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>

Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases?

mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 x $3^{2}$

= 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 x $4^{2}$

= 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.

A 5kg box is being pulled for a force of 20 n and is sliding with an acceleration of 2 m/s. Find the coefficient of friction

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force = 5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5
