Answer:

The same effect can be observed on other non-conductive, polymer surfaces like the mesh of a trampoline. If it is sitting in the sun for a while, you can feel the static charge on it when you approach it, even if no one has been on it recently (so it's not just from friction of users' clothing).

Explanation:

There are always stray electrons flying around, everywhere. The plastic of the slides (and other, non-conductive materials) tend to build up spare electrons just from the air currents moving over them, so its not really the sun that makes them collect charge. As the air around the plastic heats up, it loses its density and humidity, meaning that electrons that were sitting on or close to the plastic get stuck there. Air flowing over the plastic deposit more electrons. As the air cools after the sun goes down (or if it gets cloudy enough), the air around the plastic becomes more dense and can hold more humidity, which means that the electrons can be carried away by stray ions faster, and the amount of excess charge decreases.

Answer:

Yes because while you slide down the slide you are obviously going to wear clothes and the cotton on your clothes rubbing up against that rubber from the slides, are gonna react by sending a static electricity shock feeling  to your body

A uniform disk with a 25 cm radius swings without friction about a nail through the rim. If it is released from rest from a posi
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the swing , the center of mass will go down due to which disc will lose potential energy which will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 I ω² where m is mass of the disc , h is height by which c.m goes down which will be equal to radius of disc , I is moment of inertia of disc about the nail at rim , ω is angular velocity .

mgr  = 1/2 x ( 1/2 m r²+ mr²) x ω²

gr  = 1/2 x 1/2  r² x ω² + 1/2r² x ω²

g = 1 / 4 x ω² r + 1 / 2 x ω² r

g = 3  x ω² r/ 4

ω² = 4g /3 r

= 4 x 9.8 /  3 x  .25

= 52.26

ω = 7.23  rad / s .

To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the takeof
il63 [147K]

<h2> The potential and kinetic energy of airplane are affected by these factors </h2>

Explanation:

When airplane rises up , it requires potential energy . This potential energy can be taken from the kinetic energy of airplane .

Thus if the speed of wind is larger , it can either oppose the motion of velocity or can favour the velocity of airplane  . By which its kinetic energy is effected .

If the weight of airplane is changed , it will effect the potential energy required . Thus heavier plane requires higher potential energy for attaining the same height .

Thus these two factor has important role in the flight of airplane .

Hydroelectric plants are used to produce electricity. Electric generators are used in such plants that are linked to water-wheel
svp [43]

Hydroelectric plants are used to produce electricity is the statement that best explains the relationship between energy and motion.

<h3>Explains the relationship between energy and motion in the process?</h3>

There is direct relationship between energy and motion in the process because if we increase the motion of the turbines, more electricity is produced in the generator and vice versa.

So we can conclude that the relationship between energy and motion in the process is directly proportional to each other.
