The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

Many Amtrak trains can travel at a top speed of 42.0 m/s. Assuming a train maintains that speed for several hours, how many kilo

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

605 km

Explanation:

Hello

the same units of measure should be used, then

Step 1

convert 42 m/s ⇒ km/h

1 km =1000 m

1 h = 36000 sec

$42 \frac{m}{s}*\frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}=0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\ 0.042\ \frac{km}{s}\\$

$0.042\ \frac{km}{s}*\frac{3600\ s}{1\ h} =151.2 \frac{km}{h}\\ \\Velocity =151.2\ \frac{km}{h}$

Step 2

find kilometers traveled after 4 hours

$V=\frac{s}{t}\\ \\$

V,velocity

s, distance traveled

t. time

now, isolating s

$V=\frac{s}{t} \\s=V * t\\$

and replacing

$s=V * t\\s=151.2\frac{km}{h}*4 hours\\ s=604.8 km\\$

S=604.8 Km

Have a great day

What is the kinetic energy of a 150 gram object moving at a velocity of 100 m/s?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

lets convert mass into kg first , 150 /1000 = 0.15 kg

kinetic energy = $\frac{mv^{2} }{2}$ = $\frac{0.15*100^{2} }{2} = 750 J$

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

$W= F*s$

Therefore,

$P=\frac{F*s}{t}$

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time

$F = 124 N,s = 32.0 m,t = 8.0 s$

$P =\frac{W*s}{t} =\frac{124N*22.0s}{8.0s} =496 W$

Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) $4.2*10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

$F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$
