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.

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15×10^(−2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7
IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength

a is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m

a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m

So we find

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m

The distance of the 5th  bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm

A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod.
mestny [16]

Answer:

a = 17.68 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

length of the string, L = 0.8 m

angle made with vertical, θ = 61°

time to complete 1 rev, t = 1.25 s

radial acceleration = ?

first we have to calculate the radius of the circle

 R = L sin θ

 R = 0.8 x sin 61°

 R = 0.7 m

now, calculating at the angular velocity

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

\omega =\dfrac{2\pi}{1.25}

  ω = 5.026 rad/s

now, radial acceleration

 a = r ω²

 a = 0.7 x 5.026²

a = 17.68 m/s²

hence, the radial acceleration of the ball is equal to 17.68 rad/s²
