Why can you get a shock if you touch a metal doorknob after walking across a wool carpet is because you have gained neutrons; the doorknob has fewer electrons. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are electrons?</h3>

Electrons can be defined as a stable subatomic particles with a negative electrical charge that is found in all atoms and serves as the major carrier of electricity in solids.

In conclusion, You have an unbalanced charge, while the doorknob is neutral. you have gained neutrons; the doorknob has fewer electrons.

How do iquantum tunel through a wall and how long will it take me?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.

What can we say about Gamma waves on<br> the electromagnetic spectrum?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.

A round object of mass 10 kg and radius 0.5 m rolls without slipping down a hill from a height of 4.5 m. If its speed at the bot
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

moment of inertia is 2.72 kg m²

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 10kg

height h = 4.5 m

radius r  = 0.5 m

speed  v = 6.5 m/s

to find out

moment of inertia

solution

we apply here conservation of energy

that is

mgh = 1/2 ×mv² + 1/2 × Iω²

here I is moment of inertia we find and

we know ω = Velocity / radius = 6.5 / 0.5 = 13

and g = 9.8

so put here all these value

10 (9.8) 4.5 = 1/2 ×(10)(6.5)² + 1/2 × I(13)²

441 = 211.25 + 1/2 × I( 169 )

I = 2.72

so moment of inertia is 2.72 kg m²

The vertical force f acts downward at A on the two membered frames. Determine the magnitude of the two components of F directed
galben [10]

Answer:

The magnitude will be "353.5 N". A further solution is given below.

Explanation:

The given values is:

F = 500 N

According to the question,

In ΔABC,

⇒ \angle BCA = (90-30)

⇒             =60^{\circ}

then,

⇒ \angle BAC=(180-45-60)

⇒             =75^{\circ}

Now,

The corresponding angle will be:

⇒ \angle FAC=60^{\circ}

⇒ \angle FAB=70+60

⇒             =135^{\circ}

Aspect of F across the AC arm will be:

= F\times cos(60)

On putting the values of F, we get

= 500\times (.5)

= 200 \ Newton

Component F along the AC (in magnitude) will be:

= F\times cos(135)

= 500\times (-.707)

= -353.5 \ N \

RP 1 - Specific Heat Capacity GCSE Exam Questions (B.S.G)
Stels [109]

When the temperature of 0.50 kg of water decreases by 22 °C, the energy transferred to the surroundings from the water is -46.2 kJ.

A sample of 0.50 kg of water boils (reaches 100 °C). After a while, its temperature decreases by 22 °C.

We can calculate the energy transferred to the surroundings from the water in the form of heat (Q) using the following expression.

Q = c \times m \times \Delta T = \frac{4200J}{kg.\° C}  \times 0.50kg \times (-22\° C) \times \frac{1kJ}{1000J} = -46.2 kJ

where,

  • c: specific heat capacity of water
  • m: mass of water
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

When the temperature of 0.50 kg of water decreases by 22 °C, the energy transferred to the surroundings from the water is -46.2 kJ.
