Answer:

look it up

Explanation:

An electrical shock is received when electrical current passes through the body. ... Whenever two wires are at different voltages, current will pass between them if they are connected. Your body can connect the wires if you touch both of them at the same time. Current will pass through your body.

A particle with charge − 2.74 × 10 − 6 C −2.74×10−6 C is released at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assum

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

241.7 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge of particle= $q=-2.74\times 10^{-6} C$

Kinetic energy of particle= $K_E=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

Initial time= $t_1=6.36 s$

Final potential difference= $V_2=0.351 V$

We have to find the time t after that the particle is released and traveled through a potential difference 0.351 V.

We know that

$qV=K.E$

Using the formula

$2.74\times 10^{-6}V_1=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

$V_1=\frac{6.65\times 10^{-10}}{2.74\times 10^{-6}}=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

Initial voltage= $V_1=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

$\frac{\initial\;voltage}{final\;voltage}=(\frac{initial\;time}{final\;time})^2$

Using the formula

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=(\frac{6.36}{t})^2$

$\frac{2.43\times 10^{-4}}{0.351}=\frac{(6.36)^2}{t^2}$

$t^2=\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}}$

$t=241.7 s$

Hence, after 241.7 s the particle is released has it traveled through a potential difference of 0.351 V.

A dog walks 12 meters to the east and then 16 meters back to the west for this motion what is the distance moved What is the mag

FinnZ [79.3K]

The distance is 28 meters, and the displacement is -4.

For the distance it would be 12 + 16 = 28.

For the displacement it would be 12 - 16 = -4.

would really appreciate a brainliest! Hope this helped!

Blake is setting up his tent at a renaissance fair. If the tent is 8 feet tall and the tether can be staked no more than 2 feet

Mariana [72]

The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet

Why are the temperatures on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than earth?

netineya [11]

Other terrestrial planets have more extreme temperatures mainly because of their atmospheres
Explanation:
for example the atmosphere of Venus is composed mainly of carbon dioxide, this carbon dioxide traps the heat or energy from the sun and makes the planet have higher temperatures. where on mars the atmosphere is very thin so it takes in lots of heat and doesn't keep it in very well so it gets very hot and very cold
