a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground because of gravitational attraction force of earth.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding.

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm = $15 \times 10^{-15}$ m

we use here energy conservation

$K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}$

there will be some initial kinetic energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

$K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}$

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

$KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$KE_{i} = 35.33$ J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2 e

and gains kinetic energy K =e∆V ..........(ii)

by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the ${238}_U$ nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V = 35.33 Me V

$\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2} MV\\\Delta V = 1.8 \times 10^7 V$

A team of seven psychologist is study love, but each psychologist is working from a different perspective. In your opinion, what

stepladder [879]

Answer:

- Behavioral Psychologists

- Psychodynamic Psychologist

- Biological Psychologist

- Cognitive Psychologist

- Evolutionary Psychologist

- Socio - Cultural Psychologist

- Humanist Psychologist

Explained in explanation section

Explanation:

There are different classes of psychologists but for the purpose of this question we need just 7 that would fit into the study of love. These 7 will be;

1) A behavioral Psychologist might study behaviors associated with love, such as hugging, caressing or kissing.

2) A psychodynamic psychologist might study how a people's challenges with love are caused by unmindful and unresolved conflicts.

3) A biological psychologist might study which chemicals in the brain such as dopamine make people feel loved. He might also study parts of the what parts of the brain are active when people are in love.

4) A cognitive psychologist might study how people's cognitive processes will change when they are in love.

5) An evolutionary psychologist might study how certain actions or behaviors associated with love provided our forefathers with sufficient knowledge to handle their love problems.

6) A sociocultural psychologist might study how people express love in in various cultures across the world.

7) A humanistic psychologist might study the behavior of those who feel most loved and the impact it has in their lives
