When a man walks across the carpet and reaches for the door knob, why does he get shocked? doorknob Question 3 options: There is

an electric current in the door knob The carpet was exposed to electricity. Atoms are moving faster in the door knob than in his hand When he drags his feet across the carpet he gains an electric charge, and then the electrons jump from his hand to the doorknob.

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity. When you grab a doorknob, electrons jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity, giving you a shock.

<h3>What is static electricity?</h3>

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity.

The charge will persist until it can be moved away by an electric current or an electrical discharge.

when we walk on the carpet with socks our feet slide electrons off the carpet.  it leads to leaving you with a slightly negative static charge.

When you grab a doorknob electrons jump from your hand to the knob which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

Due to the static electricity jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

A baseball rolls off of a .7 m high desk and strikes the floor .25 m always how fast was the ball rolling
labwork [276]

Answer:

the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.

Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.

Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:

0.7 = (1/2) g t^2

solve for t:

t^2 = 1.4 / g

t = 0.3779  sec

which we can round to about 0.38 seconds

No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:

horizontal distance covered = vi * t

0.25 = vi * (0.38)

solve for vi:

vi = 0.25/0.38  m/s

vi = 0.65798  m/s

Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s

If mechanical energy is conserved, then a pendulum that has a potential energy of 20 J at its highest point and 0.5 J at its low
liraira [26]
At the highest point: kinetic energy is 0 due to the speed  is 0

So the total mechanical energy is 20

Assume no frictions present, then the mechanical energy is conserved

So at the lowest point, kinetic energy = mechanical energy - potential energy

Answer will be 20 - 0.5 = 19.5 J

Harrison wanted to find out what soil works best for growing roses. He grew them in potting soil, clay, sand, and soil he found
zepelin [54]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): TYPE OF SOIL

Dependent variable (DV): HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES

Control group: None in this experiment

Constant: SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK)

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable outcome. In this case, the independent variable is the TYPE OF SOIL used.

Dependent variable is the measurable variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES of each rose.

Constants or control variable is the variable that is kept unchanged or constant for all groups throughout the experiment. In this experiment, the constants are SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK).

Control group are the groups that does not receive the experimental treatment. In this case, all the groups received the experimental treatment (different soil types). Hence, there is no control

A 100g block lies on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 15 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic frictio
Fed [463]

Answer:

Mass that one should put in the container so that the 100 g block slides down the inclined plane at constant speed = 34.16 g

Explanation:

The vertical forces (with respect to the inclined plane) acting on the 100 g block include the component of the weight of the block in the direction vertical to the inclined plane and the normal reaction of the plane on the block.

And sum of upward forces = sum of downward forces.

N = mg cos θ

m = 100 g = 0.10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

θ = 15°

N = (0.1×9.8×cos 15°) = 0.946582 N

The horizontal forces (With respect to the inclined plane) include the frictional force (acting upwards for the inclined plane, opposite to the intended direction of motion), the Tension in the rope (acting downwards, away from the 100 g block) and the horizontal component (with respect to the inclined plane) of the weight of the block, F, (also acting downards).

For the body to slide down the inclined plane at constant speed, the downward sloping forces must balance the frictional force, that is, there will be no acceleration.

Frictional force = Tension + F

Frictional force = μN

where μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.60

N = normal reaction = 0.9466 N

Frictional force = Fr = (0.60 × 0.9466) = 0.56796 N = 0.568 N

The horizontal component (with respect to the inclined plane) of the weight of the block (also acting downards) = mg sin θ

F = (0.10 × 9.8 × sin 15°) = 0.253624 N

Tension in the rope = T = ?

Fr = F + T

T = Fr - F = 0.568 - 0.253624 = 0.314376 N = 0.3144 N

But the balance on the rope now has the total weight on the container (weight of container + weight on the container) to be equal to 2T.

2T = mg

2 × 0.3144 = 9.8m

m = 0.06416 kg = 64.16 g.

Mass of the container = 30 g

So, mass that one should put in the container so that the 100 g block slides down the inclined plane at constant speed = 64.16 - 30 = 34.16 g

Hope this Helps!!!
