It is called static electricity...

electrical nature of matter

the stick become deficient in electrons and said to be positively charge. The wool having gained the electrons lost by the rod, has an excess of electrons and becomes negatively charge.

26. A 40 kg boy jumps from a height of 4m onto a plate-form mounted on springs. As the

denpristay [2]

Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

$U=mg \Delta h$

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

$\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m$ is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

$\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J$

Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th

Ket [755]

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

How is heat converted into work in a steam engine?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

In an extremely simplified explanation,
What happens is that the steam (heat) that is generated by the burning of coal is used to rotate the motor of the steam engine.

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?

Lisa [10]

44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.

44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.
