In a thunderstorm, the air must be ionized by a high voltage before a conducting path for a lightning bolt can be created. an el

ectric field of about 1.0 × 106 v/m is required to ionize dry air. what would the break- down voltage in air be if a thundercloud were 1.60 km above ground? assume that the electric field between the cloud and the ground is uniform.

We know that the electric field is equal to 1 E 6 V/m

The distance between the thundercloud and the ground is 1.6km = 1600m

Electric field = Voltage/distance

This means that the breakdown voltage must be equal to

V = 1 E 6 V/m * 1600m = 1.6 E 9 V = 1.6 GV

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

A carmaker has designed a car that can reach a maximum acceleration of 12 meters/second2. The car’s mass is 1,515 kilograms. Ass
Vlada [557]
1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm
maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We  also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring,  the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m
