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.

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

A diver springs upward from a board that is 2.70 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 10.9 m/s
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

vo=5.87m/s

Explanation:

Hello! In this problem we have a uniformly varied rectilinear movement.

Taking into account the data:

α =69.2

vf = 10m / s

h=2.7m

g=9.8m/s2

We know we want to know the speed on the y axis.

We calculate vfy

vfy = 10m / s * (sen69.2) = 9.35m / s

We can use the following equation.

vf^{2} =vo^{2}+2*g*h\\

We clear the vo (initial speed)

vo=\sqrt{vf^{2}-2*g*h }

v0=\sqrt{(9.35m/s)^{2}-2*9.8m/s^{2} *2.7m}

vo=5.87m/s
