What is the difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with Silk? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

Rubbing the balloon on you hair, the hair causes electrons to be added to the balloon. Hence, the balloon would have excesses electrons.

Hence charge on the balloon is negative.

The effect of the silk is to remove electrons, so when the glass rod is rubbed with silk, the silk remove electrons from the glass rod. Hence, since the rod has lossed electrons, it would then be positively charged.

Hence charge on the glass is positive.

A small sphere has a harge of 9uC and other small sphere has a charge of 4uC.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Electrical force, F = 90 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on sphere 1, $q_1=9\ \mu C=9\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge on sphere 2, $q_1=4\ \mu C=4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between two spheres, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Let F is the electrical force between them. It is given by the formula of electric force which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them such that,

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

$F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{9\times 10^{-6}\times 4\times 10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}$

F = 90 N

So, the electrical force between them is 90 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli

Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse $=30 cm$

i.e. $2 a=30$

Width of Ellipse $=22 cm$

i.e. $2 b=22$

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1$

$a=15 ,b =11$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1$

at $y=4 cm$

$\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1$

$x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}$

$x=10.6 cm$

It is 5.00 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10.0 k

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

In the following diagram, the voltage is 1.5 volts and the resistance is 0.35 ohms. Use Ohm's Law to determine the current in th

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

I = 4.28 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problems we must have knowledge of the law of ohm, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of resistance by current.

Initial data:

v = 1.5 [volt]

R = 0.35 [ohms]

v = I * R

therefore:

I = 1.5 / 0.35

I = 4.28 [amp]

Describe what the effect of increasing the power of a camera would have on the battery life

patriot [66]

Answer:

. Cut Down on the LCD

The biggest battery drain in a camera is the LCD – both the rear screen and the electronic viewfinder. This is the big reason why DSLRs almost always have longer battery life specifications than mirrorless cameras – the optical viewfinder lets you skip LCDs altogether.

However, if you use your DSLR in live view, you’ll notice that its battery life slides dramatically. Side by side against a mirrorless camera, there’s actually a good chance it will die first. LCDs just take a lot of power to run.

What does this imply? Quite simply, you should always do what you can to cut down on LCD usage when your battery is running low.

For DSLR users, that means switching to the optical viewfinder. For mirrorless photographers, it means turning off the camera frequently, or setting it so the viewfinder only activates when you hold it to your eye.

And regardless of the camera you use, drastically cut down on the amount of time you spend reviewing photos. Chimping has its place, but not while your battery warning is blinking red.Optimize Your Battery Saver Settings

Most cameras have menu options designed to improve battery life and maximize your shooting time. For example, the “metering timeout” setting lets you select how long you want the camera to wait during inactivity before shutting off its metering system.

Beyond that, a number of cameras today have an “Eco mode” that minimizes power consumption from the camera’s LCD. On the Canon EOS R, for example, Eco mode dims and then turns off the LCD when not in use, improving your battery life significantly – from 370 to 540 shots per charge, according to Canon’s official specifications.

It’s also important to note that mirrorless cameras are generally more efficient using the rear LCD than the electronic viewfinder. In terms of the EOS R again, Canon only rates 350 shots using the EVF, with no Eco mode to improve it. On the Sony side of things, the new A7R IV is rated for 530 shots via the viewfinder and 670 via the rear LCD.

If none of that applies to you, one option at your disposal is always to lower the brightness of your rear LCD. It might make photography a bit trickier in bright conditions, but the payoff is getting the shot rather than missing it completely due to a dead battery.

Other camera settings and extras that harm battery life include:

Image stabilization (both in-body and in-lens)

Popup flash

Bluetooth and WiFi

Most external accessories: GPS dongles, lightning triggers, wireless remote releases, shotgun mics, etc.

Sometimes, these capabilities are essential for your photo, so it’s worth the battery life sacrifice. But if you’re down to your last bar, double check to ensure that you’re not using any of the above settings or accessories without good reason.
