Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force

can be great enough to support the top piece's weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 15.7 mg piece of tape held 0.72 cm above another. (The magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equal charges be Q .

Force between charges = k Q² / R where R is distance between charges , k = 9 x 10⁹.

Putting the charges

Force F = 9 x 10⁹ x Q² /( .72 x 10⁻²)²

= 17.36 x 10¹³ Q² N

This force equals weight so

17.36 x 10¹³ Q² = 15.7 x 10⁻³

Q² = .90 x 10⁻¹⁶

Q = .95 x 10⁻⁸

= 9.5 x 10⁻⁹

= 9.5 nC.

(LC)Light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the
Sedaia [141]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that light fixtures and placement that create shadows on the set, that obscure or completely hide action in certain areas of the set, or that change as the main character’s emotional state changes are all ways that lighting can be used to heighten the drama and suspense in dramatic films.

Lighting plays an important role in film making because it can create scenes that enhance the de drama of the moment or the right mood that the director wants to share. Lighting in the film is an art because the basic principle is that the scene needs to look natural. From that principle, filmmakers and light specialist cand create many kinds of dramatic or jubilation moments if they know how to apply light principles to each scene.

Where does the majority of the mass of an atom come from
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume.  I hope this helps you :D

A 2.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (magnitude P = 4.0 N) acting parallel to the surface is applied to
irinina [24]

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².

<h3>Frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface</h3>

The frictional force between the block and the horizontal surface is determined by applying Newton's law;

∑F = ma

F - Ff = ma

Ff = F - ma

Ff = 4 - 2(1.2)

Ff = 4 - 2.4

Ff = 1.6 N

When the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is calculated as follows;

F - Ff = ma

5 - 1.6 = 2a

3.4 = 2a

a = 3.4/2

a = 1.7 m/s²

Thus, when the applied force increases to 5 N, the magnitude of the block's acceleration is 1.7 m/s².
