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.

Two ions with masses of 4.39×10−27 kg move out of the slit of a mass spectrometer and into a region where the magnetic field is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7.2 cm

Explanation:

magnetic field, B = 0.301 T

speed, v = 7.92 x 10^5 m/s

mass, m = 4.39 x 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

The radius of singly changed ion is given by

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}

where, m is the mass of ion, v be the speed of ion, B is the magnetic field and q be the charge

r = \frac{4.39\times 10^{-27}\times 7.92 \times 10^{5}}{0.301\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.072 m

r = 7.2 cm

The unit for <br> ΔL/L<br> is
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the unit for ΔL/L is "unitless".

Explanation:

Given;

ΔL/L

by physics convection, the above parameters can be defined as;

delta L (ΔL) is change in length, with SI unit as meters (m),

L is the original length of the material, with SI unit as meters (m)

The ratio of the change in length to the original length has no unit since both units cancel out during the division.

\frac{\Delta L }{L } = \frac{(m)}{(m)} = \ unitless

This ratio (ΔL/L), is also called tensile strain and it has no unit.

Therefore, the unit for ΔL/L is "unitless".

N instrument uses a battery that provides 500 J of energy for 1200 seconds. What is the power of the instrument?
Oxana [17]

Answer: 0.42 watts

Explanation:

Given that:

power = ?

energy =500 joules

time = 1200 seconds

Recall that power is the rate of energy expended per unit time

i.e Power = energy / time

Power = 500J / 1200seconds

Power = 0.416 watts (rounded to the nearest hundredth as 0.42 watts)

Thus, the power of the instrument is 0.42 watts
