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.

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.

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 50.0kg and a velocity of 18 m/s?
Rom4ik [11]
<h2>Answer </h2>

The kinetic energy is 8100 J.

<u>Explanation</u>

Mass is 50.0kg and velocity is 18 m/s, the kinetic energy is:

As we know the formula of kinetic energy which is K.E = ½ ( mv ^ 2 ),

mass = m = 50.0kg

velocity = v = 18 m / s,

by putting values in the formula,

K.E = ½ ( mv ^ 2 ),

K.E = ½ ( 50kg ) . ( 18 m / s ) ^ 2

K.E = ½ ( 50kg ) . ( 324 ),

=> K.E = 1/2 ( 16200 ),

=> K.E = 16200 / 2,

=> K.E = 8100J.

Hence, the kinetic energy ( K.E ) is 8100 joule ( J ).

Darya [45]
<span>Water in the oceans may become fresh water available to humans through the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

In these processes, water is heated to a very high temperature until it evaporates in order to kill the germs and remove the salts which remains after water evaporation. The next step in condensing the water vapor (which is now fresh) and precipitating this vapor to be used by humans.</span>
