<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.

Geologists use tools other than the law of superposition to help them with relative dating. Which statements describe those tool
White raven [17]

Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Many web sites describe how to add wires to your clothing to keep you warm while riding your motorcycle. The wires are added to
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

P=42.075W

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}.

The resistance of a wire is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: \rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m.

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

Putting all together:

P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}

Which for our values is:

P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W

What is the impulse of a 2 kg object that starts at 10 m/s and comes to a stop over 0.4 seconds?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Impulse = 20 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of force and time

Also impulse = momentum

Where momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Given that

M = 2kg

V = 10 m/s

Impulse = MV = 2 × 10 = 20 Ns
