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 child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The  frequencies are (f, f_1) =  (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  length of the ear canal is  l = 1.3 \ cm  =\frac{1.3}{100}  =  0.013 \ m

   The  speed of sound is assumed to be  v_s  =  344 \ m/s

Now  taking look at a typical  ear canal  we see that we assume it is  a  closed pipe

   Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

            f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }

 substituting values  

          f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }

         f = 6615.4 \ Hz

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

        f_1 =  \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}

 substituting values  

       f_1 =  \frac{3 *  344}{4 * 0.013}

       f_1 =   19846.2 \ Hz

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child  will have an increased audible sensitivity at this  frequencies

what are 3 CHEMICAL REACTIONS that you personally observed over the last 2 weeks. You should only include chemical reactions tha
Allisa [31]

1).  I started up my car.  Gasoline was spritzed into the cylinders, mixed with air, and then exploded with an electrical spark.  As the gasoline vapor instantly burned in the air, several new things were formed that weren't there before, like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and oxides of nitrogen.

2).  I left my dinner on the stove a little too long, and it got a layer of crunchy crackly sooty carbon on the bottom. That part of it didn't taste too good.  This isn't exactly something that happens every day, but more often than I'd like it too.

3).  All day, every day, and all night, every night, about 10 or 20 times every minute, I pull air into my lungs.  I keep it there for a while, then I blow it out and pull in some fresh stuff.  The air I blow out has less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in it than it had when I pulled it in.  That's because of the hundreds of chemical reactions going on inside my body, to keep me alive and functioning.  I hope these keep going on for many many more days in the future.

Describe how to prepare a 10.0% w/v solution of salt in water in a 100 mL volumetric flask
Sphinxa [80]
To prepare a 10.0% w/v solution of salt in water in a 100 mL volumetric flask, first you must weigh 10 g of salt because the 10 % 100 is 10 and the given should be 10 % w/v. place the 10 g salt to the volumetric flask then add water up until to mark of the volumetric flask then shake it.

Two identical billiard balls are rolling toward each other at the same speed. What will be true after they collide head–on?
ioda
My guess is either they come to a stop when they come in contact, or one ball is going to go the opposite direction.
