When you polish a window with a dry cloth on a dry day it becomes dusty why does this not happen on a wet day

When glass is rubbed with a dry cloth, the friction creates charged static electricity; this in turn attracts small non charged particles of dust. The simplest way to put it, the dry cloth creates a static charge that attracts non charged dust particles.

I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance = Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m

A 50-gram sample of water is initially at a temperature of 22 °C. The sample is heated until the temperature is 32 °C The specif

forsale [732]

Answer:

500cal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 50g

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 32°C

Specific heat of water = 1cal/g

Unknown:

Amount of heat absorbed by the water in calories = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

H = m c Ф

H is the amount of heat absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the temperature change

H = 50 x 1 x (32 - 22) = 500cal

You leave the doctor's office after your annual checkup and recall that you weighed 688 N in her office. You then get into an el

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards

Explanation:

Given:

weight of the person, $w=688\ N$

So, the mass of the person:

$m=\frac{w}{g}$

$m=\frac{688}{9.81}$

$m=70.132\ kg$

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 726\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w_a-w$

$\Delta w=726-688$

$\Delta w=38\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{38}{70.132}$

$a=0.5418\ m.s^{-2}$ upwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is increased here.

Now if the apparent weight in the elevator, $w_a= 598\ N$

<u>Then the difference between the two weights is :</u>

$\Delta w=w-w_a$

$\Delta w=688-598$

$\Delta w=90\ N$ is the force that acts on the body which generates the acceleration.

Now the corresponding acceleration:

$a=\frac{\Delta w}{m}$

$a=\frac{90}{70.132}$

$a=1.283\ m.s^{-2}$ downwards, because the normal reaction that due to the weight of the body is decreased here.
