When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
Answer:
This process is known as static electricity
Explanation:
When balloon is rubbed on the wool , a negative charge is usually formed. When the balloon is then held over—but not touching—some bits of paper, some of the bits jump up to the balloon. The bits which jump up to the balloon are positive charged and we know that unlike charges attract.
This process explains static electricity which is when the charges on a material are not in a balanced state.
Answer:
1.549 m
Explanation:
Given:
The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m
The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6
Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as
0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)
Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²
let the radius of the red area be R
thus, area of red circle, = πR²
on substituting the value of the area, we have
0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)
or
R² = 2.4
or
R = 1.549 m
Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m
Answer:
The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.
Explanation:
The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :
.......(1)
Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.
For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m
Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).
Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

E = 72 J
But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :
E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J
