Why does jake get shocked when he touches the top on the plastic slide but Jacob doesn’t get shocked when he touches the undersi

Answer: As you slide down the plastic slide, electrons move from the plastic to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch another person or an object (anything that isn't negatively charged by extra electrons) and ZAP!

technically, since no one is sliding down the other side of the slide there aren't any extra electrons being made, so you can't really get shocked.

A 0.473 kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 2.76 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.819 kg puck initially at rest. Assum

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Explanation:

Let us consider east as positive direction and west as negative direction .

Given

mass of puck 1 , $m_1= 0.473 kg$

mass of puck 2 , $m_2= 0.819 kg$

initial speed of puck 1 , $u_1=2.76\frac{m}{s}$

initial speed of puck 2 , $u_2=0.00\frac{m}{s}$

Final speed of puck 1 and puck 2 be $v_1\, and\, v_2$ respectively

Apply conservation of linear momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

=> $0.473\times 2.76+0.0=0.473\times v_1+0.819\times v_2$

=> $1.594=0.5775\times v_1+ v_2$ -----(A)

Since collision is perfectly elastic , coefficient restitution e=1

$u_2-u_1=v_1-v_2$

=> $0-2.76=v_1-v_2$ ------(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

$v_1=-0.739\frac{m}{s}$

and $v_2=2.02\frac{m}{s}$

Thus the final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Acrostic poem for cell theory. Especially theory

Sonja [21]

Answer:

In biology, cell theory is the historic scientific theory, now universally accepted, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.

Explanation:

The three tenets to the cell theory are as described below:

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

There is no universally accepted definition of life. Some biologists consider non-cellular entities such as viruses living organisms,[1] and thus reasonably disagree with the first tenet. Throughout this article, it will lead you through the history of cell theory, how the discovery of cells was made possible, what the cell theory has become today and background information and history regarding other opposing concepts of cell theory.

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately $28^{\circ}$ .
