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.

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

\lambda_w = 492 nm

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

\mu_w = 4/3

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}

\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}

\lambda_w = 492 nm

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

\mu_w = 3/2

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}

\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}

v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}

v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}

v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W

Una caja de 5.0kg de masa se acelera desde el reposo a través del piso mediante una fuerza a una tasa de 2.0 /s2 durante 7.0s en
Nady [450]

Responder:

<h2>490 julios </h2>

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando una fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva a través de una distancia. El trabajo realizado por un cuerpo se expresa mediante la fórmula;

Workdone = Fuerza * Distancia

Como Fuerza = masa * aceleración,

Workdone = masa * aceleración * distancia

Masa dada = 5.0kg, aceleración = 2.0m / s² d =?

Para obtener d, usaremos una de las leyes del movimiento,

d = ut + 1 / 2at²

u = 0 (ya que el cuerpo acelera desde el reposo) yt = 7.0s

d = 0 + 1/2 (2) (7) ²

d = 49m

Workdone = 5 * 2 * 49

Workdone = 490 Julios
