a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>
b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.
c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>
d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>
e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>
f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

Answer:
K =6.697 Kg/s²
Explanation:
Given:
delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg
delta x = 6cm = 0.06m
g = 9.8 m/s²
according to the given formula
K = delta m g /delta x
K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m
K =6.697 Kg/s²
Answer:
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Explanation:
Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.
When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:
where
:
is the index of refraction of the 1st medium
is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)
is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)
In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:
(index of refraction of air)
approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)
Snell's Law can be rewritten as

And since
, we have

And so

Which means that
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Answer:
Time spent on the greenway road = 4.5 hours
Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours
Explanation:
The distance of the trip is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.
Let us divide the trip into two
Greenway
speed = distance/time
speed = 62 mph
time = a
distance = speed × time
distance = 62a
2 lane highway
speed = distance/time
speed = 54 mph
time = b
distance = speed × time
distance = 54b
Total distance
62a + 54b = 360......................(i)
Total time
a + b = 6..............................(ii)
a = 6-b
insert a in equation (i)
62(6-b) + 54b = 360
372 - 62b + 54b = 360
-8b = 360-372
-8b = - 12
b = 12/8
b = 1.5
from equation (ii)
a + 1.5 = 6
a = 6 - 1.5
a = 4.5
