3. In what circumstance will a flash of lightning travel through the sky and touch the ground?

Physics

Answer: The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts.

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt
Yuri [45]
The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, A=1.25 m^2
\epsilon is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, \epsilon=1)
\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is T=100^{\circ} C=373 K

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW
So, the correct answer is D.

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}

R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han
boyakko [2]

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
