HELP!!! What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.

Two uniform solid cylinders, each rotating about its central (longitudinal) axis, have the same mass of 2.88 kg and rotate with
Tanya [424]

Answer:

(a) K_{small}=4839.3J

(b) K_{larger}=17406.4J

Explanation:

Given data

The angular velocity of two cylinders ω=257 rad/s

The mass of the two cylinders m=2.88 kg

The radius of small cylinder r₁=0.319 m

The radius of larger cylinder r₂=0.605 m

For Part (a)

The rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}Iw^2

Where I is rotational of inertia of solid cylinder about its central axis.

So

K=\frac{1}{2}Iw^2\\ K=\frac{1}{2}(1/2mr^2)w^2

Substitute the given values

So

K_{small}=\frac{1}{4}(2.88kg)(0.319)^2(257rad/s)^2 \\K_{small}=4839.3J

For Part (b)

K=\frac{1}{2}Iw^2\\ K=\frac{1}{2}(1/2mr_{2}^2)w^2

Substitute the given values

K_{larger}=\frac{1}{4}mr_{2}^2w^2\\ K_{larger}=\frac{1}{4}(2.88kg)(0.605m)^2(257rad/s)^2\\ K_{larger}=17406.4J

The parallel axis theorem relates Icm, the moment of inertia of an object about an axis passing through its center of mass, to I
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}

Part b)

I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}

Explanation:

As we know that by parallel axis theorem we will have

I_p = I_{cm} + Md^2

Part a)

here we know that for a stick the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

I = \frac{mL^2}{12}

now if we need to find the inertia from its end then we will have

I_{end} = I_{cm} + Md^2

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{12} + m(\frac{L}{2})^2

I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}

Part b)

here we know that for a cube the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

I = \frac{ma^2}{6}

now if we need to find the inertia about an axis passing through its edge

I_{edge} = I_{cm} + Md^2

I_{edge} = \frac{ma^2}{6} + m(\frac{a}{\sqrt2})^2

I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}

Using the strap at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal, a Grade 12 Physics student, tired from studying, is dragging his 15.0
lora16 [44]

Answer:

<h2>154.73N</h2>

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Using the strap at an angle of 31° above the horizontal, a Grade 12 Physics student, tired from studying, is dragging his 15 kg school bag across the floor at a constant velocity. (a) If the force of tension in the strap is 51 N, what is the normal force.

Check the diagram related to the question in the attachment below for better understanding.

The normal force is the reaction acting perpendicular to the force of tension in the strap and opposite the weight of the bag. They are the forces acting along the vertical.

The normal force N will be the sum of the force of tension acting along the vertical (Ty) and the weight of the bag (W).

Ty = 15sin31°

Ty = 7.73N

W = mass * acceleration due to gravity

W = 15.0*9.8

W = 147N

The normal force is therefore expressed as;

N = Ty + W

N = 7.73 + 147

N = 154.73N

Light of wavelength 623.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 76.5 cm from the slit.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 623 x 10⁻⁹ m .

Distance of screen D = 76.5 x 10⁻² m

width of slit        =      d

Distance on the screen between the second order minimum and the central maximum       =  2  λ D / d

1.11 x 10⁻²  = (2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻² )/ d

d =  ( 2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻²) / 1.11 x 10⁻²

= 85872.97 x  10⁻⁹

=  85.87297 x  10⁻⁶

= 85.87 μm

width a of the slit is = 85.87 μm
