hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also  negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be   attracted by  charged tape .

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

<h3>LINEAR MOTION</h3>

A straight line movement is known as linear motion

Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.

To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.

  • speed = 15 m/s
  • time t = 0.75 s

From definition of speed,

speed = distance / time

Make distance the subject of the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 15 x 0.75

distance = 11.25m

Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.
Georgia [21]
The refractive index for glycerine is n_g=1.473, while for air it is n_a = 1.00.

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 40 mph. At the same tim
blagie [28]

Answer:

75.36 mph

Explanation:

The distance between the other car and the intersection is,

x=x_{0}+V t \\ x=\frac{1}{2}+V t

The distance between the police car and the intersection is,

y=y_{0}+V t

y=\frac{1}{2}-40 t

(Negative sign indicates that he is moving towards the intersection)

Therefore the distance between them is given by,

z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}(\text { Using Phythogorous theorem })

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)

The rate of change is,

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=2\left(\frac{1}{2}+V t\right) V+2\left(\frac{1}{2}-40 t\right)(-40)

2 z \frac{d z}{d t}=V+2 V^{2} t-40+3200 t \ldots \ldots \ldots

Now finding z when t=0, from (1) we have

z^{2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}+V(0)\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}-40(0)\right)^{2}

z^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ z=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 0.7071

The officer's radar gun indicates 25 mph pointed at the other car then, \frac{d z}{d t}=25 when t=0, from

From (2) we get

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40+3200(0)

2(0.7071)(25)=V+2 V^{2}(0)-40

35.36=V-40

V=35.36+40=75.36

Hence the speed of the car is 75.36 mph
