Why does the static electricity in an object not constantly shock us?

Physics
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is  I = 618 W/m^2  

Part B

The intensity is  I_1= 81.884 W/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The intensity of the light detected by first eye is I = 700 W/m^2

Now at initial state according the question the light  ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

This  is mathematically evaluated  as

                   I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)

                    I = 700\  cos^2 (20)

                    I = 618 W/m^2  

Now the second  question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye  in this case is the one that is not  focused on  the light  )would detect when the head is rotated by 20°  its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

           So

               I_1 = 700 \  cos^2 (70)

                   I_1= 81.884 W/m^2

Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm

For a mass oscillating on a spring at what positions are (a) velocity and (b) acceleration of the mass have maximum valeus?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions

Explanation:

Given that mass is having oscillation motion.

We know that

1. At the mean position -The velocity of the mass is maximum and the acceleration of the mass is minimum.The net force on the mass will be zero.

2. At the extreme position-The velocity of the mass is minimum and the acceleration of the mass is maximum.The net force on the mass will not be zero.

Therefore

a)At the mean position

b)At the extremes positions
