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

Joel uses a claw hammer to remove a nail from a wall. He applies a force of 40 newtons on the hammer. The hammer applies a force
jarptica [38.1K]

Hi!


Mechanical advantage is defined as the<em> ratio of force produced by an object to the force that is applied to it.</em>

In our case, this would be the ratio of the force applied by the claw hammer on the nail to the force Joel applies to the claw hammer, which is

160:40 or 4:1

So the mechanical advantage of the hammer is four.


Hope this helps!

a partially inflated weather balloon has a volume of 1.56 * 10^3 L and a pressure of 98.9 lPa. What is the volume of the balloon
e-lub [12.9K]
To solve the problem, we enumerate all the given first. Then the required and lastly the solution.

Given:

V1= 1.56x10^3 L = 1560 L                P2 = 44.1 kPa
P1 = 98.9 kPa

Required:  V2

Solution:

Assuming the gas is ideal. Ideal gas follows Boyle's Law which states that at a given temperature the product of pressure and volume of a gas is constant. In equation,

PV = k

Applying to the problem, we have
 
P1*V1 = P2*V2
(98.9 kPa)*(1560 L) = (44.1 kPa)*V2
V2 = 3498.5 L

<em>ANSWER: V2 = 3498.5 L</em>

A cart is pushed to the right with a force of 15 N while being pulled to the left with a force of 20 N. The net force on the car
9966 [12]

The net force of the cart when it is pushed to the right with a force of 15N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To find the force of net, which is calculated by the  formula.

The Net Force= Addition of the force applied on the respective  direction.

The Net Force here is given by

The Net Force = 15-20 (A force towards the right and a force towards left, two opposite so subtraction).

Hence

Thus the Net Force = -5(The force towards left, so it gets a  negative value).
