What kind of charging occurs when you slide your body across a plastic surface?

1 answer:

6 0

Charging by friction occurs, Electrons are transferred when one object rubs against another.

Another example of this would be socks on carpet.

Hope this helps!

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti

Igoryamba

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

$F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)$

The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

$F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N (2)$

According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2 (3)$

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total

Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = Mass * Velocity$

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

Total momentum = 50 kgm/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s.

A descent vehicle landing on the moon has a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 36.5 m/s. At the same time, it h

sammy [17]

Answer:

66.26 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity, Vx = 55.3 m/s

Vertical velocity, Vy = 36.5 m/s

The value of the resultant velocity is given by the vector sum of the two velocities which are acting at 90°.

$V=\sqrt{V_{x}^{2}+V_{y^{2}}}$

$V=\sqrt{55.3^{2}+36.5^{2}}}$

V = 66.26 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the vehicle is 66.26 m/s along its descent path.

Nearly all liquids and solids are nearly opaque to radiation at nearly all wavelengths. why is that

anastassius [24]

As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.

(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )
