Describe what happens, at a microscopic level, when an object is charged by rubbing. For instance, what happens when a plastic p

ipe is rubbed with a cloth? Describe the specific case where the rod becomes negatively charged

Answer:

Explanation:

The static charges are generated due to excess or deficiency of electrons, because these are the smallest quanta of charge available at the molecular level which can get transferred with minimal energy requirement.

These charges are usually generated by friction between  the two surfaces leading to the transfer of electron from one to another.

When a plastic pipe is rubbed with a cloth then due to friction the surface of the cloth loses electron which gets stuck at the surface of the pipe making it negatively charged.

Which has a total mass of 1612 kg. If she accelerates from rest to a speed of 12.87 m/s in 3.47 s, what is the minimum power req
blondinia [14]

Answer:

76969.29 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = F×v............. Equation 1

Where P = Power, F = force, v = velocity

But,

F = ma.......... Equation 2

Where m = mass, a = acceleration

Also,

a = (v-u)/t......... Equation 3

Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), v = 12.87 m/s, t = 3.47 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

a = (12.87-0)/3.47

a = 3.71 m/s²

Also Given: m = 1612 kg

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1612(3.71)

F = 5980.52 N.

Finally,

Substitute into equation 1

P = 5980.52×12.87

P = 76969.29 W

A sprinter accelerates from rest to 10.0 m/s in 1.28 s . Part A Part complete What is her acceleration in m/s2? a a = 7.81 m/s2
Mashutka [201]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of sprinter, u = 0

Final speed of sprinter, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 1.28 s

a. We need to find the acceleration of sprinter. It can be calculated using first equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{10\ m/s}{1.28\ s}

a=7.81\ m/s^2

b. Final speed of the sprinter, v = 36 km/h

Time, t = 0.000355 h

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{36}{0.000355}

a=101408.45\ km/h^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Students perform an experiment in which they drop two eggs with equal mass from a balcony. In the first trial, the egg hits the
shepuryov [24]

<u> Answer </u>

The impulse on the second trial is smaller is smaller than in the first trial.

<u>Explanation </u>

Impose of a body is that change in momentum during a time interval. If the change of momentum takes longer then, the impulse of a force is less. I a moving object hits a hard surface the rate of change of momentum is very high. e.i in the first trial, the egg breaks because it hits the hard surface(ground).

In the second trial, the foam cushion absorbs the shock and prolongs the time of impact with the egg hence decreasing the impulse.
