Mrs. Adams' class decides to try an experiment. She rubs a blown up balloon on Sandy's head. After this, she takes the balloon a

nd places it on the side of the wall, where it sticks, instead of falling to the ground. Also, Sandy's hair is now sticking almost straight out. What is the reason the balloon is now sticking to the wall? A) The balloon has a static electric charge from rubbing Sandy's hair. B) The wall has been electrically charged and so attracts the balloon. C) The balloon lost its static electric charge by rubbing Sandy's hair. D) The balloon would have stuck to the wall whether or not it was rubbed on Sandy's hair.

The correct answer is A. The balloon has a static electric charge from rubbing Sandy's hair.

Explanation:

In physics, the static electricity occurs as one surface or element is charged due to contact or friction, which leads to an imbalance in charges. In the case presented, the ballon and Sandy's hair have static electricity because they have been rubbed with each other. This also means, the electrical charges in both had changed and this makes the balloon be negatively charged and the hair positively charged or vice-versa which causes each of these objectes to stick to certain surfaces and to repel others. According to this, the reason the ballon is now sticking to the wall is "The balloon has a static electric charge from rubbing Sandy's hair".

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question:

a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 44kg , the acceleration of the object is 4m/s². If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 11kg what is this object's acceleration?

Answer: 8m/s²

Explanation:

From the statement we deduced that acceleration varies inversely with mass where force was kept constant.

Therefore,

F/m = a or F = ma

For the first statement, substituting the mass and acceleration gives:

F = 44 x 4 = 88N

Applying the force above to the second mass gives us:

a = 88/11 = 8m/s²

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})
