_0}{2t}t^2+v_0t + x_0$

Simplify equation (iv) and use the given values v = 0, x₀ = 0:

(v) $x=-\frac{v_0}{2}t + v_0t= \frac{v_0}{2}t$

2) Given v₀= 3m/s, a=0.2m/s², t=10 s. Using equation (ii) to get the final velocity v: $v=at+v_0=0.2\frac{m}{s^2} * 10s+3\frac{m}{s}=2\frac{m}{s}+3\frac{m}{s}=5\frac{m}{s}$

3) Given v₀=0m/s, t₁=10s, t₂=1s and x₀=0. Looking for factor f = x(t₁)/x(t₂) using equation(i) to calculate x(t₁) and x(t₂):

$f=\frac{x(t_1)}{x(t_2)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 }{\frac{1}{2}at_2^2}=\frac{t_1^2}{t_2^2}=\frac{10^2}{1^2}=\frac{100}{1}$

Astronomy can best be described as a/an

Alchen [17]

<span>Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Astronomy can best be described as a/an" is "study of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere."</span>

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

a= μ g ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}$

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2$

$kX^2=(m+M)v^2$

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.
