When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.
Answer:
As we are converting 220V AC into a 5V DC, first we need a step-down transformer to reduce such high voltage. Here we have used 9-0-9 1A step-down transformer, which convert 220V AC to 9V AC. In transformer there are primary and secondary coils which step up or step down the voltage according to the no of turn in the coils.
Selection of proper transformer is very important. Current rating depends upon the Current requirement of Load circuit (circuit which will use the generate DC). The voltage rating should be more than the required voltage. Means if we need 5V DC, transformer should at least have a rating of 7V, because voltage regulator IC 7805 at least need 2V more i.e. 7V to provide a 5V voltage.
Answer:
a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.
b) Average power
P(w)= 1062.07 [w]
P(hp)=1.42 [hp]
c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.
Explanation:
First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)
Work:

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )
![W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%3D%20F%2Ad%3D%20m%2Ag%2Ad%3D85%2A%209.8%2A12.75%3D10620.75%20%5BJ%5D)
Converting from Joules to Kcals:

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)
2.537 ---> 20%
x ---> 100%

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.
Now,
1 g --> 9 Kcals
1000 g --> 9000KCals
Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.
********************
For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)
![Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Power%3D%5Cfrac%7BJoules%7D%7BSeconds%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B53103.75%7D%7B50%7D%20%3D1062.075%20%5BW%5D%5C%5C)
![P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28hp%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BP%28w%29%7D%7B745.7%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1062.075%7D%7B745.7%7D%20%3D1.42%5Bhp%5D)
