How does a person become "charged" as he or she shuffles across a carpet with bare feet on a dry winter day?

Physics
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
3 0

This process occurs because there is a contact between the carpet and the person's feet. Basically that contact generates the transfer of some electrons to the carpet on dry winter days.

In this way a person is charged when dragging bare feet on the carpet on a dry winter day.

Therefore, the net positive charge occurs on the surface of the carpet.

A truck accidentally rolls down a driveway for 8.0\,\text m8.0m8, point, 0, start text, m, end text while a person pushes agains
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to work energy theorem

change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it

work done against it = force x displacement

= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J

change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .

energy will be reduced by 6800 J

An airplane is being pushed West by its engines with a force of 350 N as it starts to take off the runway at the Atlanta airport
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Force by the engine on plane in West direction = 350 N

Frictional force on the runway = 100 N in east

force exerted by the wind = 100 N in east

net force and direction = ?

consider west to be positive and east be negative.

when airplane will be moving there will be frictional as well as wind resistance will be acting in opposite direction of airplane

Net force = 350 N - 100 N - 100 N

                 = 150 N

as our answer comes out to be positive so the airplane will be moving in West

hence, the correct answer is option C

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.
horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, A=3\ m^2

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.
