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.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

amid [387]

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the stopping distance should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is can apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.

A tube is sealed at both ends and contains a 0.0100-m long portion of liquid. The length of the tube is large compared to 0.0100

Ahat [919]

Answer:

31.321 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Tube length

A = Area of tube

$\rho$ = Density of fluid

v = Fluid velocity

m = Mass = $\rho Al$

Centripetal force is given by

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{L}\\ F=\dfrac{m(\omega L)^2}{L}\\ F=m\omega^2\\ F= 0.01A\rho\omega^2L$

Pressure is given by

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.01A\rho\omega^2L}{A}=\rho gL\\\Rightarrow 0.01\omega^2=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2=\dfrac{g}{0.01}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.01}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=31.321\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the tube is 31.321 rad/s

Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

$F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\$

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

$F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]$

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.
