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.

While at a party, you pull up a sound intensity level app on your phone (everyone does stuff like that, right?), and it reads 83
allochka39001 [22]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel and mathematically this is expressed as

\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_0}

Where,

\beta_{dB}= Sound intensity level in decibels

I = Acoustic intensity on the linear scale

I_0 = Hearing threshold

According to the values, the total intensity is 32 times the linear intensity and the value in decibels is 83dB

So:

10log_{10}(\frac{32I}{I_0}) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})+10log(32) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 83-10log(32)

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 67.948dB

Therefore the sound intensity due to one person is 67.948dB

What role does gravity play in the weight of an object?
earnstyle [38]
In physics, weight is a measure of the force exerted by gravity on a mass.

You probably know that you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. For instance, if you weigh 100. pounds on Earth, you will weigh 16.6 pounds on the Moon. But, if your mass on Earth is 100 kg, your mass on the Moon is... also 100 kg. Because the amount of matter you have does not change from the Earth to the Moon, but the gravitational force on the Earth is stronger than on the Moon, so you weigh more on Earth.

You can think of gravity pulling a mass toward the center of an object like the Earth. It pulls a lot harder for more massive objects like the Earth than for the Moon. That's why there's a difference in weight.

As a caveat, adding energy or mass to an object will affect its mass. Additionally, general relativity informs us that when something as traveling very near the speed of light, the whole idea of mass equivalency is not exactly true...

Leni [432]
Yes because something that has been electrically charged can make other things move without touching them ( this is called force without contact)
