#2: a) Every year lightning kills numerous cows during a thunderstorm. But interestingly enough, the cows don’t have to be struck directly by the lightning to be killed. Explain how lightning striking the ground nearby might electrocute a cow.
b) If you were caught in the middle of a thunderstorm with severe lightning activity, would you be safest in your car, standing under a tree, or lying flat on the ground? Explain.

1. The Atmos clock(the so-called perpetual motion clock) gets its name from the fact that it runs off pressure vacations in the atmosphere, which drive a belows containing a mixture of gas and liquid ethyl chloride. Because the power to drive these clocks is so limited, they must be very efficient. In fact, a single 60.0 W lightbulb could power 240 million Atmos clocks simultaneously. Find the amount of energy, in joules, required to run an Atmos clock for one day. Explain and draws.

- A clock battery wears out after moving 10,000 C of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.500 mA. (a) How long did the clock run? (b) How many electrons per second flowed?arrow_forwardA close analogy exists between the flow of energy by heat because of a temperature difference (see Section 19.6) and the flow of electric charge because of a potential difference. In a metal, energy dQ and electrical charge dq are both transported by free electrons. Consequently, a good electrical conductor is usually a good thermal conductor as well. Consider a thin conducting slab of thickness dx, area A, and electrical conductivity , with a potential difference dV between opposite faces. (a) Show that the current I = dq/dt is given by the equation on the left: ChargeconductionThermalconductiondqdt=A|dVdx|dQdt=kA|dTdx| In the analogous thermal conduction equation on the right (Eq. 19.17), the rate dQ/dt of energy flow by heat (in SI units of joules per second) is due to a temperature gradient dT/dx in a material of thermal conductivity k. (b) State analogous rules relating the direction of the electric current to the change in potential and relating the direction of energy flow to the change in temperature.arrow_forwardA 6-mm-diameter electrical transmission line is exposed to windy air.

N=arrow_forwardVoltage across the resting membrane potential…A) Can be described by the Nernst equation.B) Is established by a difference in charges across the cell membrane, with the outside more negative than the inside.C) Defines the driving force for flow of a particular ion across the cell membrane, given its equilibrium potentialD) Is equally dependent on the flow of potassium and sodium ions through leak channels across the cell membrane.E) Stays the same during an action potential.arrow_forward
- Physics ch27 #7 a-carrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts (a) Referring to Figure 20.34, find the time systolic pressure lags behind the middle of the QRS complex, (b) Discuss the reasons for the lime lag. Figure 20.34 A lead II ECG with corresponding arterial blood pressure. The QRS complex is created by the depolarization and contraction of the ventricles and is followed shortly by the maximum or systolic blood pressure. See text for further description.arrow_forwardThe current I is measured through a sample of an ohmic material as a voltage V is applied, (a) What is the current when the voltage is doubled to 2V (assume the change in temperature of the material is negligible)? (b) What is the voltage applied is the current measured is 0.27 (assume the change in temperature of the material is negligible)? What will happen to the current if the material if the voltage remains constant, but the temperature of the material increases significantly?arrow_forward
- A Van de Graaff generator (see Fig. 25.23) is operating so that the potential difference between the high-potential electrode and the charging needles at is 15.0 kV. Calculate the power required to drive the belt against electrical forces at an instant when the effective current delivered to the high-potential electrode is 500 A. Figure 25.23 Schematic diagram of a Van de Graaff generator. Charge is transferred to the metal dome at the top by means of a moving belt.arrow_forwardWhat would be the maximum cost of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60-W bulbs? Assume the cost of the incandescent bulb is 25 cents and that electricity costs 10 cents/kWh, Calculate the cost for 1000 hours, as in the cost effectiveness of CFL example.arrow_forwardNote that in Figure 20.28, both the concentration gradient and the Coulomb force tend to move Na+ ions into the cell. What prevents this? Figure 20.28 The semipermeable membrane of a cell has different concentrations of ions inside and out. Diffusion moves the K+ and Cl ions in the direction shown, until the Coulomb force halts further transfer. This results in a layer of positive charge on the outside, a layer of negative charge on the inside, and thus a voltage across the cell membrane. The membrane is normally impermeable to Na+.arrow_forward
