If you're ever standing on a mountaintop when a dark cloud passes overhead and your hair stands up, get off the mountain fast. H

Answer:

The hairs would have acquired charge by the passing of dry winds resulting in the loss of electron.

Explanation:

While standing on the top of a mountain if a person gets its hairs stand up after a cloud passes over, this might happen due to the static electric charges on the lower surface of the cloud  are opposite in nature to that of hairs which the hairs would have acquired by the passing of dry winds which would have resulted in the loss of electron from the hair tip.

Similar case happens when we rub a dry plastic ruler or a dry plastic comb on our hairs.

Explain how atoms of elements form molecules, compounds and mixtures.
katrin2010 [14]

An element is composed of millions of atoms and a compound is composed of molecules. When an atom reacts with another atom, a molecule is formed.

For example, if sodium reacts with chloride, it forms sodium chloride (Common salt). Here, sodium and chloride are elements and sodium chloride is a molecule. In this way, millions of atoms of sodium reacts with chloride and forms common salt.

Again, when the common salt is mixed with other compounds such as water, it forms a mixture.

A barge of mass 5.00 ×104 kg is pulled along the Erie Canal by two mules, walking along towpaths parallel to the canal on either
boyakko [2]

Answer:  219,344.5 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following parameters

mass of barge (m) = 5 x 10^4 kg

angle of ropes (θ) = 45 degrees

force by each mule (F1) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

force by each mule (F2) = 1.10 kN = 1100 N

distance (s) = 141 m

work done by the mules = force x cos θ x distance

since we are calculating the force of both mules we have to both mules before we can use in the equation

force = 1100 + 1100 = 2200 N

work done =  2200 x cos (45) x 141

work done = 219,344.5 j

A 15kg object strikes the ground with 2000J of kinetic energy after freely falling from rest. How far above the ground was the o
arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

Find the final velocity at which it struck the ground by using the kinetic energy formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

2000=\frac{1}{2} (15)v^2\\v=16.33

Now use kinematics to solve for the vertical displacement. We were given the initial velocity and acceleration can be assumed to be 9.8

V^2=V^2_i+2a(y_f-y_i)\\16.33^2=0^2+2(9.8)(y_f-y_i)

Δy = 13.6 meters

What is an ion found in a glass of water
stepladder [879]

Answer:

H^{+} ion and OH^{-} ions.

Explanation:

As we notice the glass of water, in this observation we find that the glass also made up of sodium silicate which will give us oxygen ion.

And the water which is present in the glass will break into the hydroxyl ion and H^{+} ion .

Therefore, glass of water contains H^{+} ion and OH^{-} ions.
