Answer:

-3m+7m =  4m

Explanation:

As he walks south, he is going down 3m (-3m). Then he walks up 7m (+7m).

You subtract the final position from the initial position to get displacement.

7m - 3m = 4m

Explain the process of why the balloon is attracted to the wall, and why electrons are not transferred in this process. Is the w
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The process by which the balloon is attracted and possibly sticks to the wall is known as static electricity which is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges which are not free to move.

The wall is an insulator.

Explanation:

When a balloon is blown and tied off, and then the balloon is rubbed on the woolly object once in one direction, and the side that was rubbed against the wool is brought near a wall and then released, it is observed that the balloon is attracted to and sticks to the wall. The above observation is due to static electricity.

Static electricity refers to electric charges that are not free to move or that are static. One of the means of generating such charges is by friction. When the balloon is rubbed on the woollen material, electrons are given away to the balloon's surface. Since the balloon is an insulator (materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them easily), the electrons are not free to move. When the balloon is brought near to a wall, there is a rearrangement of the charges present on the wall. Negative charges on the wall move farther away while the positive charges on the wall are attracted to the electrons on the balloon's surface. Because the wall is also an insulator, the charges are not discharged immediately. Therefore, this attraction between opposite charges as well as the static nature of the charges results in the balloon sticking to the wall.

What is the entropy of isolated system?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system

Explanation:

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.

In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.  

However, in the case of an isolated system in an <u>irreversible process</u>, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a <u>reversible process</u> the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.

1)Calculate the mass of a girl that has a weight of 113 Newtons.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:We should know that weight = mass * gravity.

That is weight equals mass times gravity.

Gravity is a force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. It is directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Gravity is generally measured in terms of acceleration due to gravity, denoted as g. For Earth it is, 9.8 m/s². And for moon, it is about 1.62 m/s².

On Earth, your weight is 70 kg = W

W = mass x 9.8

70 = mass x 9.8

Your mass is 70/ 9.8

i.e approximately 7.14

Weight at the Moon, W' = 7.14 x 1.62

Hence, your weight on the surface of the moon is just 11.56 kg.

Congratulations, you've lost about 58.14 kilograms without any hard exercise. And you're as light as a Sweedish Vallhund! Cheers!
