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

Peter designed a road with a curve of radius 30 m that is banked so that a 950 kg car traveling at 40.0 km/h can round it even i
spayn [35]

Answer:

v = 15.56 m/s

v = 56 km/h

Explanation:

When coefficient of friction is approximately zero then we have

F_ncos\theta = mg

F_n sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

here we know that

v = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

R = 30 m

tan\theta = \frac{11.11^2}{30\times 9.81}

\theta = 22.75 degree

now when friction coefficient is 0.30 then we have

F_n cos\theta = mg + F_f sin\theta

F_f cos\theta + F_n sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we have

v = \sqrt{Rg(\frac{\mu + tan\theta}{1 - \mu tan\theta})}

v = \sqrt{30(9.81)(\frac{0.30 + tan22.75}{1 - (0.30) tan22.75})}

v = 15.56 m/s

v = 56 km/h

What three factors control the path of a surface current
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati
Murrr4er [49]
Electron configurations:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.
