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.

Shaping will happen if _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]
What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

Five metal samples, with equal masses, are heated to 200oC. Each solid is dropped into a beaker containing 200 ml 15oC water. Wh
Ksju [112]
Part 1) Which metal will cool the fastest?
To answer this question, we should have a look at the formula of the heat flow rate, which says "how fast" a material is able to heat/cool:
\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}  = -k  \frac{A \Delta T}{x}
where:
\Delta Q is the heat exchanged
\Delta t is the time interval
k is thermal conductivity of the material
A the  surface where the exchange of heat occurs
\Delta T the variation of temperature
x is the thickness of the material
We see that the heat flow rate \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} is linearly proportional to k, the thermal conductivity of the material. So, the larger k, the fastest the metal will cool. 
If we have a look at the thermal conductivity of each metal, we find:
- Aluminium: 237 W/(mK)
- Copper: 401 W/(mK)
- Gold: 314 W/(mK)
- Platinum: 69 W/(mK)
Therefore, copper is the material with highest heat flow rate, so the metal which cools fastest.

Part 2) Which sample of copper demonstrates the greatest increase in temperature
To solve this part, we can have a look at how the amount of heat exchanged Q is related to the increase in temperature \Delta T:
Q=m C_S \Delta T
where m is the mass and Cs the specific heat of the material. Re-arranging the formula, we get
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}
therefore, we see that the increase in temperature is inversely proportional to the mass m. This means that the block that will show the largest increase in temperature is the block with the smallest mass, so the correct answer is A) 0.5 kg.
