Physics 1: how do we get doorknob shocks

Physics

mel-nik [20]3 years ago

Your shoes get electrons from the carpet and get negatively charged. The electrons spread upward until your whole body has a negative charge in it. The negative charge in your hand pushes back electrons on the doorknob. The front of the doorknob gets a strong positive charge. Electrons jump from your hand to the doorknob.

You feel this electron jump as a doorknob shock.

Hope it helps!

A semi-trailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway truck ramp th
aleksklad [387]

<u>Answer:</u>

The velocity is 30.279 m/s

<u>Explanation</u>:

Consider the initial speed of the semi-trailer be v

Then, initial kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

According to question, the semi-trailer coast along a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 170, and to a distance of 160m to stop

Change in vertical position =h=160 \times \sin 17^{\circ}-0= 46.779m

Final potential energy of semitrailer = mgh

Applying principle of conservation of energy,

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

Solving for v, we get v^2 = 2gh = 2*9.8*46.779 = 916.8684

v^2 = 916.8684

v = 30.279 m/s

Therefore, the velocity is 30.279 m/s

A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom
babymother [125]

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j
