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.

Between which two points did they travel fastest?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

During the section CD , the speed is fastest.

Explanation:

The rate of change of distance is called speed.

Speed = distance / time

Its SI unit ism/s. It is a scalar quantity.

The slope of the distance time graph is given by the speed of the object.

Here, the speed of AB is 30/3= 10 m/s .

The speed of BC is = 0 m/s

The speed of CD is (50 - 30)/(6 - 5) = 20 m/s

So, the speed is maximum during the section CD.

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

A
asambeis [7]

Answer:

22Volts

Explanation:

The pd at the terminal is known as the emf

Since there are Ten 2.2V cells

Terminal voltage = number of cells * pd of one cell

Terminal voltage = 10 * 2.2

Terminal voltage = 22V

Hence the pd at the battery terminals​ is 22Volts

What is the relationship between electric motors, generators, and transformers?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A generator turns rotary motion into electricity. It is basically the inverse of a motor. Generally a transformer changes one voltage into another based on the number of conductor windings on each side. There are two sets of windings called the “primary” and the “secondary”.
