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.

5. Suppose that you wish to construct a simple ac generator having an output of 24 V maximum when rotated at 120 Hz. A uniform m
vazorg [7]

Answer:

32 turns

Explanation:

From the expression for the induced emf,

E = (N)(B)(A) w

E = emf = 24 V

N = number of turns = ?

B = magnetic field strength = 0.10 T

A = Cross sectional Area of the loop = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

w = Angular speed = (2πf) = (2π × 120) = 754.3 rad/s

24 = N (0.1)(0.01)(754.3)

N = (24/0.7543)

N = 31.8 ≈ 32 turns.

Hope this Helps!!!

A scuba diver's tank contains 0.240 kg of o2 compressed into a volume of 3.10 l. what volume (in liters) would this oxygen occup
ohaa [14]
Given:
m = 0.240 kg = 240 g, the mass of O₂
V = 3.10 L = 3.10 x 10⁻³ m³, the volume

Because the molar mass of oxygen is 16, the number of moles of O₂ is
n = (240 g)/(2*16 g/mol) =  7.5 mol

As an ideal gas,
p*V = nRT
or
V = (nRT)/p
where R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

When
p = 0.910 atm = (0.910 atm) * (101325Pa/atm) = 92205.75 Pa
T = 27 °C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K
then the volume is
V= \frac{(7.5 \, mol)*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(300 \, K)}{(92205.75 \, Pa)} =0.2029 \, m^{3}

V = (0.2029 m³)*(10³ L/m³) = 202.9 L

Answer: 203 liters

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

Which of the following represents energy in its most disordered form? Group of answer choices Chemical-bond energy Electromagnet
gavmur [86]

Answer: Heat Energy

Explanation:

Heat is energy in its most disordered form. heat energy is the random jostling of molecules and is therefore not organized. As cells perform the chemical reactions that generate order within, some energy is inevitably lost in the form of heat. Because the cell is not an isolated system, the heat energy produced by the cell is quickly dispersed into the cell's surroundings where it increases the intensity of the thermal motions of nearby molecules. This increases the entropy of the cell's environment and keeps the cell from violating the second law of thermodynamics.
