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.

Consider an elevator with a table and a book on top of the table. The mass of the table is 10kg and the mass of the book is 2kg.
Step2247 [10]

Newton's second law allows us to find the force of the block on the table is 126 N

Newton's second law says that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body

                Σ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, m is the mass and the acceleration of the body

A free body diagram is a diagram where the forces are represented without the details of the bodies, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the system.

Let's start by finding the acceleration of the elevator with kinematics  

                 v = v₀ + a t

                 a = \frac{v-v_o}{a}  

Where v and v₀ are the current and initial velocity, respectively, at acceleration and t is the time

                 a = \frac{8-1}{2}

                 a = 3.5 m / s²

Let's write Newton's second law for each body

The book

                N₂ - W₂ + N₁ = m a

               

Table

                N₁ - W₁ - W₂ = M a

                W₁ = Mg

                W₂ = mg

                N₁ = (M + m) g + M a

                N₁ = (10 + 2) 9.8 + 10 3.5

                N₁ = 152.6 N

This is the reaction of the earth to the support of the block and the table

               N₂ = ma + m g  - N₁

               N₂ = m ( a +g) - N₁  

               N₂ = 2 (3.5 + 9.8) - 152.6

               N₂ = 26.6 - 152.6

               N₂ = -126 N

The negative sign indicates that the direction is opposite to the one assigned, this is the action of the block on the table.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we can find the forces of the block on the table is 126 N

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t = 3.81 s

b) vf =  37.4 m/s

Explanation:

Data

height = 71.3 m = 234 feet

t = 0 m/s

vf = ?

vo = 0 m/s

Formula

h = vot + 1/2gt²

vf = vo + gt

Process

a)

               h = vot + 1/2gt²

             71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²

             2(71.3) = 9,81t²

              t² = 2(71.3)/9.81

              t² = 14.53

              t = 3.81 s

b)

      vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)

      vf = 37.4 m/s

Ad libitum [116K]
John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.

The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds)  =  4,000 foot-pounds of work.

If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds)  =  645.2 foot-pounds per second.

The rate of doing work is called "power".

(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)

So back to our problem.

John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.

Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".

So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of

           (645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)

=  1.173 Horsepower.  GO JOHN !

(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________

Oh my gosh !  Look at #26 !  There are the metric units I was talking about.

Do you need #26 ?

I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.

a).  5
b).  750 Joules
c).  800 Joules
d).  93.75%

You're welcome.

And #27 is 0.667 m/s .

An object must move in the (same or different) direction as the force is being applied.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

only reason an object will move in a different direction to the net force on it is because of its prior momentum and it will always accelerate in the direction of the force if thats what u mean.. lol
