<span>There are several ways this condition can be caused:
</span>One way is by rubbing certain materials together or pulling them apart. Another way that static electricity commonly seen is when a charged material is brought near a neutral material. This is called electrostatic induction. You can also cause static electric separation of charges by using pressure in certain materials or using heat in other materials.

What is the horse power of an electric motor which can do by 1250 joule of work in 5 seconds​
Ksju [112]
1250 J in 5 sec= 250 Joule(s) per second (1250/5 0

250 Joules per second = 250 Watts ( 1J/s = 1 Watt per definition)

250 Watts output = 250/0.65 efficiency = 384 Watts input

1 Horsepower = 732 Watts

Motors 1 Horsepower and under are made in certain step sizes like

3/4 , 1/2 , 1/3, 1/4, 1/16 1/20 of a Horsepower.

3/4 Horsepower is 549 Watts

1/2 Horsepower is 366 Watts

so you need to 3/4 horsepower motor to achieve 1250 J of work in 5 seconds.

A radio wave has a speed of 3.00 x10^8 and a frequency of 100 MHz. What is the wavelength?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of radio is wave is 3 m

Explanation:

Wavelength of radio is wave is

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v=3 \times 10^8 m\s\\f=100 Mhz

wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{100\times 10^6} \\\\\lambda=3 m\\
