Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

Friction is rubbing two objects together. When this happens electrons from one object goes to the other. When one object loses electrons, it will have more protons, so it will be positively charged. When one object gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

This is what happens when you rub a rubber balloon on your hair, or even on the wall. Because one will be negatively charged and the other positive, the objects then attract each other and they stick together, like what happens when you rub the balloon on your hair, you hair will stick to the balloon, or vice-versa.

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ- $\mu_k$ cosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

$v^2_f=v^2_i-2as$

$v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)$

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.

Why is an object's density expressed as a relationship between two units?

vfiekz [6]

Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units. You know, like miles per hour .

I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.

The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second". But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.

So I guess you're right. Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it. Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter". We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".

Let's try it out:

"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected. In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas. I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."

I like it !

A 1.0-cm-tall object is 13 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 40 cm focal length.

kicyunya [14]

A) Image position: -19.3 cm

B) Image height: 1.5 cm, upright

Explanation:

In order to calculate the image position, we can use the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}$

where

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

In this problem, we have:

p = 13 cm (object distance)

f = 40 cm (focal length, positive for a converging lens)

So the image distance is

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{13}=-0.0519\\q=\frac{1}{-0.0519}=-19.3 cm$

The negative sign means that the image is virtual.

In order to calculate the image height, we use the magnification equation:

$\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

y' is the image height

y is the object height

In this problem, we have:

y = 1.0 cm (object height)

p = 13 cm

q = -19.3 cm

Therefore, the image heigth is

$y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(-19.3)(1.0)}{13}=1.5 cm$

And the positive sign means the image is upright.

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=

vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 , acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

a = - sin (t²/2) - (t-1) cos (t²/2) 2t / 2

a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1) cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing
