Why will you sometimes get a shock after walking across a carpet and touching a metal object, such as a door knob?

Hello Jrs19, static electricity enters your body if you slide your feet on a carpet. This electricity is then released into the metal door knob. Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

The reason you get shocked is because of static electricity. As you shuffle along a carpet ( especially with cotton socks on ), you start building up an electrical current. You conducted an electrical current, and then when you went to touch the metal you transferred the elecricity you built up, to that metal object.

A wheel rolls purely on ground. If the velocity of a point 'P as shown on periphery of a body has a velocity equal
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

(1) 120°

Explanation:

The wheel is purely rolling, which means it rotates about an axis through the point where it touches the ground (see Figure 11-6).

The net velocity at point P on the periphery, relative to the bottom of the wheel, is:

v = ωr

where r is the distance from the point at the bottom of the wheel to P (see diagram).

To find r, we need to use some geometry.  From Inscribed Angle Theorem, we know the inscribed angle is half the arc angle.  And from Thales' Theorem, we know an angle inscribed across a diameter is a right angle.

Therefore:

cos (θ/2) = r / (2R)

r = 2R cos (θ/2)

So the net velocity at P is:

v = 2Rω cos (θ/2)

We want this to equal the velocity at the center of the circle, which is Rω.

Rω = 2Rω cos (θ/2)

1 = 2 cos (θ/2)

cos (θ/2) = 1/2

θ/2 = 60°

θ = 120°

If the amount of work done on a book was 10 J and the force required to move the book was 2.5 N, what was the distance the book
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:4meters

Work=10J

Force=2.5N

Distance=work ➗ force

Distance=10 ➗ 2.5

I need help on (a)<br> I don't know what equation to use?
Alchen [17]

Impulse = (force) x (length of time the force lasts)

I see where you doodled  (60)(40)  over on the side, and you'll be delighted
to know that you're on the right track !

Here's the mind-blower, which I'll bet you never thought of:
On a force-time graph, impulse (also change in momentum)
is just  the <em>area that's added under the graph during some time</em> !

From zero to 60, the impulse is just the area of that right triangle
under the graph.  The base of the triangle is  60 seconds.  The
height of the triangle is  40N .  The area of the triangle is not
the whole (base x height), but only <em><u>1/2 </u></em>(base x height).

  1/2 (base x height) = 1/2 (60s x 40N) = <u>1,200 newton-seconds</u>

<u>That's</u> the impulse during the first 60 seconds.  It's also the change in
the car's momentum during the first 60 seconds. 

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

If the car wasn't moving at all when the graph began, then its momentum is  1,200 newton-sec after 60 seconds.  Through the convenience of the SI system of units, 1,200 newton-sec is exactly the same thing as 1,200 kg-m/s .  The car's mass is 3 kg, so after 60 sec, you can write

    Momentum = M x V = (3 kg) x (speed) = 1,200 kg-m/s

and the car's speed falls right out of that. 

From 60to 120 sec, the change in momentum is the added area of that
extra right triangle on top ... it's 60sec wide and only 20N high.  Calculate
its area, that's the additional impulse in the 2nd minute,  which is also the
increase in momentum, and that'll give you the change in speed.
