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.

How many cubic objects of volume 2cm cube can be started in a room of dimension 2m by 3m by 4m​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

12,000,000 boxes

Explanation:

the volume of the room can be found by using the equation for volume of a rectangular box:V=LxWxH

where:

L=2m

W=3m

H=4m

(it doesn't really matter which is which since it is multiplication)

when we multiply our values (2m*3m*4m) we get 24cubic meters

now we need to convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters

each cubic meter is 1,000,000 cubic centimeter we multiply 24 by 1,000,000 and we get: 24,000,000 cubic centimeters (cc)

dividing 24,000,000 by 2 (since each box is 2cc) we get 12,000,000

so, we know we can fit 12,000,000, 2 cubic centimeter boxes in this room

Particle A has very little mass in comparison to Particle B. Both particles are in the same atom. Which is the best conclusion a
ollegr [7]
Particle-A is an electron, racing around in a cloud that's far from the nucleus.

Particle-B is either a proton or a neutron, in the nucleus.

The big clue is where you said that particle-A has very little mass
compared to particle-B.  Protons and neutrons have almost identical
masses, but it's the same mass as more than 1,800 electrons !

Help me with this problem please? c:
deff fn [24]
30*3*60=5400
300*2=600
1500*3=4500
200*10*60=120000

the computer uses more energy. 
(you can multiply all results by 60 to get the energy in J, but it's not necessary for the comparison)
