If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each

other. If you then stick the sticky side of one to the shiny side of the other and rip them apart, they will attract each other. Give a plausible explanation, involving transfer of electrons between the strips of tape, for this sequence of events.

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

According to Coulomb’s Law, the force between two charged objects is related to _____.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

A.) the inverse of the square of the distance separating them

Explanation:

Coulombs law states that "the force of attraction between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."

Mathematically, F = kq1q2/r²

Where q1 and q2 are the charges

r is the distance between the charges.

According to the law, the force between two charged objects is related to the inverse of the square of the distance separating them.

A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to a speed of 25m/s after traveling 75m. What is its acceleration in m/s^2
Roman55 [17]
<h2><em>So there is two truths given. After an amount of time Ttotal (lets call it ‘t’): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>The car’s speed is 25m/s </em></h2><h2><em>The distance travelled is 75m </em></h2><h2><em>Then we have the formulas for speed and distance: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>v = a x t -> 25 = a x t </em></h2><h2><em>s = 0.5 x a x t^2 -> 75 = 0.5 x a x t^2 </em></h2><h2><em>Now, we know that both acceleration and time equal for both truths. So we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t = 25 / a </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 75 / (0.5 x a) = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since we don’t want to use square root at 2) we go squared for 1): </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = (25 / a) ^2 = 625 / a^2 </em></h2><h2><em>t^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em>Since t has the same value for both truths we can say: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 / a^2 = 150 / a </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>Thus multiply both sides with a^2: </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>625 = 150 x a, so a = 625 / 150 = 4.17 </em></h2><h2><em> </em></h2><h2><em>We can now calculate t as well t = 25 * 150 / 625 = 6</em></h2>

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res
Luden [163]
The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW
