What happens when someone is walking across the carpeted room then touches a metal door knob

1 answer:

6 0

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.

6. If a vehicle needs 5s to complete 15m. Find the mean speed of it?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

3m/s

Explanation:

Time=5s

Distance =15m

Speed=distance/time

Putting the values

Speed=15m/5s

Speed=3m/s is the answer

You are working in a shoe test laboratory measuring the coefficients of friction for running shoes on a variety of surfaces. The

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Since the static frictional force is the maximum force applied just before sliding, our frictional force, F is 300 N.

Since F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = normal force = 400 N (which is the downward force applied against the surface).

So, μ = F/N

= 300 N/400 N

= 3/4

= 0.75

So, the coefficient of static friction μ = 0.75

What is the change all living things undergo as the grow

Vladimir [108]

All of the change that living things undergo as they grow is called development. That is the name when the changes are within a single unit and over a period of time as short as a lifetime. When the change occurs over thousands of years then it's called evolution.

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

$v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt$

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when t=T/2

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

$x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2
