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.

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min}  \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi  \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

A hypodermic needle consists of a plunger of circular cross-section that slides inside a hollow cylindrical syringe. when the pl
Blababa [14]
The fluid that is being passed through the syringe and needle is incompressible, which means that it will transmit pressure equally. Therefore, the pressure on the plunger will be equivalent to the pressure on the needle. We also know that:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure on plunger = 4 / (π*(0.012/2)²)
Pressure on plunger = 35.4 kPa
Pressure on needle = 35.4 kPa

35.4 kPa = F / (4 / (π*(0.0025/2)²)
F = 0.17 N

The force on the needle is 0.17 N

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a _____ scale or _____ scale.
allsm [11]
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
