What is static electricity
navik [9.2K]

Static electricity is electricity produced locally that does not flow. It is produced by electrons being rubbed off one object and collecting on another. It cannot flow through a wire like the electricity in your home.  

Example:  

1) Rub a balloon on your hair and it will stick to the wall. The balloon rubs electrons off your hair and picks up a negative charge. Your hair, in turn, is left with a positive charge. You may even notice your hair has "static" and is standing out from your head.  

2) Comb your hair with a plastic comb then use it to pick up small pieces of paper. The comb picks up electrons from your hair and becomes negatively charged. It uses this charge to attract the pieces of paper.  

3) Rub your slippered feet on the carpet and then touch something metal like a door knob. The "shock" you feel is static electricity. You pick up electrons from the carpet and discharge them on to the door knob.

Answer:

The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

hmax = 5740.48 m

Explanation:

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m
