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.

A 1.0 kg football is given an initial velocity at ground level of 20.0 m/s [37 above horizontal]. It gets blocked just after re
stepan [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Neglect air resistance.
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
 (20 m/s)*cos(37°) = 15.973 m/s
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
 (20 m/s)*sin(37°) = 12.036 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity is g =9.8 m/s².
The time, t s, for the ball to reach a height of 3 m is given by 
(12.036 m/s)*(t s) - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)² = (3 m)
12.036t - 4.9t² - 3 = 0
2.4543t - t² - 0.6122 = 0
t² - 2.4563t + 0.6122 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
t = (1/2)[2.4563 +/- √(6.0334 - 2.4488)]
t = 2.1748 or 0.2815 s
The ball reaches a height of 3 m twice.
The first time it reaches 3 m height is 0.2815 s.

Part a.
The vertical velocity when t = 0.2815 s is
Vy  = 12.036 - 9.8*0.2815
   = 9.2773 m/s
The horizontal component of velocity is Vx = 15.973 m/s
The resultant velocity is 
√(9.2773² + 15.973² ) = 18.47 m/s
Answer:
The velocity at a height of 3.0 m  is 18.5 m/s (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The horizontal distance traveled is 
d = (15.973 m/s)*(0.2815 s) = 4.4964 m
Answer:
The horizontal distance traveled is 4.5 m (nearest tenth)

What is the pendulum length whose period is 2.0s ?
Mashutka [201]
Formula\ for\ period:\\\ T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\ g-gravity=9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} ,\ L-pendulum \ length \\\\ \frac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }|square\\\\ \frac{T^2}{2 \pi } = \frac{L}{g} \\\\\ \frac{T^2}{2 \pi }*g=L\\\\ L= \frac{2^2}{2*3,14 }*9,8= \frac{39,2}{6,28} =6,24mT=2 \pi   \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\
 \frac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }|square\\
 \frac{T^2}{2 \pi }  = \frac{L}{g} \\
 \frac{T^2}{2 \pi }*g=L\\
L= \frac{2^2}{2*3,14 }*9,8= \frac{39,2}{6,28} =6,24m

If a 25 kg lawnmower produces 347 w and does 9514 J of work, for
Igoryamba

Steps 1 and 2)

The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.

The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.

-----------------------

Step 3)

Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P

-----------------------

Step 4)

t = W/P

t = 9514/347

t = 27.4178674351586

t = 27.4 seconds

-----------------------

Step 5)

The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.

-----------------------

Note: we don't use the mass at all

If the net force on a block is zero
amm1812

If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:

\sum F = 0

According to eq.(1), this also implies that

a=0

So, the acceleration of the block is zero.

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the change in velocity in a time of \Delta t. Since the acceleration is zero, this means that \Delta v=0, and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.
