Q: What potential difference or current would kill a person?

GlowingbluejuiceboxI was watching this YouTube lecture, and earlier in the vid he mentions 120 volts from a power outlet would kill you. So if human resistance is $300\ \Omega$, $0.4$ A should be enough to do the job. Then he proceeds to touch a higher voltage of $200,000$ V and says its because the current flowing...

Q: What's the mathematical proof of "Net velocity"?

MehmerWe often calculate the velocity of a boat moving upstream as the (velocity of boat in still water$-$velocity of stream), and add them for downstream. My teacher told me that it's "net velocity" of a body, but can someone prove mathematically that net velocity is the sum of all the velocities acti...
