How can an object become charged

Physics

Answer:

An object becomes charged when it loses or gains electrons.

Explanation:

There are three ways to charge an object:

1)friction,

2)conduction

3)induction.

1) Friction involves rubbing on material with another, resulting in electrons moving from one surface to another.

2)Conduction on the other hand is used to charge things that are good conductors, such a metal.

3)The final way to charge an object is by induction and is, again, best for conductive materials.

Answer:

An object gets charged when it's atoms lose or gain an electron to become an ion. For example: ... This means that the fur loses it's electrons to the plastic rod and both objects are now charged. The fur is positively charged because it lost electrons and the rod is negatively charged because it gained electrons

A coin completes 18 spins in 12 seconds. The centripetal acceleration of the edge of the coin is 2.2 m/s2. The radius of the coi
stellarik [79]

Answer:

2.5 cm

Explanation:

Number of spins in 12 seconds = 18

Number of spins in 1 second = 18 / 12 = 1.5

Number of spins in one second is called frequency.

f = 1.5 rps

ac = 2.2 m/s^2

Let r be the radius of coin

Centripetal acceleration, ac = r x w^2

2.2 = r x ( 2 x 3.14 x 1.5) ^2

2.2 = r x 88.7364

r = 0.025 m = 2.5 cm

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.

A motor with a brush-and-commutator arrangement has a circular coil with radius 2.5cm and 150 turns of wire. The magnetic field
Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.81 V

(b) 0.52 V

Explanation:

Number of turns, N = 150

Radius, r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.060 T

f = 440 rev/min = 440 / 60 = 7.33 rps

A.

The maximum emf is given by

e = N x B x A x 2 x π x f

e = 150 x 0.060 x 3.14 x 0.025 x 0.025 x 2 x 3.14 x 7.33

e = 0.81 V

B.

The back emf is given by

e' = 2e / π = 2 x 0.81 / 3.14 = 0.52 V

1.Why is it important to accurately predict possible formation and path of a hurricane?
stellarik [79]

1. By predicting the path of hurricanes, it is possible to warn people in its prospective path in advance. This way lives can be saved. In addition economic cost. associated with its destruction, can be minimized by bracing in advance for the storm along its path.


2. When the sea temperatures increase, there is increased vaporization of water into the atmosphere. This causes a transfer of heat into the atmosphere from the hydrosphere. This causes a drop of pressure in the local region that is one ingredient  associated with the beginning of a hurricane.


3. The more the humidity, it means the more the heat transfer to the atmosphere through condensation. This reduces the pressure proportionally with the amount of humidity. This low pressure is an ingredient for hurricanes. In addition, the higher the humidity the larger the clouds and the larger the thunderstorms and precipitation associated with the hurricane


4. Winds drive hurricanes and determines their vicious force. In the formation of the hurricane, low winds are required to allow the formation of the funnel at the front betwen the cold and warm air masses. Winds blowing in congruence with the hurricane after then make it stronger while those that blow against it weaken it.


5. The answer is; YES, I would expect a hurricane. This is because at 12 0 N and 45 0 W are the open oceans of the Pacific. The average sea temperaturs in summer is between 15 0 and 20 0. At 27.5 0, this increases the humidity at the local region and therefore the tranfer of heat to the atmsphere. The light breeze gives the stability required for the air convection currents to occur forming a funnel front between the air masses.
