<span>I believe this happens because when you rub the balloon on the carpet or fabric, the connection or contact of that jumbles up the atoms and they receive the energy which makes your hair as the question said 'stand on end' </span>

How much power is used by car when it applies 40,000 J of work over a 5.6 second interval
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

7142.86W

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done by brake  = 40000J

Time taken = 5.6s

Unknown:

Power used by car  = ?

Solution:

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is done. It is mathematically expressed as;

        Power = \frac{work done }{time taken}

Now input the variables;

           Power  = \frac{40000}{5.6}   = 7142.86W

List two examples of the following states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Please answer in NO LESS THAN 3 complete senten
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles.

Key Takeaways: Examples of Solids, Liquids, and Gases

A solid has a defined shape and volume. A common example is ice. A liquid has a defined volume, but can change state. An example is liquid water.There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related
Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

In this problem you will consider the balance of thermal energy radiated and absorbed by a person.Assume that the person is wear
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The thermal power emitted by the body is P_t  = 286.8 \ Wm^{-2}

The net power radiated is  P_{net} = 460 \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The length of the assumed humT_{room} = 20 ^oCan body is  L =  2.0 m

   The circumference of the assumed human body is  C  =  0.8 \ m

   The  Stefan-Boltzmann constant is  \sigma  =  5.67 * 10^{-8 } \ W\cdot  m^{-2} \cdot  K^{-4}.

    The temperature of skin T_{body} = 30^oC

     The temperature of the room is  

    The emissivity is  e=0.6

The thermal power radiated by the body is mathematically represented as

           P_t  =  e *  \sigma * T_{body}^4

substituting value

        P_t  =  0.6 * 5.67*10^{-8} *  (303)^4

        P_t  = 286.8 \ Wm^{-2}

The net power radiated by the body is mathematically evaluated as

    P_{net}  =  P_t *  A

Where A is the surface area of the body which is mathematically evaluated as

     A =  C* L

substituting values

      A =  0.8 * 2

      A =  1.6 m^2

=>    P_{net} =  286.8 * 1.6

=>   P_{net} =  460 \ W
