What is static electricity and how does it differ from current electricity

Physics

Answer:

1. Static electricity is caused by the build up of electrical charges on the surface of objects, while current electricity is a phenomenon from the flow of electrons along a conductor. 2. When objects are rubbed, a loss and/or gain of electrons occurs, which results in the phenomenon of static electricity.

An 11.0 -W energy-efficient fluorescent lightbulb is designed to produce the same illumination as a conventional 40.0-W incandes

yarga [219]

The amount or cost that the user of the energy-efficient bulb save during 100h of use will be $0.319.

<h3>How to calculate the cost?</h3>

For the 11.0W bulb, it should be noted that the value will be:

= 11.0 × 100 × (1/1000) × 0.110

= $0.121

The 40W bulb will be:

= 40 × 100 × (1/1000) × 0.110

= $0.44

Therefore, the amount that will be saved will be:

= $0.44 - $0.121

= $0.319

What is the force required to accelerate a baseball with a mass of 0.145 kilograms and an acceleration of 35.00 meters/second sq

Paladinen [302]

Answer:5.075N

Explanation:

Mass=0.145kg

Acceleration=35m/s^2

Force=mass x acceleration

A bug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . What minimum coefficient frictio

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, start with identifying the forces at play here. First, the bug staying on the rotating turntable will be subject to the centripetal force constantly acting toward the center of the turntable (in absence of which the bug would leave the turntable in a straight line). Second, there is the force of friction due to which the bug can stick to the table. The friction force acts as an intermediary to enable the centripetal acceleration to happen.

Centripetal force is written as

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

with v the linear velocity and r the radius of the turntable. We are not given v, but we can write it as

$v = r\omega$

with ω denoting the angular velocity, which we are given. With that, the above becomes:

$F_c = m\frac{v^2}{r}=m\omega^2 r$

Now, the friction force must be at least as much (in magnitude) as Fc. The coefficient (static) of friction μ must be large enough. How large?

$F_r=\mu mg \geq m\omega^2 r = F_c\implies\\\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}$

Let's plug in the numbers. The angular velocity should be in radians per second. We are given rev/min, which can be easily transformed by a factor 2pi/60:

$\frac{1 rev}{1 min}\cdot\frac{\frac{2\pi rad}{rev}}{\frac{60s}{1 min}}=\frac{2\pi}{60}\frac{rad}{s}$

and so 45 rev/min = 4.71 rad/s.

$\mu \geq \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}=\frac{4.71^2\frac{1}{s^2}\cdot 0.12m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}=0.27$

A static coefficient of friction of at least be 0.27 must be present for the bug to continue enjoying the ride on the turntable.
