Explanation:

When two materials come in contact with each other , there occurs the movement of electrons from one material to other , hence , there is an excess positive charge on one of the material , and hence lead to static electricity .

Examples -

brushing dry hairs via a plastic comb can generate static electricity .
Clothes stuck to one another in the dryer
Walking on the floor with carpet and touching a door can lead to a shock , due to static electricity .

Answer:

$Velocity=6.03m/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Time t=2.5 minutes=150 seconds

Distance A=1600 ft=487.68 m........east

Distance B=2500 ft=762m ........north

To find

Average velocity

Solution

First we need to find the resultant distance magnitude.To find that we apply Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse

$A^{2}+B^{2}=C^{2}\\ C=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}\\ C=\sqrt{(487.68m)^{2}+(762m)^{2}}\\ C=904.7m$

$Velocity=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Velocity=\frac{904.7m}{150s}\\Velocity=6.03m/s$

A4 kg bowling ball begins rolling down a at bowling alloy at 6 m/s . When it strikes the pins, it is estimated to be moving at 5

Paul [167]

Answer:

Energy lost due to friction is 22 J

Explanation:

Mass of the ball m = 4 kg

Initially velocity of ball v = 6 m/sec

So kinetic energy of the ball $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6^2=72J$

Now due to friction velocity decreases to 5 m/sec

Kinetic energy become

$KE=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5^2=50J$

Therefore energy lost due to friction = 72 -50 = 22 J

Cart a having a mass of 150 kg initially moving to the right at a speed of 8 m/s collides with cart b with a mass of 150 kg, ini

kakasveta [241]

The speed of cart b is 6m/s while the total momentum of the systmen is 4200 kg m/s

<h3>Conservation of Linear Momentum</h3>

Given Data

Mass of cart one M1 = 150kg

Initial Velocity U1 = 8m/s

Final VelocityV1 = 5 m/s

Mass of cart two M2 = 150kg

Velocity U2 = 6m/s

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum we have

M1U1+M2U2 = M1V1+ M2V2

a. what is the speed of cart b after collision

substituting our given data we have

150*8+ 150*6 = 150*5+150*V2

1200 + 900 = 1200+ 150V2

2100 - 1200 = 150V2

900 = 150V2

Divide both sides by 150

V2 = 900/150

V2 = 6m/s

b. what is the total momentum of the system before and after collision

Total Momentum in the system is

Total momentum = Momentum before Impact+ Momentum after Impact

Total momentum = M1U1+M2U2 + M1V1+ M2V2

Total momentum = 1200 + 900 + 1200+ 900

Total momentum = 4200 kg m/s

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr

valina [46]

The spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
$T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s$
Which means that the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz$
and the angular frequency is
$\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s$

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
$v_{max} = A \omega$
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
$v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s$
