Answer:

C. it will not change.

Explanation:

While combing, the rubbing of the comb with the hair, transfer of electron takes place from the hair to the comb and the comb becomes negatively charged. But, this transfer of electron does not make any considerable change in the mass of the hair. This is because the mass of an electron is highly negligible. Now, neglecting the mass of an electron, the transfer of the electrons from the hair to the comb makes charging of the comb, but no loss of mass in the hair. So, the mass of hair will no change.

The conservation of energy principle applies to a. all systems. b. open systems. c. closed systems. d. Ideal gas systems.
Ainat [17]

Answer:closed systems

Explanation:

A closed system is one in which matter does not enter or leave the system but there is exchange of energy between the system and its environment. In a closed system, the principle of energy conservation applies. The principle of energy conservation states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another. An example of a closed system is a reaction vessel whose lid is closed.

Pascal's Principle states that (a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.

P=F/A

P1=P2

F1/ A1= F2/ A2

F2= F1* A2/ A1

The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.

In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.

An airplanes lands with a velocity of +75 m/s and comes to a stop in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration of the airplane while
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,  

The initial velocity of the airplane, u = 75 m/s

The final velocity of the plane, v = 0 m/s

The time period of motion, t = 20 s

Using the I equations of motion

                    v = u + at

                     a = (v - u) / t

                        = (0 - 75) / 20

                        = -3.75 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that the plane is decelerating

Hence, the acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²
