Static electricity occurs when electrons build up and _________

1 answer:

5 0

Static electricity is a buildup of electric charges on objects. Charges build up when negative electrons are transferred from one object to another. The object that gives up electrons becomes positively charged, and the object that accepts the electrons becomes negatively charged. This can happen in several ways

How much energy was released if rocket hydrogen fuel was burnt ?

suter [353]

When ignited, the gas mixture converts to water vapor and releases energy, which sustains the reaction: 241.8 kJ of energy (LHV) for every mole of H2 burned.” A mole of hydrogen weighs 2 grams. So, this is a LHV (lower heating value) of 120.9 kJ/gram of hydrogen when heat of vaporization is subtracted.

Why is ice harder than liquid water?

yaroslaw [1]

Hello~

Ice is harder than liquid water because the molecules of ice are linked more tightly together than the molecules of liquid water.

Hope this helps!

A proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force

Tom [10]

Answer:

$VB - VA = - 33.4$

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

$W = KE_f - KE_i$

Where $KE_i \ and \ KE_f \ are\ the\ initial \ and \ final \ kinetic \ energy$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value 50 m/s

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2$

$KE_i = 2.09 *10^{-24} \ J$

Also

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2$

Here $v_a$ is the velocity at A with value $80 km/s = 80000 m/s$

=> $KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2$

=> $KE_f = 5.34 *10^{-18} \ J$

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} - 2.09 *10^{-24}$

$W = 5.34 *10^{-18} m/s$

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

$W = q * V$

$q * V = 5.34 *10^{-18}$

Here $q = 1.60*10^{-19} C$

$V = \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}$

$V = 33.4 \ V$

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that $VA>VB$

$VB - VA = - 33.4$

a pumpkin with a mass of 2.5 kg was pushed toward a wall the average acceleration of the pumpkin was 10.7 miles per second squar

Sati [7]

Alright, to begin with. The unit of Force is in Newtons. Meaning the first two options are out of the answers. Now in order to find the force. You will need to take the mass and multiply that by the acceleration. Which will give you 26.75 Newtons.

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?

irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a warm temperature and wet climates.

The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 $^oC$ and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots.

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 $^oC$ and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.
