electric forces can act at a distance.

When Jim walked across the carpeted floor, his body gained electrons from the carpet. The presence of these electrons generated a force between his finger and the doorknob. Since he did not need to actually touch the doorknob for the electrons to be pulled from his finger, this demonstrates that electric forces can act at a distance.

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?
LiRa [457]
The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.  

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.  

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.

How do odd-shaped ceilings, decorative panels, draperies, and glass windows affect echo and noise?
vesna_86 [32]
I think they decrease echo and reduce noise, they do this by either absorbing vibrations or by scattering the sound so that echoes arrive at different times rather than reverberating as a standing wave. An echo is a reflection of a sound that arrives at the listener with a delay after the direct sound. The delay is usually proportional to the distance of the reflecting surface from the source and the listener.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the time needed for her to close the door is 1.36 s.

Explanation:

given information:

Force, F = 220 N

width, r = 1.40 m

weight, W = 790 N

height, h = 3.00 m

angle, θ = 90° = π/2

to find the times needed to close the door we can use the following equation

θ = ω₀t + 1/2 αt²

where

θ = angle

ω = angular velocity

α = angular acceleration

t = time

in this case, the angular velocity is zero. thus,

θ = 1/2 αt²

now, we can find the angular speed by using the torque formula

τ = I α

where

τ = torque

I = Inertia

we know that

τ = F r

and

I = 1/3 mr²

so,

τ = I α

F r = 1/3 mr² α

α = 3 F/mr

  = 3 F/(w/g)r

  = 3 (220)/(790/9.8) 1.4

  = 5.85 rad/s²

θ = 1/2 αt²

π/2 = 1/2 5.85 t²

t = 1.36 s
