Explain why static charges do not build up on a conductor

Static charge builds on anon moving object so the charges in a conductor are moving so it cannot build up

Because it is conducted away IF the conductor is connected to earth;otherwise as the first feller said it will remain where it is and act as in a capacitor.Example is in the gold leaf electroscope where two gold pieces of gold leaf with the same charge visibly separate from one another;but if the electroscope is earthed the charges disappear and the leaves fall back into contact.As to hospital operating theatres such a spray of fine droplets would be attracted to surfaces especially if they were 
<span>charged and would kill germs in unreachable places.A bit like electrostatic painting of car bodies during manufacture where the paint drops ae electrostatic-ally drawn to all surfaces of a car body which is at high voltage of electrostatic charge.  hope that helped</span>

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.

two ships leave a port at the same time. The first ship sails on a bearing of 40 degrees at 18 knots and the second at a bearing
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The distance between the ships is 87.84 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of first ship= 40°

Speed of first ship = 18 knots

Angle of second ship= 130°

Speed of second ship = 26 knots

We need to calculate the resultant velocity

Using cosine rule

v=\sqrt{v_{1}^2+v_{2}^2-2v_{1}v_{2}\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{18^2+26^2-2\times18\times26\times\cos90}

v=\sqrt{18^2+26^2}

v=\sqrt{324+676}

v=10\sqrt{10}

We need to calculate the distance between the ships

d =v\times t

Put the value into the formula

d=10\sqrt{10}\times1.5\times1.852

d=87.84\ km

Hence, The distance between the ships is 87.84 km.

calculate how much charge passes through the LED in 1 hour if the current flowing in the circuit below is 350mA
Morgarella [4.7K]

Given the the current flowing in the circuit and the elapsed time, the charge that passes through the LED is 1260 Coulombs.

<h3>What is Current?</h3>

Current is simply the rate of flow of charged particles i.e electrons caused by EMF or voltage.

If a charge passes through the cross-section of a conductor in a given time, the current I is expressed as;

I = Q/t

Where Q is the charge and t is time elapsed.

Given the data in the question;

  • Time elapsed t = 1hr = 3600s
  • Current I = 350mA = 0.35A
  • Charge Q = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above to determine the charge.

I = Q/t

Q = I × t

Q = 0.35A × 3600s

Q = 1260C

Therefore,  given the the current flowing in the circuit and the elapsed time, the charge that passes through the LED is 1260 Coulombs.

How many watts are used when 6000 joules of energy are consumed in 5 hours?
Ray Of Light [21]
Power = energy / time
Time should be in seconds
5 hours = 5 × 60 minutes = 5 × 60 ×60 seconds = 18000 s
Power = 6000/18000 = 0.333 W

Hope it helped!
