Explanation:

Water in the air (humidity) helps to dissipate static charge that builds up. If the air is very dry, the charge can't dissipate, so it builds up until there is enough to spark.

Tropical countries are typically more humid than the United States, but I guess that depends on where you are in the US.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s

L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt

L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s

Moment if inertia is

I = 2ml^2

I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2

Angular speed

ω = L/I

= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s

Ket [755]

The total electric potential at the center of the square due to the four charges is V  = √2Q/πÈa.

<h3>What do you mean by electric potential? </h3>

The amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field. It's SI unit is volt.       

V = kq/r

Where V represents electric potential, K is coulomb constant, q  is Charge and r is distance between any  two around charge to the point charge.

Electric potential at O due to four charges is given by,

V = 4KQ/ r

where, r = √2a/2 = a/√2

V = 4k × Q√2/a

V  = √2Q/πÈa

The total electric potential at the center of the square due to the four charges is V  = √2Q/πÈa.

A 2.3 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 40 m/s and vy = 75 m/s as it passes through the poi
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) \overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) \overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}

Explanation:

mass, m = 2.3 kg

vx = 40 m/s

vy = 75 m/s

(a) Angular momentum is given by

\overrightarrow{L}=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{p}

Where, p is the linear momentum and r is the position vector about which the angular momentum is calculated.

Here, \overrightarrow{r}=3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{p}=2.3\left ( 40\widehat{i}+75\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{p}= 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j}

So, the angular momentum

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) Here, \overrightarrow{r}=(3+2)\widehat{i}+(-4+2)\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{r}=5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}
