Why does a balloon that is rubbed on someoneâs shirt stick to a wall at a party?

1 answer:

8 0

When we rub balloon on a shirt the balloon will steal electrons from the shirt and the shirt will become positively charged and balloon will negatively charged.<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>

(b) A piece of wood of volume 0.6 m² floats in water. Find the volume

enot [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume below water be v . Then

buoyant force = v d g where d is density of water , g is acceleration due to gravity

= v x 1000 x g

weight of wood piece = volume x density of wood x g

= .6 x 600 x g

for equilibrium while floating

buoyant force = weight

= v x 1000 x g = .6 x 600 x g

v = .36 m²

volume above water or volume exposed = .6 - .36

= .24 m²

When immersed completely ,

buoyant force = .6 x 1000 x 9.8

= 5880 N

weight of wood

= .6 x 600 x g

= 3528 N

buoyant force is more than the weight . In order to equalise them for floating with full volume in water

weight required = 5880 - 3528

= 2352 N.

A waitperson carrying a tray with a platter on it tips the tray at an angle of 12 degrees below the horizontal. If the gravitati

Tasya [4]

Answer:1.04 N

Explanation:

Given

Gravitational Force on the Platter is $5 N$

Tray makes an angle of $\theta =12^{\circ}$

This gravitational Force has components along and Perpendicular to Platter

Perpendicular Force $W_p=W\cos \theta$

$W_p=5\times \cos 12=4.89 N$

Along the Tray

$W_{along}=W\sin \theta$

$W_{along}=5\times \sin 12=1.04 N$

Thus 1.04 N is the magnitude of force that will cause Platter to slide down

The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 105 N/C. This field is the result of t

balu736 [363]

Answer:

$D=2.996\times 10^{-2} m$

Explanation:

*Assume the parallel disks have equal diameters.

Given the electric strength as $1.0\times 10^5 N/C.$ transferring $3.9\times 10^9$ electrons, the disk's Area can be calculated using the formula:

$E=\frac{\eta}{\epsilon_o}=\frac{Q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\\A=\frac{Q}{E\epsilon_o}\\\\=\frac{(3.9\times 10^9)\times (1.6\times10^{-19})}{(1.0\times 10^5 )\times (8.85\times10^{-12})}\\\\A=7.0508\times 10^{-4} \ m^2$

#We now calculate the disks diameter:

$A=\pi(D/2)^2\\\\2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}=D\\\\=2\sqrt{7.0508\times 10^{-4}/\pi}\\\\D=2.996\times 10^{-2} \ m$

Hence, the diameter of the disks is $D=2.996\times 10^{-2} m$

A car is traveling at 10 m/s. 10 seconds later the car is traveling 40 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

t = 10 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

40 = 10 + 10a

---> a = 3 m/s^2
