Why do you experience a shock or even see a spark when you reach for a doorknob.

Answer: static electricity

Explanation:

You see, you rubbed your body either against a coat or the carpet. It send negative electrons throughout your body and once you hit metal with your hand it creates an electric shock that’s called static electricity.

When you touch a doorknob, all the charge wants to leave you and go to the doorknob. You see a spark and get a shock as the electrons leave you. Lightning is the result of static electricity.

A small remote-control car with a mass of 1.65 kg moves at a constant speed of v = 12.0 m/s in a vertical circle inside a hollow
Reil [10]

Answer:

N=63.69N

Explanation:

The normal force exerted on the car by the walls of the cylinder at the bottom of the vertical circle will be such that when substracted to the weight it must give the centripetal force, since at that point on the vertical F_{cp}=N-W=N-mg

We also know that the equation for the centripetal force is:

F_{cp}=ma_{cp}=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Mixing both equations we get:

N-mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

N=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}

Which for our values means:

N=(1.65Kg)(9.8m/s^2)+\frac{(1.65Kg)(12m/s)^2}{(5m)}=63.69N

If a body accelerates from a state of relative rest in a gravity field, where does the energy come from to transfer as kinetic e
Delvig [45]

The energy that transforms into kinetic energy is the Potential Energy. It happens that objects can store energy as a result of its position. Image for example a slingshot. When you stretch the slingshot, it stores energy, this energy would be the energy you used to stretch the slingshot, the material aborbs it and then release to throw the projectile.

Now, on earth and everywhere in the universe where you are close to an object with mass, it exists a force called gravity that attracts you towards that object. Every object that has mass exercises gravitational attration towards the other objects. It just happens that Earth is has so much mass that its gravitational pull is way stronger that the gravitational pull of another object on its surface. This means things will tend to be as close as earth as possible, and in order to move something away from earth, you will have to perform a force in the opposite direction to Earth and, therefore, consume energy. This energy will be store as potential energy, and when you drop the object, the potential energy will be the energy that will transform to kinetic energy.

List an example of each of the four classes polymers that living things make and use
slamgirl [31]


The four classes of polymers are:

1. Nucleic acids.  Examples are DNA and RNA

2. Protein. Examples are enzymes and hemoglobin

3. Carbohydrates. Examples as starch and glycogen

4. Lipids. Examples are triglycerides and phospholipids

The building blocks of nucleic acids are called bases and there are four types known as Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The building blocks of carbohydrates are glucose molecules.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

The building blocks of lipids are a combination of fatty acids and glycerol.

What force is left out of the Quantum Mechanics theory?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Quantum mechanics is a key hypothesis in material science that gives a portrayal of the actual properties of nature at the size of iotas and subatomic particles. It is the establishment of all quantum physical science including quantum science, quantum field hypothesis, quantum innovation, and quantum data science.

Explanation:

It is the greatest of issues, it is the littlest of issues. At present physicists have two separate rule books clarifying how nature functions. There is general relativity, which perfectly represents gravity and everything it overwhelms: circling planets, impacting worlds, the elements of the growing universe all in all. That is enormous. At that point there is quantum mechanics, which handles the other three powers – electromagnetism and the two atomic powers. Quantum hypothesis is very proficient at portraying what happens when a uranium molecule rots, or when singular particles of light hit a sun based cell. That is little.
