Your clothing tends to cling together after going through the dryer. Why? Would you expect more or less clinging if all your clo

thing were made of the same material (say, cotton) than if you dried different kinds of clothing together? Again, why? (You may want to experiment with your next load of laundry.)

Answer and Explanation:

The clothing after spinning in the dryer cling together. This is because in the dryer they are rubbed against each other and due to this rubbing, electrons are transferred from one to the other clothes and acquire charge as a result of charging by friction thus producing static electricity.

As the material of the clothes in the dryer is different, clinging will be more.

The sticking of these clothes together is known as Static cling.

In case, the clothing are of same material, the static electricity produced as a result of frictional charging would be less and hence less static cling would occur.

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

A 2800 kg truck moving at 12 m/s to the right hits a stopped 1100 kg car. What is the combined velocity the moment they stick to
leva [86]

Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

The answer would be B..

Since sand can heat up quickly, it will also cool off quickly. But water takes a long time to heat up and cool down.
