It can be both flat or it can be when you have new eyeglasses on and you look down it makes you think the ground looks like that but its not
Here's the formula for the distance covered by an accelerating body in some amount of time ' T '. This formula is incredibly simple but incredibly useful. It pops up so often in Physics that you really should memorize it:
D = 1/2 a T²
Distance = (1/2)·(acceleration)·(time²)
This question gives us the acceleration and the distance, and we want to find the time.
(9,000 m) = (1/2) (20 m/s²) (time²)
(9,000 m) = (10 m/s²) (time²)
Divide each side by 10 m/s²:
(9,000 m) / (10 m/s²) = (time²)
900 s² = time²
Square root each side:
<em>T = 30 seconds</em>
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
