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

Which type of mass movement happens very slowly?
diamong [38]

The type of mass movement that happens very slowly is Creep.


Explanation:

Mass movement, usually known as mass wasting, is that the descent movement of a mass of surface materials, like soil, rock or mud. This mass movement generally happens on hillsides and mountains because of the influence of gravity and may happen terribly slowly or terribly quickly.

the filament of an electric lamp, which draws a current of 0.5 a is used for 2 hours. calculate the amount of charge flowing thr
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

I = 0.25  AND  T= 4 HOURS, Q = ??  

 multiply  both min  and sec , 240 and 60

we get 1400 sec  

the formula for current is   I = Q/T

substitute the given data in the formula  and simplify it

so , Q = 3600C

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1) A

2) C

3) B

4) A

5) Incomplete information(picture missing)

6) Incomplete information(picture missing)

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = 10ms^{-2}, F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = 4ms^{-1}, r = 4m, F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

\frac{3*4^{2} }{4} = 12N

3) a = 10ms^{-2}, r = 10m, v=?

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

\frac{v^{2} }{r} = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = \sqrt{ar}

= \sqrt{100}

= 10ms^{-1}

4) r = 10m, v = 5ms^{-1}, a = ?

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

a = 25/10 = 2.5ms^{-2}

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = v^{2}

Now, if v is tripled

F = (3v)^{2}

F = 9v^{2}

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = v^{2}

Now, if v is doubled

F = (2v)^{2}

F = 4v^{2}

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was
