<h3><u>Van de graff generator discharge:</u></h3>

A "Van de Graaff generator" is a device that has been designed to produce static electricity. The van de graff generator works on the principle of "electrostatic induction", due to which electrostatic potential is constant at any other point throughout the conductor.

It is also observed that van de graff discharge takes place in air or gases which are readily pointed at the conductors. Discharge occurs in the air because most of the static charges get removed by the gases present in the air.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

1066.67 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 96 km/h = 26.67 m/s

v = 48 km/h = 13.33 m/s

Δx = 800 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(13.33 m/s)² = (26.67 m/s)² + 2a (800 m)

a = -0.333 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 26.67 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -0.333 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (26.67 m/s)² + 2 (-0.333 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 1066.67 m

Round as needed.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Centripetal acceleration = 0.931 m/s²

Centripetal force = = 1.234 × 10^-4 Newtons

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula v²/r, where r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

Centripetal acc = 3.2²/11

                          = 0.931 m/s²

Centripetal force is a force that acts on an object or a body in circular path and is directed towards the center of the circular path.

Centripetal force is given by the formula;

mv²/r ; where m is the mass of the body, r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

mass = 33 mg or 1.33 × 10^-6 kg, velocity = 3.20 m/s and r = 11 m

Therefore;

Centripetal force = (1.33 ×10^-6 × 3.1²)/ 11

                            = 1.234 × 10^-4 Newtons

Degger [83]

Answer:

Angle of refraction

Explanation:

The incident ray is the ray before it reaches the surface.

The refracted ray is the ray after it reaches the surface.

n₁ is called the index of incidence.

n₂ is called the index of refraction.

θ₁ is called the angle of incidence.

θ₂ is called the angle of refraction.

They are related by Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1/6 m/s^2      ( about 1/6th gravity of Earth ( 9.81 m/s^2)

Explanation:

Displacement =  yo  +  vo t  - 1/2 a t^2

      -  3.2          = 0     +  0     - 1/2 a(2.0)^2

      -     3.2       =                -2a

             a = 3.2 / 2 = 1.6 m/s^2
