4 0

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.

Alex

Answer:

B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

Explanation:

Given data

d_{wires}=2.2mm=0.022m\\ I_{current}=32A\\

To find

Magnitude of the net magnetic field B

Solution

The magnitude of the net magnetic field can be find as:

B=2*u\frac{I}{2\pi r}\\ B=2*(4\pi*10^{-7}  )\frac{32}{2\pi (0.022/2)} \\ B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

The 8 kg block is then released and accelerates to the right, toward the 2 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of
natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Answer:

28.025 Nm

Explanation:

Angular acceleration, α = 29.5 rad/s^2

oment of inertia, I = 0.95 kg m^2

The torque is defined as

τ = I x α

τ = 0.95 x 29.5

τ = 28.025 Nm

Thus, the torque is 28.025 Nm.

When an object like a tree is illuminated by the sun, and you are looking toward the tree, light rays leave the object _________
Dima020 [189]

Objects absorb and reflect light differently depending on their physical characteristics, such as their shape or composition. Thanks to the reflection we can see the objects. Reflection can be defined as the change of direction of a wave, which, when in contact with the separation surface between two changing means, returns to the point where it originated. When the light illuminates the object, such as the tree, the rays of light will disperse in all directions allowing observation.

The correct answer is A. From every point on the surface of the tree, and in every direction
