Why do you sometimes get shocked by static electricity? Explain how it happens and give an example.

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

That tiny shock you feel is a result of the quick movement of these electrons. You can think of a shock as a river of millions of electrons flying through the air. ... Static electricity happens more often during the colder seasons because the air is drier, and it's easier to build up electrons on the skin's surface.

Explanation:

Don't copy excatly but here it is.

If an object accelerates from rest, what will its velocity be after 1.3 s if it has a constant acceleration of 9.1 m/s^2?

HACTEHA [7]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Initial velocity,} ~v_0 = 0~ \text{m~s}^{-1}\\\\\text{Time, t = 1.3~sec}\\\\\text{Acceleration, a = 9.1 m s}^{-2}\\\\\\\\\text{Velocity,}\\\\v = v_0 +at\\\\\implies v = 0 + 9.1 \times 1.3 = 11.83~~ \text{m~s}^{-1}$

Car A, moving in a straight line at a constant speed of 20. meters per second, is initially 200 meters behind car B, moving in t

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

First, let's express the movement of Car A and B in terms of their position over time (relative to car B)
For car A: y=20x-200 Car A moves 20 meters every second x, and starts 200 meters behind car B
For Car B: y= 15x Car B moves 15 meters every second and starts at our basis point

Set the two equations equal to one another to find the time x at which they meet:
20x - 200 = 15x
200 = 5x
x= 40
At time x=40 seconds, the cars meet. How far will Car A have traveled at this time?
Car A moves 20 meters every second:
20 x 40 = 800 meters
