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 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

A square piece of tin has 12 inches on a side. An open box is formed by cutting out equal square pieces at the corners and bendi
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square Piece whose side is 12 inches

Now square pieces are cut from each corner to make it a open box

Suppose x is the length of square piece at each corner

then

base square has a length of 12-2x

Dimension of new box is (12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

Volume V=(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

V=\left ( 12-2x\right )^2\cdot x

For maximum volume differentiate with respect to x we get

\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\times \left ( 12-2x\right )\times \left ( -2\right )\cdot x+\left ( 12-2x\right )^2=0

we get x=6 and 4 but at x=6 volume becomes zero therefore x=4 is valid

V=\left ( 12-2\cdot 4\right )^2\cdot 4

V=4^3

V=64\ in.^3

1<br> A truck increases its speed from 15 m/s to 60 m/s in 15 s. Its acceleration is
MAVERICK [17]
Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2
