When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.

1 answer:

8 0

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

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.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In absence of friction, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
This means that the change in gravitational potential energy (in magnitude) must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

$\Delta K = \Delta U \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = m*g*h$

As it can be seen, the mass m is on the both sides of the equation, which means that it can be simplified.
We can solve this equation for v (speed at the bottom) as follows:

$v = \sqrt{2*g*h}$

As it can be seen, the mass has no part in the equation, so, due both are starting from the same height, both people have the same speed at the bottom.
The option c is the right one.
