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

Physics

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.

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Energy

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through matter and space.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a form of disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through matter and space.

The energy of wave depends on the frequency of the wave and the wavelength (lambda) of that particular wave.

Mathematically,

V = f × lambda

The concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in a river just downstream of a wastewater treatment plant’s effluent pipe
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L

Explanation:

Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀

Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C

dC/dt = - KC

∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt

Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t

In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)

At t = 0, C = C₀

In 1 = 0 + b

b = 0

In (C/C₀) = - kt

(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

C₀ = 75 mg/L

k = 0.05 /day

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day

We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream

Velocity = (displacement/time)

15 = 50/t

t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days

So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167

C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷

C = 63.5 mg/L
