Explanation:

Since the comb has a net charge, it attracts the paper, which has a net charge equal to zero. When the paper touches the comb, an electrical interaction is established between the charge of the comb and the neutral paper, because of this, the paper now has a net charge with the same sign of the comb and they repel.

Answer:

The tangential speed of the ball is 11.213 m/s

Explanation:

The radius is equal:

$r=2.3*sin70=2.161m$ (ball rotates in a circle)

If the system is in equilibrium, the tension is:

$Tcos70=mg\\Tsin70=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Replacing:

$\frac{mg}{cos70} sin70=\frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\Clearing-v:\\v=\sqrt{rgtan70}$

Replacing:

$v=\sqrt{2.161x^{2}*9.8*tan70 } =11.213m/s$

The recoil of a shotgun can be significant. Suppose a 3.6-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass

devlian [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the recoil is $v=1.001 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

$m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\m_{gun}= 15.0kg+3.6kg$

The mass of th gun is the both mass the shotgun and the arm shoulder combination

$m_{bullet}=0.049kg\\v_{bullet}=380\frac{m}{s} \\m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\0.049kg*380\frac{m}{s}=(15.kg+3.6kg)* v_{recoil}\\v_{recoil}=-\frac{18.62 kg \frac{m}{s} }{18.6 kg}\\ v_{recoil}=-1.0010 \frac{m}{s}$
