(d) A lightning conductor is fixed at the top of tall buildings

Answer»

Lightning conductors are fixed at the top of the buildings to protect the buildings from lightningLightningLightning is caused due to the heavy electric discharge from the clouds to the earth. If lightning is not controlled, it can cause heavy damage to life and property. Hence, protective measures are of utmost importance during lightning strikes.Lightning RodsTall buildings are provided with lightning rods. A lightning rod is a metal rod that is erected at the top of a building. It is connected to a thick metallic plate, made of a good conducting material like copper and buried under the earth, through a thick copper wire. If lightning is likely to strike the building, it is attracted by the lightning rod, and the electrical discharge is transferred through the wire to the ground. Thus, it keepsthe building safe

it consists of a long metal rod fixed with a side wall of th building .when lightning conductor quickly absorb the charges ,the long metal gives them an easy path to flow down to earth and the coppe plate helps in a quick distribution of charge

give reason. we should stay away from bridges and tall buildings during an earthquake.

Answer»

Tall structures are generally the strongest and have lots of steel and strong foundations. Its the old, flimsily-built buildings, particularly in narrow streets, that are much more dangerous.therefore we should stay away from tall Bridges and building.

Two tall buildings are 200 m apart. With what speed must a ball be thrown horizontally from a window 540 m above the groundinone building so as to enter a 50 m high window in the other building?

Answer»

This question is based on concept of horizontal projectile .use trajectory equation of Horizontal projectile.

e.g Y = gx²/2u²

where Y is the displacement of object in y-component wrt to frame , x is the displacement of object in x -component wrt frame . g is acceleration due to gravity and u is intial velocity.

here ,Y = 200 m x = 540 -50 = 490 m

now,

200 = 10 (490)²/2u²

40 = (490)²/u²

u² = (490)²/40

u = 490/2√10=77.47 m/s

6.

4. Two tall buildings are situated 200 m apart. Withwhat speed must a ball be thrown horizontallyfrom the window 540 m above the ground in onebuilding, so that it will enter a window 50 m abovethe ground in the other(Ans. 20 ms-)

Answer»

Vertical distance between the two buildings = 540 – 50 = 490m

Horizontal distance = 200 m

Suppose ball speed is u and time taken to reach the point is t so

Ball has no initial velocity and takes time t for 490 meter so

S = ut + ½ at^2

490 = 0 + ½ (9.8)(t^2)

T = 10 sec

Horizontal component remain same so we use x = ut

200 = u ( 10 )

U = 10

Ball will be thrown at a speed of 10 m / s

bj A force 20N acts upon a body whose weight 9.8N what is the mass of the body and honIts acceleration?(take g- 9.3m/s)

Answer»
8.

Thus, the weight of the body 15 491Sample Problem 2. What is the mass of an object whose weight is 49 newtons ?

Answer»

5 kg is the right answer.

5Kg. .

Weight (W) = 49 N

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Mass (m) = ?

We know,

W = m * g

or, m = W / g

or, m = 49 / 9.8

Therefore, mass (m) = 5 kg

5kg right answer this question

We know that, weight= Mass × acceleration due to gravity.let weight = w let mass = m let acceleration due to gravity = g

w= m×g so m = w÷g w= 49g= 9.8 m/s^2

m= 49÷9.8 m= 5kg hence, mass is 5 kg

9. Define the term "coefficient of limiting friction" between two surfaces. A body of mass10Kg is placed on an inclined surface of angle 30° If the coefficient of limiting friction is1/V3. Find the force required to just push the body up the inclined surface. The force isbeing applied parallel to inclined surface

Answer»

the force required is 100 N

pls explain

the force required wil be the sum of the force due to weight of block down the incline and the frictional force due to static friction on the surface. hence the force along the incline due to wieght of block is 100 cos (60) = 50 N. also the friction force = 10 sin(60)*1/root(3) = 50 N

Velocity of B is = 10 ,

so, velocity of string connecting to A , u is given by

10 = (u+0)/2

=>u = 20 m/s

now this Velocity will always be constant along the stringso, velocity of A along the string is u'cos(37) = 20=>>u = 20/(cos37) = 20*5/4 = 25m/s

Answer»

A hydraulic press is a device which is used for lifting a heavy or large load by the application of a comparatively much smaller force than is required to lift the load mechanically or manually. Hydraulic press used in industries are generally converted or built to crush or to press any “process" or the “product". For example, this may include steel plates, aluminum rolls, metallic ores, etc.

The system is a very simple example which demonstrates the operation of a basic hydraulic system. It has two simple cylinders connected to each other, containing an adequate quantity of hydraulic fluid in it. One of the cylinders is larger in size when compared to the other. Both the cylinders have pistons in them, but in strict “hydraulic" terminology, the larger piston is called as a “ram" and small one a “plunger". A small force “P" applied on the plunger, in the downward direction, presses the hydraulic fluid below it. This pressure is transmitted equally in all directions and raises the “ram". The heavier load placed on the “ram" is thus lifted up.

define least count

Answer»

Least Count of a measuring instrument is the smallest change in the measured quantity that can be resolved on the instrument's scale.[1] The least count is related to the precision of an instrument; an instrument that can measure smaller changes in a value relative to another instrument, has a smaller "least count" value and so is more precise. Any measurement made by the instrument can be considered repeatable to no less than the resolution of the least count. The least count of an instrument is inversely proportional to the precision of the instrument.
