You venture out on a cold winter morning to warm up your vehicle. You have layers of cotton/polyester blend clothes on and from

walking on carpeting you have accumulated a net negative charge. Your car is considered a neutral conductor. As you place your hand near the door handle (without touching it) what happens to the charges of your car?
A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.
B. Nothing, since your hand is not touching the car it cannot transfer any charge.
C. Nothing, the charges are too cold to deliver any response.
D. There is a localization of negative charge near the door handle.

Answer:

A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.

Explanation:

When on a cold morning a person wearing cotton/ polyester cloth walking on the carpet moves toward his car then due to friction between the feet and the carpet there are transfer of electrons from the carpet to our feet, and since our body is a good conductor of electricity the charges spread throughout on the surface of or body.

When the person brings his hands close to the neutral conducting door of the car it gets induced with equal intensity of opposite charge to our hands thus having a concentration of positive charges near to the hand on the car's door is developed as a result of polarization within the conductor.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

$\tau=I*\alpha$

given

$\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?$

$\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2$

the angular velocity is

$\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s$

$KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2$

$KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J$

About 65 million years ago an asteroid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatán Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many ot

9966 [12]

Answer:

$2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km$

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

$H_v$ = Heat vaporization of water = $2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg$

The kinetic energy is

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J$

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Mass of water is $2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Volume is $\dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

Amount of water is $2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

If it were a cube

$h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m$

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m

A car accelerates from rest to 90m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration and how far did it travel?

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

90m/s*3seconds

=270m

A person of mass 55 kg swings on a rope length 4 m from rest (when the rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical) and

vovangra [49]

Answer:

θ = 19.66°

Explanation:

To determine the angle that the rope makes with the vertical for the two people, you first take into account the potential energy of the first person before he swings on the rope:

$U=mgh$

h: distance to the ground

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

m: mass of the first person = 55 kg

In the image attache below you can notice that the height h is:

$h=4-4cos(30\°)=0.53m$

Then, the potential energy is:

$U=(55kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.53m)=285.67J$

When the first person picks up the second person (when the rope is exactly vertical), all the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Next, when both people reaches the maximum height h' the energy must be equal to the initial potential energy of the first person:

$U'=(m_1+m_2)gh'=285.67\ J$

From the previous equation you can get h':

$h'=\frac{285.67J}{(55kg+70kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.2332m$

Finally, you obtain the angle between the rope at the height h,' and the vertical, by calculating the following:

$h'=4-4cos(\theta)\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-h'}{4})=cos^{-1}(\frac{4-0.2332}{4})=19.66\°$

hence, the angle between the rope and the vertical, when the two people are in the rope is 19.66°
