Explain how a charged amber rod can lift tiny bits of paper despite being under the gravitational force of the entire mass of th

e earth.
Physics
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When a charged amber rod is brought near the tiny bits of paper. The bits of paper are neutral. There is an electrostatic force of attraction between the amber rod and tiny bits of paper.

The charged amber rod attracts or repel the bits of paper depending on the charge of amber rod. The electrostatic force is much stronger than the gravitational force.

Therefore, a charged amber rod can lift tiny bits of paper despite being under the gravitational force of the entire mass of the earth.

1) The gravitational force between Ellen and the moon is 1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2) The two forces are equal, while the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Explanation:

1)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

m_1 = 47 kg is the mass of Ellen

m_2 = 7.35\cdot 10^{22} kg is the mass of the moon

r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m is the distance between Ellen and the moon

Substituting, we find the gravitational force between Ellen and the moon:

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(47)(7.35\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.84\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N

2)

We can analyze the forces acting in the collision between the bus and the bicycle by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

Applied to our problem, this means that the force exerted by the bus on the bicycle during the collision (action force) is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by the bicycle on the bus (reaction force).

Now let's analyze the accelerations of the two vehicles. We can find the acceleration of each vehicle by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the force exerted on the vehicle

m is the mass of the vehicle

As we said previously, the force F exerted on each of the two vehicles: so, the acceleration only depends on the mass. In particular, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass: therefore, the larger the mass of the vehicle, the smaller the acceleration. This means that the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

A bodybuilder deadlifts a 215 kg weight to a height of 0.90 m above the ground. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in a span o
wariber [46]

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)

<h3>What is power?</h3>

In physics, power (P) is the work (W) done over a period of time.

  • Step 1. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder each time.

The bodybuilder lifts a 215 kg (m) weight to a height of 0.90 m (h). Being the gravity (g) of 9.81 m/s², we can calculate the work done in each lift using the following expression.

W = m × g × h = 215 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.90 m = 1.9 × 10³ N

  • Step 2. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder over 10 times.

W = 10 × 1.9 × 10³ N = 1.9 × 10⁴ N

  • Step 3. Calculate the power exerted by the bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder does a work of 1.9 × 10⁴ N in a 45-s span.

P = 1.9 × 10⁴ N/45 s = 421 W

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)
