A plastic rod rubbed with a duster attracts bits of paper becauseof a what force

1 answer:

5 0

Its because of the static electricity.As we rub, the positive and negative charges are acquired by the plastic rod and duster.
If we bring paper bits near them, the charges possessed by the paper bits get attracted towards the charges in plastic rod.

A car is initially moving at 10.5 m/s and accelerates uniformly to reach a speed of 21.7 m/s in 4.34 s. How far did the car move

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

A. 69.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10.5m/s

Final velocity = 21.7m/s

Time = 4.34s

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the acceleration of the car;

Acceleration = $\frac{v - u}{t}$

v is final velocity

u is initial velocity

t is the time

Acceleration = $\frac{21.7 - 10.5}{4.34}$ = 2.58m/s²

Distance traveled;

V² = U² + 2aS

21.7² = 10.5² + 2 x 2.58 x S

360.64 = 2 x 2.58 x S

S = 69.9m

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

44.64 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 4.2\times 1180+80.6^2}\\\Rightarrow v=128.01\ m/s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 128.01=80.6+4.2t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01-80.6}{4.2}=11.29\ s$

Time taken to reach 1180 m is 11.29 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=128.01-9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01}{9.8}=13.06\ s$

Time the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 13.06 seconds.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-128.01^2}{2\times -9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=836.05\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 836.05 m

Total distance traveled by the rocket in the upward direction is 1180+836.05 = 2016.05 m

The rocket will fall from this height

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2016.05=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2016.05\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=20.29\ s$

Time taken by the rocket to fall from maximum height is 20.29 seconds

Time the rocket will stay in the air is 11.29+13.06+20.29 = 44.64 seconds

Can the velocity of a body revese the direction when acceleration is constant?

TEA [102]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.
