Answer:

I hope this will help you

Explanation:

When two neutral objects come into contact--especially in a dry environment--electrons can be knocked loose from one object and picked up by the other. The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electrons becomes positively charged. Objects with like charges repel each other, while those with opposite charges attract each other. This phenomenon--in which objects acquire an electric charge and exert a force on one another--is what we call static electricity.

What is the resultant displacement of the two vectors below

NeX [460]

Answer:

The resultant displacement is 5.8 cm, 31° South of the West axis ⇒ 4th

answer

Explanation:

A resultant vector is the combination of two or more single vectors

If the two vectors are perpendicular, then

The magnitude of the resultant vector = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ ,where

x represents the horizontal vector and y represents the vertical vector

The direction of the resultant vector is $tan^{-1}\alpha$ , where α

is the angle between the horizontal vector and the resultant vector

Vector 1 is 5 cm due to West-axis

Vector 2 is 3 cm due to South-axis

We need to find the resultant displacement of them

The West and South are perpendicular

The West is the horizontal vector and South is the vertical vector

The magnitude of the resultant displacement s is:

$s=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$s=\sqrt{25+9}$

$s=\sqrt{34}=5.8$

The direction of the resultant displacement s is:

$tan^{-1}\frac{3}{5}=31$ ° south of the west (between the west and

the resultant displacement)

The resultant displacement is 5.8 cm, 31° South of the West axis

4. An object is thrown from from the ground upward with an initial speed of 3.75 m/s. How long will the object be in the air bef

Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

There's an easy way to answer this and then an easier way. I'll do both since I'm not sure what you're doing this for: physics or calculus. Calculus is the easier way, btw.

Going with the physics version first, here's what we know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v₀ = 3.75 m/s

t = ??

That's not a whole lot...at least not enough to directly solve the problem. What we have to remember here is that at the max height of a parabolic path, the final velocity is 0. So we can add that to our info:

v = 0 m/s. Use the one-dimensional equation that utilizes all that info and allows us to solve for time:

v = v₀ +at and filling in:

0 = 3.75 + (-9.8)t and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = .38 seconds. This is how long it takes to get to its max height. Another thing we need to remember (which is why calculus is so much easier!) is that at the halfway point of a parabolic path (the max height), the object has traveled half the time it takes to make the whole trip. In other words, if .38 is how long it takes to go halfway, then 2(.38) is how long the whole trip takes:

2(.38) = .76 seconds. Now onto the calculus way:

The position function is

$s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.75t$ The first derivative of this is the velocity function and, knowing that when the velocity is 0, the time is halfway gone, we will find the velocity function and then set it equal to 0 and solve for t:

v(t) = -9.8t + 3.75 and

0 = -9.8t + 3.75 and

-3.75 = -9.8t so

t = ,38 and multiply that by 2 to find the time the whole trip took:

2(.38) = .76 seconds.

Eva is in a closed, dark room. She uses her arm muscles to turn on a lamp. When she moves her hand closer to the lamp, the light

12345 [234]

Well, we know that the total energy in a closed system remains constant.

The problem with the story of Eva is that she is not in a closed system.
If the dark room were really a closed system, then she could press the
button or turn the switch all day, and the lamp could not light. It needs
electrical energy coming in from somewhere in order to turn on.

Let's say that Eva used her arm muscles to strike a match and light the
candle on the table. Then we would have have food energy, muscle
energy, chemical energy in the match, chemical energy in the candle,
heat and light energy coming out of the candle, heat energy soaking into
her hand, light energy bouncing off of the book and into her eyes ... all
going on during the story, and the sum total of all of them would remain
constant.
