Lightning a. occurs when a positively charged cloud base induces a negative charge on the Earth's surface. b. travels most often from cloud to ground and cannot travel from cloud to cloud. c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder. d. involves a conductive path or leader of positive ions from cloud to ground.

Answers

Answer:

c. may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

Explanation:

Lightning is a discharge which is due to the reaction between oppositely charged charges in the clouds, or between clouds base and the Earth surface.

The motion of the cloud causes charging of clouds by friction, thus the reaction between opposite charges (jumping of charges from one cloud to another) in the cloud can lead to lightning. Also, oftentimes the bottom of a cloud is negatively charged so that this is attracted to the positive charge on the earth surface. Thus leading to a discharge called lightning.

Thus in the given question, the appropriate option is C. This implies that, lightning may be accompanied by the sound of explosively expanding hot air, called thunder.

According to Hooke's law
(a) stress x strain = constant
(b) stress / strain = constant
(c) strain / stress = constant
(d) stress = strain

Answers

Answer:

According to Hook's law, we know,

strain/stress =Constant

Explanation: So, the ratio between stress and strain is always constant.

So, if stress is increased, then strain changes in that way so that this ratio always remains constant.

A bucket filled woth water seems light while it sinks into water.Also show their relation using formula

Answers

Answer: This phenomenon happens due to upthrust exerted by water.

Explanation:

We know that,

Liquid Pressure is directly proportional to the height of the vertical column in the liquid.(P∝h)

When a bucket filled water is sunk into the water container, there occur difference in the pressure in top and bottom of the water container. Due to this, water exerts an upward force on the bucket filled with water. This is called Uprthrust.

Upthrust on the bucket makes the bucket filled with water lose some of it's weight and causes apparent loss in weight.

Hence, the bucket filled with water seems light while it sinks into water.

A car has a mass of 2000 kg. While it is traveling along a perfectly flat road, it goes around an unbanked turn that has a radius of 40.0 m. The coefficient of static friction between the car tires and the road is 0.500. The car travels successfully around the turn at a constant speed of 10.0 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the car's acceleration as it goes around the turn. _______ m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the car, m = 2,000 kg

The radius of the car, r = 40.0 m

The coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road, μ = 0.500

The constant speed with which the car moves, v = 10.0 m/s

The normal reaction of the road on the car, N = The weight of the car;

∴ N = m × g

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

N ≈ 2,000 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19,620 N

The frictional force, [tex]F_f[/tex] = μ × N

The centripetal force, [tex]F_c[/tex] = m·v²/r

The car moves without slipping when [tex]F_f[/tex] = [tex]F_c[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]F_f[/tex] = 0.500 × 19,620 N = 2,000 kg × [tex]v_{max}[/tex]²/40.0 m

∴ [tex]v_{max}[/tex] = √(0.500 × 19,620 N × 40.0 m/2,000 kg) ≈ 14.007 m/s

Therefore, the velocity with which the car moves, v < [tex]v_{max}[/tex]

The cars centripetal acceleration, [tex]a_c[/tex] = v²/r

∴ [tex]a_c[/tex] = (10.0 m/s)²/40.0 m = 2.5 m/s²

The cars centripetal acceleration as it goes round the turn, [tex]a_c[/tex] = 2.5 m/s².

it actually depends on what state you are in.

California for example requires all to stop unconditionally, I think. while in many other states it is the rule, if the 4-lane road is separating both driving direction by a barrier or raised intermediate area, you don't have to stop when going in the opposite direction.

so, it is either A or D depending on your state.

A water heater marked 4 kW takes 4 minutes to heat 1 kg of water from 20 °C to 50 °C. The cost of electrical energy per kWh
is $0.120. What will be the total cost of energy consumption?

Answers

The total cost of the energy consumption for the given time period is $0.0364

The given parameters include;

power rating of the heater, P = 4 kW = 4000 Wtime taken to completely boil the water,[tex]t = 4 \min = 4 \min \times \frac{1 \ h}{60 \ \min} = 0.067 \ h[/tex]mass of the water, m = 1 kginitial temperature of the water, t₁ = 20 ⁰Cfinal temperature of the water, t₂ = 50 ⁰Cspecific heat capacity of water, c = 4200 J/kg⁰Ccost of electrical energy = $0.12

The total energy consumed in the process of heating the water;

Total electrical Energy  = Energy of the heater (kWh) + Energy of the heated water (kWh)

Energy of the heater (kWh) = power x time

                                = 4 kW x 0.067 h

                                 = 0.268 kWh

Energy of the heated water (J) = mcΔt

where;

Δt is the change in temperature = t₂ - t₁

                                                      = 50 ⁰C  -  20 ⁰C = 30⁰C

Energy of the heated water (J) = 1 x 4200 x 30

                                               = 126,000 J

Electrical power of the heated water (Watts) = [tex]\frac{126,000 \ J}{4 \ \min} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} = 525 \ W[/tex]

Energy of the heated water (kWh) = [tex]\frac{525}{1000} \times 4\min\times \frac{1 \ hr}{60 \min} = 0.035 \ kWh[/tex]

Total electrical Energy  = 0.268 kWh  +  0.035 kWh

                                       = 0.303 kWh

The total cost of the energy consumed is calculated as;

[tex]Total \ cost = \frac{\$ \ 0.12}{kWh} \times 0.303 \ kWh = \$ \ 0.0364[/tex]

Therefore, the total cost of the energy consumption is $0.0364

An inclined plane of angle Ɵ, acting as a simple machine has a velocity ratio :
(a) sinƟ
(b) 1/sinƟ
(c) cosƟ
(d) 1/cosƟ
(e) sinƟcosƟ

Answers

Answer:

(b) 1/sinƟ

Explanation:

A simple machine can be defined as a type of machine with no moving parts but can be used to perform work.

Basically, a simple machine allows for the transformation of energy into work. The six simple machines are; lever, wedge, pulley, screw, wheel and axle, and inclined plane.

Inclined plane is a simple machine set at an angle and then used to lift an object.

In Physics, the velocity ratio of a simple machine is calculated as a ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the vertical distance through which a load is raised.

Mathematically, the velocity ratio of an inclined plane of angle Ɵ, acting as a simple machine is given by the formula;

Velocity ratio (V.R) = 1/sinƟ

Basically, an increase in the angle of inclination (measured in degrees) of an inclined plane increases its velocity ratio.

While that at the steam point is 6.48 x 10^4 Pa.

Answers

Answer:

0 deg C = 4.81E4     pressure at 0 deg

100 deg C = 6.48E4     pressure at steam point

100 deg C - 50 deg C = (6.48 - 4.81) * 10^4 = 1.67E4 Pa

50 deg C = 50 / 100 * 1.67E4 + 4.81E4 = 5.65E4 Pa Just the halfway point between the two given pressures
