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".

What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio
pantera1 [17]
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.

In the metric system, the appropriate unit for weight is the _____. gram newton newton/cm2 gram/cm3
Archy [21]

Answer:

Newton

Explanation:

The earth attracts every body towards its centre. The force with which the earth attracts any body towards its centre, is called its weight.

It is a vector quantity.

It always acts towards the centre of earth.

The SI unit of Newton.

what is the momentum of a child and a wagon if the total mass of the child and wagon is 22kg and the velocity is 1.5m/s?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

33 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the total mass of the child and the wagon is m =22 kg, while the velocity is v = 1.5 m/s, therefore the momentum is

p=mv=(22 kg)(1.5 m/s)=33 kg m/s
