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".

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

A standing wave pattern is created on a string with mass density μ = 3.4 × 10-4 kg/m. A wave generator with frequency f = 61 Hz
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

1) λ = 0.413 m , 2)v = 25,213 m / s , 3)  T = 0.216 N , 4) m = 22.04 10-3 kg

Explanation:

1) The resonance occurs when the traveling wave bounces at the ends and the two waves are added, the ends as they are fixed have a node, the wavelength and the length of the string are related

         λ = 2L / n               n = 1, 2, 3 ...

In this case L = 0.62 m and n = 3

Let's calculate

        λ = 2 0.62 / 3

        λ = 0.413 m

2) the velocity related to wavelength and frequency

      v =  λ f

      v = 0.413 61

      v = 25,213 m / s

3) let's use the equation

     v = √T /μ

     T = v² μ

     T = 25,213² 3.4 10⁻⁴

     T = 0.216 N

4) the rope tension is proportional to the hanging weight

      T-W = 0

     T = W

    W = m g

    m = W / g

    m = 0.216 / 9.8

    m = 22.04 10-3 kg

5) n = 2

     λ = 2 0.62 / 2

     λ = 0.62 m

6) v =  λ f

     v = 0.62 61

     v = 37.82 m / s

7) T = v² μ

   T = 37.82² 3.4 10⁻⁴

   T = 0.486 N

8) m = W / g

   m = 0.486 / 9.8

   m = 49.62 10⁻³ kg

9) n = 1

    λ = 2 0.62

    λ = 1.24 m

    v = 1.24 61

    v = 75.64 m / s

    T = v² miu

    T = 75.64² 3.4 10⁻⁴

    T = 2.572 10⁻² N

    m = 2.572 10⁻² / 9.8

    m = 262.4 10⁻³ kg

In the diagram, q1 = +6.39*10^_9 C and
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The electric potential will be "259.695 volt".

Explanation:

In the given question, the figure is not provided. Below is the attached figure given.

Given:

q_1=6.39\times 10^{-9} \ C

q_2=3.22\times 10^{-9} \ C

AP=(0.150+0.250)

      =0.40 \ m

BP=0.25 \ m

Now,

At point P, the electric potential will be:

⇒ V=\frac{q_1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o AP } +\frac{q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_o BP}

By putting values, we get

⇒     =9\times 10^9 [\frac{6.39\times 10^{-9}}{0.40} +\frac{3.22\times 10^{-9}}{0.25} ]

⇒     =259.695 \ Volt
