If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.

Which components of static electricity does a photocopier use?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

For a photocopier to work, a field of positive charges must be generated on the surface of both the drum and the copy paper. These tasks are accomplished by the corona wires. These wires are subjected to a high voltage, which they subsequently transfer to the drum and paper in the form of static electricity.

A model air rocket with a mass of 50.g is free to travel along a horizontal track. It begins from rest. After 2.0s, the rocket h

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of rocket, $m_r=50\ g$

time of observation, $t=2\ s$

mass lost by the rocket by expulsion of air, $m_a=10\%\ of m_r=5\ g$

velocity of air, $v_a=53\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Now the momentum of air will be equal to the momentum of rocket in the opposite direction: </u>(Using the theory of elastic collision)

$m_a.v_a=(m_r-m_a)\times v_r$

$5\times 53=(50-5)\times v_r$

$v_r=5.89\ m.s^{-1}$

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>In order to maintain speed, a moving object or person must move at a constant velocity</u>. Accelerating will increase the speed while decelerating will reduce the speed.

Hence, for Bolt to be able to maintain the top speed for a few seconds, he needs to move at a constant velocity.

The correct option is a.
