Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy?
adelina 88 [10]

Potential energy can be found using this formula:

PE= m * g * h

where:

PE= potential energy

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s^2)

h= height

So your answer is height because you also use the gravitational constant.

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.

PLEASE HELP.You hit a hockey puck across an empty hockey rink. At first the puck moves quickly, but then it slows and comes to a
saveliy_v [14]
Hi there!

Two possible answers are air resistance and friction.

Friction is caused by the rubbing of the surface of the ground and the surface of the object. Although ice doesn't have much friction, it can still cause friction.

Air resistance is caused by friction between the air and the object. As the object moves along a surface, it collides into many air particles; thus, it slows down.

Hope this helps.
Have an awesome day! :)

A diode for which the forward voltage drop is 0.7 V at 1.0 mA is operated at 0.5 V. What is the value of the current
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

the current value is 0.335 \mu A

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the current is given below:

z_i = I_s e^{\frac{0.7}{ut} }= 10^{-3}\\\\Z_z = I_s e^{\frac{0.5}{ut} }\\\\\frac{Z_z}{Z_i}= \frac{Z_z}{10^{-3}}  = e^{\frac{0.5\times 0.7}{0.025} }\\\\= 0.335 \mu A

Hence, the current value is 0.335 \mu A

If I turn on a light in a spaceship traveling 1C BACKWARDS, what happens to the photons? Speed -0-, or 1C in opposite direction?
Advocard [28]

If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.

When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.
 
It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.

The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.

Yes, I hear you.  That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.
