A charged comb often attracts small bits of dry paper that then fly away when they touch the comb. Explain why that occurs.

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Interference is an example of which aspect of electromagnetic radiation
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

We experience interference while listening to the radio. A radio station works by sending and receiving radio waves. Since the radio waves are being interfered with other waves which must have a wave nature.

The interference is the net result of two individual waves. It can be constructive or destructive interference and is the property of waves and not particles.

This interference is an example of electromagnetic radiation. Thus we experience wave behavior of electromagnetic radiation in our daily communications.

Discuss how friction is reduced in oce skating
belka [17]

Answer:

below

Explanation:

Ice melts, meaning it has a watery layer upon its surface. This allows things to be moving like they are on a liquid but it has the solidity of a solid. The thin metal of the ice skates also decrease the surface area meaning it exerts more force but in turn, it allows you to move faster and further reduces friction.

A weightlifter presses a 200 N weight 0.5 m over his head in 2 s. What is the power of the weightlifter
icang [17]

Answer:

50 watts

Explanation:

Applying,

Power (P) = Workdone (W)/Time(t)

But,

Work done (W) = Force (F)×distance(d)

Therefore,

P = Fd/t..................... Equation 1

Where P =  power of the weightlifter, F = Force applied, d = distance, t = time.

From the question,

Given: F = 200 N, d = 0.5 m, t = 2 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (200×0.5)/2

P = 100/2

P = 50 watts

A proposed ocean thermal-energy conversion (OTEC) system is a heat engine that would operate between warm water (16°C) at the oc
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

3.46 %

Explanation:

We have given cooler temperature that is T_c = 6°C =273+6=279 K

And the warm temperature of water that is T_h=16^{\circ}C=16+273=289\ K

The maximum possible efficiency is given by \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

So maximum efficiency \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}=1-\frac{279}{289}=0.0346=3.46 %

A young parent is dragging a 65 kg (640 N) sled (this includes the mass of two kids) across some snow on flat ground, by means o
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

b) N = 560 N, c)  fr = 138.56 N, d)  μ = 0.247

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system

b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

              N + T_y -W = 0

              N = W -T_y

let's use trigonometry for tension

             sin θ = T_y / T

             cos θ = Tₓ / T

             T_y = T sin θ

             Tₓ = T cos θ

we substitute

              N = W - T sin 30

we calculate

              N = 640 - 160 sin 30

              N = 560 N

c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

X axis

              Tₓ - fr = 0

               Tₓ = fr

we substitute and calculate

              fr = 160 cos 30

              fr = 138.56 N

d) the friction force has the formula

             fr = μ N

             μ = fr / N

we calculate

             μ = 138.56 / 560

             μ = 0.247
