If you were to walk toward a Van der Graaff generator, the effect of its electrical field would get weaker as you walked towards

it.
True or False

gavmur [86]3 years ago

This is False.  

If you walk towards a Vander Graaff generator and touch it, your body will be electrically charged with the same sign as the generator (that’s why your hair stands up, because it is charged with static electricity, and…electrical charges of the same sign repel each other)

Note that the Vander Graaff generator is isolated from the ground, so, if the electrical charge is increased, electrical arcs will form and fly off it to any nearby grounded object or person.

When you burn natural gas in the laboratory, methane burns. What numbers fill in the blanks to balance this equation? ___CH4 + _
Luda [366]
The answer is CH4, 2O2, ? CO2 H20.
In the reaction, the the bonds in the methane and oxygen come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide. The little number written at the lower right after an atom (subscript) tells how many of that atom are in the molecule. The big number written in front of a molecule (coefficient) shows how many of that molecule there are. All the atoms in the products come from the atoms in the reactants.

The reactants are on the left side of the equation and the products are on the right. In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and oxygen come apart, the atoms rearrange and then re-bond to form water and carbon dioxide

All the atoms in the reactants form the products so the mass of the reactants and the products is the same. No new atoms are created and no atoms are destroyed.

Dimension of radius of sphere​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The dimension is L

Explanation:

Dimension analysis is a method of representing quantities majorly with respect to some fundamental quantities of mass (M), length (L), time (T).

A sphere has a definite volume which relates to its radius by:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pir^{3}

In this equation \pi is a dimensionless quantity, and the unit of v is m^{3}.

But, metre is a measure of length, thus it has a dimension of L.

So that,

m^{3} ≅ L^{3}

Then,

L^{3} = r^{3}

Find the cube root of both sides to have,

r = L

Therefore, the dimension of the radius of a sphere is L.

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

A car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d
Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.
