Answer: static electricity

Explanation:

When the plastic ruler is rubbed, friction opposes the motion and causes the transfer of electron from one surface to another such that plastic becomes negatively charged. When ruler is brought nearer to the paper, it induces the   positive charge in the piece of paper.

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell= \frac{2}{3} MR^2

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as v = r\omega

translational K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2

rotational K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

total kinetic energy will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2

K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4

Calculate the acceleration of a bus that goes
Svet_ta [14]

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity

The formula of the acceleration is a=\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{t} , where

  • v_{1} is the initial velocity
  • v_{2} is the final velocity
  • t is the time

A bus that goes  from 10 km/h to a speed of 50 km/h in 10 seconds

→ v_{1} = 10 km/h

→ v_{2} = 50 km/h

→ t = 10 seconds

Change the unite of the time from seconds to hour

→ 1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

→ 10 seconds = \frac{10}{3600}=\frac{1}{360} hour

Substitute these values in the formula of the acceleration above

→ a=\frac{50-10}{\frac{1}{360}}

→ a = 14400 km/h²

To change the unit of acceleration to meter per second change the

  kilometer to meter and the hour to seconds

→ 1 km = 1000 m

→ 1 hour = 3600 seconds

→ a=\frac{14400*1000}{(3600)^{2}}=\frac{10}{9}

→ a = 1.11 m/sec².

The acceleration of the bus is 1.11 meters per second square to the direction of motion

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi

An object of mass 25kg is falling from the height h=10 m. calculate
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=2500J,b=1000K,c=1000J,d=14.142m/s

Explanation:

V²=U²+2gh

V²=0 + 2×10×10=200m/s

a).kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²=(1/2)25×200=2500

potential energy=mgh

p.e=25×10×10=2500J

pe+ke=2500+2500=5KJ

b).mgh=25×10×4=1000J

c). V²=U²+2gh

V²=0+2×10×4

V²=80

kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

=(1/2)25×80

=1KJ

d). From my first paragraph V²=200

V=√200

V=14.142m/s
