On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small

bits of paper will be attracted to the comb. Explain why.

When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

p=m.v

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.

What does the statement "all motion is relative"<br> mean?
tekilochka [14]
The statement that motion is relative is an important concept in physics. The meaning behind this statement is that the motion of an object is relative to either the frame of reference of the observer, or to another distinct frame of reference.

HELP PLS!!!! Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is th
maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s .  It's right there in the question.  You said that light travels about  982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year.  But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.

A body of volume 2000 cm3 has a mass 4 kg. Find the density of the body. Will the body sink or float in water, if the density of
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

2 g/cm^3, it will sink

Explanation:

The density of an object is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the body in the problem, we have

m = 4 kg = 4000 g

V=2000 cm^3

Therefore, its density is

d=\frac{4000}{2000}=2 g/cm^3

And the object will sink in water, because its density is larger than that of water, which is 1 g/cm^3. (an object sinks when its density is larger than that of water, otherwise it floats).
