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.

An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s

infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on earth
Mashcka [7]

The wavelength of the infrared radiation is  λ = 3.174×10^{-5}m.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 9.45 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 9.45 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

λ=c/f

λ = 3×10^{8}/9.45×10^{12}

λ = 3.174 ×10^{-5} m

The term "infrared radiation" (IR) refers to a part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum with wavelengths between about 700 nanometers (nm) and one millimeter (mm). Longer than visible light waves but shorter than radio waves are infrared waves.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light is known as infrared, also known as infrared light. Since it is undetectable to the human eye, The typical range of wavelengths considered to be infrared (IR) is from about 1 millimeter to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, or about 700 nanometers.

alculate the kinetic energies of (a) a 2.00×103-kg automobile moving at 100.0 km/h; (b) an 80.0-kg runner sprinting at 10.0 m/s;
zzz [600]

Answer:

(a) 7.72×10⁵ J

(b) 4000 J

(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

(a)

For a moving automobile,

Ek = 1/2mv².

Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)

Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J

(b)

For a sprinting runner,

Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)

Ek = 40(100)

Ek = 4000 J

(c)

For a moving electron,

Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²

Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

<h3>1)</h3>

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

                        = 0

<h3>2)</h3>

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

                            = 2(cos(24)(3.6))

                            = 6.5775 N

                            ≈ 6.6 N
