If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive

<h3>Laws of electrical attraction</h3>

This states that

  • Like charges attract
  • Unlike charges repel

Now, given that a negatively charged plastic comb is brought close to, but does not touch, a small piece of paper. If the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, this implies that both the negatively charged plastic comb and the paper have opposite charges.

Since the charge on the plastic comb is negative, this means that the charge on the paper must be positive

So, if the comb and the paper are attracted to each other the charge on the paper, is D)must be positive

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A) if each astronaut breathes about 500 cm³, the total volume of air breathed in a year is 14716.8m³.

B) The Diameter of this spherical space station should be 30.4m

Explanation:

The breathing frequency (according to Rochester encyclopedia) is about 12-16 breath per minute. if we take the mean value (14 breath per minute), we can estimate the total breaths of a person along a year:

f_b=14\frac{br}{min} \cdot \frac{60min}{1hr} \frac{24hr}{1day}\frac{365day}{1year}=29433600\frac{br}{year}

If we multiply this for the number of people in the station and the volume each breath needs, we obtain the volume breathed in a year.

The volume of a sphere is:

V_{sph}=\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3

So the diameter is:

D=2r=2\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V_{sph}}{4\pi}} =30.4m

g At some point the road makes a right turn with a radius of 117 m. If the posted speed limit along this part of the highway is
user100 [1]

Answer:

Ф = 28.9°

Explanation:

given:

radius (r) = 117m

velocity (v) = 25.1 m/s

required: angle Ф

Ф = inv tan (v² / (r * g))      we know that g = 9.8

Ф = inv tan (25.1² / (117 * 9.8))

Ф = 28.9°

A light source radiates 60.0 W of single-wavelength sinusoidal light uniformly in all directions. What is the amplitude of the m
Anna35 [415]

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts of Intensity as a function of Power and the definition of magnetic field.

The intensity depending on the power is defined as

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2},

Where

P = Power

r = Radius

Replacing the values that we have,

I = \frac{60}{(4*\pi (0.7)^2)}

I = 9.75 Watt/m^2

The definition of intensity tells us that,

I = \frac{1}{2}\frac{B_o^2 c}{\mu}

Where,

B_0 =Magnetic field

\mu = Permeability constant

c = Speed velocity

Then replacing with our values we have,

9.75 = \frac{Bo^2 (3*10^8)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})}

Re-arrange to find the magnetic Field B_0

B_o = 2.86*10^{-7} T

Therefore the amplitude of the magnetic field of this light is B_o = 2.86*10^{-7} T

To reach a vertical height of 13.8 ft against gravity, which has an acceleration of 32 ft/s^2, the required vertical speed can be calculated from the equation:
vi^2 - vf^2 = 2*g*h
Given that it has vf = 0 (it is not moving vertically at its maximum height), g = 32, and h = 13.8, we can solve for vi:
vi^2 = 29.72 ft/s
This is only its vertical speed, so this is equivalent to its original speed multiplied by the sine of the angle:
29.72 ft/s = (v_original)*(sin 42.2<span>°</span>)
v_original = 44.24 ft/s
Converting to m/s, this can be divided by 3.28 to get 13.49 m/s.
