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 heat engine extracts 42. 53 kj from the hot reservior and exhausts 17. 69 kj into the cold reservior. what is the work done?

ludmilkaskok [199]

The answer is 24.84kJ.

We apply the expression for the work done by the heat engine is,

$W=E_{i n}-E_{o u t}$ . Putting all given values in the equation we get the final answer.

What is heat engine?

A heat engine is a machine that uses heat to generate power. It draws heat from a reservoir, uses that heat to produce work, such as move a piston or lift weights, and then releases that heat energy into the sink.
We are given:The heat input is $E_{i n}=42.53 \mathrm{~kJ}$ . The heat output is $E_{o u t}=17.69 \mathrm{~kJ}$ .
The expression for the work done by the heat engine is, $W=E_{i n}-E_{o u t}$
Substituting the given values in the above expression, we will get $W =42.53 \mathrm{~kJ}-17.69 \mathrm{~kJ}$ =24.84kJ.
Thus, the work done by the heat engine is 24.84kJ.

Study the scenario.

Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$

Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s$

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.
