How is a net electric charge produced

1 answer:

4 0

If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

Answer:

Travelled 18 km, they are 6 km from home.

Explanation:

12/2 (halfway) is 6km. So, 6 + 12 would be 18 km, total amount travelled. The total distance of the trip would be 24 km (12 km out, 12km back) if they travelled 12+6 (18km) then they only have 6 km more to go.

How do you know or find out if an element is a solid, liquid or gas?

Liquid is not a solid object so make sure you define them

A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 14 m/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera fr

fgiga [73]

Answer:

<em>The balloon is 66.62 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Combined Motion </u>

The problem has a combination of constant-speed motion and vertical launch. The hot-air balloon is rising at a constant speed of 14 m/s. When the camera is dropped, it initially has the same speed as the balloon (vo=14 m/s). The camera has an upward movement for some time until it runs out of speed. Then, it falls to the ground. The height of an object that was launched from an initial height yo and speed vo is

$\displaystyle y=y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}$

The values are

$\displaystyle y_o=15\ m$

$\displaystyle v_o=14\ m/s$

We must find the values of t such that the height of the camera is 0 (when it hits the ground)

$\displaystyle y=0$

$\displaystyle y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=0$

Multiplying by 2

$\displaystyle 2y_o+2v_ot-gt^2=0$

Clearing the coefficient of $t^2$

$\displaystyle t^2-\frac{2\ V_o}{g}\ t-\frac{2\ y_o}{g}=0$

Plugging in the given values, we reach to a second-degree equation

$\displaystyle t^2-2.857t-3.061=0$

The equation has two roots, but we only keep the positive root

$\displaystyle \boxed {t=3.69\ s}$

Once we know the time of flight of the camera, we use it to know the height of the balloon. The balloon has a constant speed vr and it already was 15 m high, thus the new height is

$\displaystyle Y_r=15+V_r.t$
