A person has long hair hanging straight down from their head. A second person rubs a balloon with felt so that the balloon is ne

gatively charged, then brings it near the first person's hair without allowing the balloon to touch the hair. They notice that strands of the first person's hair are attracted to the balloon. The second person then rubs another balloon with plastic wrap so that it is positively charged, and again they notice that the balloon attracts strands of the first person's hair. Which is the best explanation for the attraction of the hair to the balloon

Answer:

<em>The best explanation is that the first person is grounded to the earth, and his/her body either draws up negative charges from the earth, or tend to conducts negative charges to the earth, depending on the charge on the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

The earth is an infinite store for charges. In the first case where the second person brings a negatively charged balloon towards the first person, the negative charges on the balloon induces the first person's body to tend to attract the negative charges on the balloon through the first person's body to the positive charges within the earth. In the second case when again a positively charged balloon is brought near the first person's hair, the positive charges on the balloon induce the first person's body into drawing up negative charges from within the earth. This charges, and their opposite induced charges, create an attractive force between the hair strands and the balloons.

A complete circuit contains two parallel connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance
irga5000 [103]
We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s
