Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, E=3\times 10^6\ V/m

Let the electrical potential is, V=10^8\ V

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A signal generator has an output voltage of 2.0 V with no load. When a 600 Ω load is connected to it, the output drops to 1.0 V.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

600 Ω

Explanation:

when there is no load attached to the generator the circuit is open and zero current flows through the circuit, hence voltage drop across the internal resister is zero.

when 600Ω load is connected current starts flowing through the circuit and  some voltage will drop across the internal resister.

voltage across the load resister is 1 V, so the current through it will be:

I=V/R

I=1/600 A= 1.67mA

voltage drop in the internal resister is:

V= input voltage - output voltage

V=2 V-1 V

⇒V=1 V

Now by using ohm's law

R=V/ I

R=\frac{1}{1.67*10^{-3} }    (I= 1.67mA, as the resistors are connected in series)

⇒R=600 Ω

Hence Thevinin resistance of the generator is 600Ω.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .

An archer fires an arrow, which produces a muffled "thwok" as it hits a target. If the archer hears the "thwok" exactly 1 s afte
aniked [119]

Answer:

35,79 meters

Explanation:

So, we got an archer, and we got a target. Lets call the distance between this two d.

Now, the archer fires the arrow, that, in a time t_{arrow} travels the distance d with a speed v_{arrow} of 40 m/s and hits the target. We can see that the equation will be:

v_{arrow} * t_{arrow} = d\\ \\40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

Immediately after this, the arrow produces a muffled sound, which will travel the distance d at  340 m/s in a time t_{sound}. Obtaining :

v_{sound} * t_{sound} = d\\ \\340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d.

Finally, the sound reaches the archer, exactly 1 second after he fired the bow, so:

t_{arrow} + t _{sound} = 1 s.

This equation allows us to write:

t _{sound} = 1 s - t_{arrow}.

Plugging this  relationship in the distance equation for the sound:

340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{sound} = d \\ \\ 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}) = d.

Now, we can replace d from the first equation, and obtain:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * (1 s- t_{arrow}).

Now, we can just work a little bit:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 \frac{m}{s} * 1 s - 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} \\ \\ 40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} + 340 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ 380 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = 340 m \\ \\ t_{arrow} = \frac{340 m}{380 \frac{m}{s}} \\ \\ t_{arrow} = 0.8947 s.

Now, we can just plug this value into the first equation:

40 \frac{m}{s} * t_{arrow} = d

40 \frac{m}{s} * 340/380 s = 35,79 s = d
