Answer:

When kelvin pulls cotton shirt off his body, the electrons get transferred from the shirt in the form of static charges that means electrons to the body. So, the shirt becomes positively charged and his body becomes negatively charged.  

So, the transfer of charge from shirt to the body will takes place. And also we can hear a crackling sound. We can hear it and observe it as a sparkle.

Therefore the cotton has higher tendency to attract the electrons than human skin.

Answer:

Shirt becomes negatively charged and Kelvin's body becomes positively charged.

Explanation:

An electron is the elementary particle of atom. It has a negative charge of - 1.6 x 10^-19 C.

If a body loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged and if the body gains some electrons then it becomes negatively charged.

According to the question, cotton has higher tendency to attract the electrons, it means it has a tendency to acquire negative charge.

If Kelvin pulls his cotton shirt the electrons get transfer from his body to cotton shirt. It means the cotton shirt acquire a negative charge and the human body acquires a positive charge as it loses electrons.

So, shirt becomes negatively charged and Kelvin's body becomes positively charged.

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s

What information in the MSDS would be most important to know at the end of an experiment?
Artemon [7]
The most important information in the MSDS that is useful at the end of an experiment is how to manage or dispose of the waste materials of the experiment. This is important especially if the materials used are toxic. They cannot just be disposed in the sink or the trash bin. They must be disposed in a waste bottle or other methods.

The __ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Vlad [161]
<span>The SLOPE of a position-time graph represents an object’s SPEED.

It's not possible to tell the object's velocity from the graph, because
the graph doesn't show anything about what direction the object is
moving, and you need to know the direction in order to know the velocity. </span>
