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

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C

Atoms can be "cooled" to incredibly low temperatures by letting them interact with a laser beam. Various novel quantum phenomena
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

the rms speed of cesium atoms that have been cooled to a temperature of 100nK = 0.43cm/s or 0.0043m/s

Explanation:

The concept of root mean square velocity is applied, where the average translational kinetic is related to the actual kinetic energy, the expression for the root mean square is the generated.

The detailed steps and appropriate substitution is as shown in the attachment.

A Body OF Volume 36cc Floats With 3/4 of its volume submerged in water . The density Of Body is
Radda [10]

Answer:

Density of body = 0.25g/cc

Explanation:

Given:

Volume submerged in water = 3/4

Find:

Density Of Body

Computation:

Density of body = fraction of body in liquid x density of water

Density of body = [1-3/4]1

Density of body = 0.25g/cc

Where are some places that cyber bullying occurs? Check all that apply
horsena [70]

Answer:

B, E, F

Explanation:

Because cyberbullying happens online, text messages, social media networks, and chat rooms can all have cyberbullying, because they are all ways to chat online. D does not apply, because on most websites there are not ways to chat.
