An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate by first placing a large negative charge on himself and then putting a large positive

charge on the ceiling of his workshop. Instead, while attempting to place a large negative charge on himself, his clothes fly off. Explain.

Answer:

shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

In this case, when a negative charge is placed on it, both the inventor and the shirt are charged, therefore there is a repulsive force, also there is an attraction between the positive charge of the roof attracts the negative charge, such as the shirt. of weak the two forces not greater than the resistance of the walk.

As the shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away

Given that on Earth, gravity causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, what is an acceleration of 7 g?
zzz [600]

Answer:

68.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

so

7 g × 9.8m/s^2 = 68.6

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = 14.7cm^3   1cm^3=1ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

on aircraft carriers, catapults are used to accelerate jet air craft to flight speeds in a short distance. One such catapult tak
sineoko [7]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

The jet's change in speed = (70 m/s) - (zero) = 70 m/s

So acceleration = (70 m/s) / (2.5 s)

Acceleration = (70 / 2.5) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = 28 m/s²</em>  

That's about 2.9 G's .  Jet pilots can endure a lot more than that, but maybe the catapult or the hook on the airplane can't.  Let's look a little closer:

F = m A (Newton #2)

The force on the airplane = (18,000 kg) x (28 m/s²)

Force on the airplane = 504,000 Newtons

That's about 113,000 pounds !  Maybe the part of the airplane that the catapult pushes on can't handle any more force than that.  Or maybe that's the most force the catapult can deliver.

Also, the REACTION force on the catapult is the same 113,000 pounds.  Maybe the hooks or the chains or the struts on the catapult can't handle any more force than that.

That's almost 57 tons for gosh sakes !  Maybe the DECK of the carrier can't handle more force than that, and that's why they can't launch the airplane with acceleration of more than 2.9 G's .
