Because static electricity build up in our homes because we have the heaters on which suck moisture out of the air.
Answer:
μ = 0.375
Explanation:
F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N
W = weight of the trash can = 200 N
f = frictional force acting on trash can
Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as
F - f = 0
75 - f = 0
f = 75 N
μ = Coefficient of friction
frictional force is given as
f = μ W
75 = μ (200)
μ = 0.375
1. 0.16 N
The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the asteroid
m = 100 kg is the mass of the man
r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid
Substituting, we find

2. 1.7 m/s
In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:
