A friend says that the reason one's hair stands out while touching a charged Van de Graaff generator is simply that the hair str

ands become charged and are light enough so that the repulsion between strands is visible. Do you agree or disagree

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I agree with the statement .

When a person who is perfectly insulated from the earth , touches a Van de Graaff , his body acquires charge . when the hair acquires it, it stands out due to mutual repulsion . It is to be noted here that at pointed areas on a surface , there is larger accumulation of charge. Accumulation of charge is greater at hair tops .

It is also a general observation that when a bird sits on high tension wire , his feather stands out due to the same reason.

A supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s
disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum  P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

        Mass = 21000 kg

        Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

      P = mv

      P = 21000×400

    P = 8400000 kgm/s

       P = 8.4 × 10^6

Write whether true or false...
elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.

A hawk leaves its nest in Fort Worth and travels 3,000 meters east. After snacking on a tasty rodent the hawk flies another 1,50

I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
