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.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. complete the sentence to describe the distance and ruler postulates. between

Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 $\frac{m}{sec}$

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion $V^{2}$ = $u^{2}$ - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = $0.8^{2}$ - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 $\frac{m}{sec^{2} }$

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.

a train is moving with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, the brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Time \ in \ which \ train \ will \ come \ to \ rest = 20 \ sec}$

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Final speed (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = - 1.5 m/,s²

To Find:

Time in which train will come to rest (t).

Explanation:

$\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion: \\ \sf \implies \bold{v = u + at} \\ \\ \sf Substituting \ value \ of \ v, \ u \ and \ a: \\ \sf \implies 0 = 30 + ( - 1.5)(t) \\ \sf \implies 0 = 30 - 1.5(t) \\ \sf \implies 30 - 1.5(t) = 0 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 30 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (30 - \boxed{ \sf 30}) - 1.5(t) = \boxed{ \sf - 30} \\ \\ \sf 30 - 30 = 0 : \\ \sf \implies - 1.5(t) = - 30 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: - 1.5(t) = - 30 \: by \: - 1.5 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{ - 1.5(t)}{ \boxed{ \sf - 1.5}} = \frac{ - 30}{ \boxed{ \sf -1.5 }} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ \cancel{ \sf 1.5}}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}} = 1 : \\ \sf \implies t = \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5} = \frac{\cancel{ \sf 1.5} \times 20}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}} = 20 : \\ \sf \implies t = 20 \: sec$

So,

Time in which train will come to rest = 20 seconds
