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

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.

Sedaia [141]

Answer: Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement?

When a body's motion is linear in one direction. Or a body moving in a straight line without turning back.

What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and distance are exactly the same?

When the body is moving in a straight line with without changing direction or without turning back.

A 20-kg boy slides down a smooth, snow-covered hill on a plastic disk. The hill is at a 10° angle to the horizontal, and the slo

zvonat [6]

Answer:

13 m/s

Explanation:

I assume we are ignoring friction.

The boy's PE will all be converted to KE at the bottom of the hill.

to find PE = mgh we need to know h

h = 50 sin 10 = 8.68 meters

then: PE = 20 * 9.81 * 8.68 =<u> 1703.49</u> j

KE = 1/2 m v^2 = <u>1703 .49</u>

v = 13 m/s

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2$

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2$

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.
