When we touch a Van de Graaff generator, our hair may stand up if it is dry. This happens only if the strands of our hair do what?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Repel each other.

Explanation:

Van de Graaff generator is a device that was invented in 1929, by an American physicist called Robert J. Van de Graaff.

A Van de Graaff generator refers to an electrostatic generator that typically involves the use of a moving belt to accumulate electric charge on a hollow globe that is made from metal placed on top of an insulated column and thereby, creating very high electric potentials i.e very high voltage-direct current (DC) electricity at low current levels.

Generally, when we touch a Van de Graaff generator, our hair may stand up if it is dry. This happens only if the strands of our hair repel each other because they are like charges i.e having the same potentials.

A long solenoid that has 920 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.380 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 10-4 T at its center. What current is required in the windings for that to occur?

Answers

Answer: 0.0328 A

Explanation:

Given

No of turns [tex]N=920[/tex]

Length of solenoid [tex]L=0.380\ m[/tex]

Magnetic field [tex]B=10^{-4}\ T[/tex]

the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is

[tex]\Rightarrow B=\mu nI=\mu \dfrac{N}{L}I[/tex]

Putting values we get

[tex]\Rightarrow 10^{-4}=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{920}{0.380}\times I\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{0.380\times 1000}{920\times 4\pi}=0.0328\ A[/tex]

What are 4 physical properties for the bear

Answers

Answer:

A bear normally has a short, thick neck, a rounded head, a pointed muzzle, short ears, and small eyes. Some species have round faces. Bears have poor eyesight, and most have only fair hearing.

Explanation:

Modern Bears are characterized with large body and stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five non-retractile claws and a short tail.

Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have concave faces, a distinctive hump on their shoulders, and long claws about two to four inches long. Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear's exceptional digging ability. Grizzlies are often dark brown, but can vary from blonde to nearly black.

The brown bear has a slight hump above its shoulder, round ears, a long snout and big paws with long, curved claws that it uses for digging. Unlike the black bear, it can't climb trees. It can weigh between 350-1,500 pounds. When standing on its hind legs it can be up to 5 feet tall.

Hope this helps     :)

the speed of an electric locomotive is 90kmh .express this speed in m/s with method​

Answers

Answer:

1 kmh = 0.27 m/s, that makes a conversion ratio of 0.27/1kmh

[tex]\frac{90 kmh}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{0.27 m/s}{1 kmh}[/tex]

and since its over 1 its just 24.3 m/s

An object has a kinetic energy of 50 J and a velocity of 5 m/s, what is the mass of the object?

Answers

Answer:

Mass, M = 4 kilograms.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Kinetic energy = 50 J

Velocity = 5 m/s

To find the mass of the object;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Making mass the subject formula;

[tex] M = \frac{2K.E}{V^{2}}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] M = \frac{2*50}{5^{2}}[/tex]

[tex] M = \frac{100}{25}[/tex]

Mass, M = 4 kg

Calculate the longest and shortest wavelengths we can hear.

Answers

the velocity of sound in air is 330m/s

and v=fh, where h is wavelength f is frequency,

h=v/f.......(1)

longer wavelength

h=330/20,h=16.5m

shorter wavelength

h=330/20000,h=1.65x10-²m

The lesser frequency was used for finding the longer wavelength since wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency,

thus an increase in frequency brings a decrease in wavelength.

and shorter wavelengths are more high and intense

B. The ball of paper hits the ground first because it is more affected by gravity
C. The sheet of paper and the ball of paper hit the ground at the same time.
D. The ball of paper hits the ground first because it has less surface area.​

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

basically, because the ball "weighs" more now, it will hit the ground quicker. so technically gravity is more affective towards it. the piece of paper kind of floats it's way down. gravity isn't pushing on one force more, but because because the ball weighs more, it technically would be said so. hope this helps!

A trampoline spring has a force constant k = 800 N/m and is stretched exactly 17.5cm. What is the energy required to do this?

Answers

Answer:

the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

Explanation:

Given;

force constant of trampoline spring, k = 800 N/m

extension of trampoline spring, x = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m

The energy required for the extension is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂kx²

E = 0.5 x 800 x 0.175²

E = 12.25 J

Therefore, the energy required for the extension is 12.25 J

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 5.45 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 10 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Resistance 3 (R₃) = 30 Ω

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

The equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/10 + 1/20 + 1/30

Find the least common multiple (lcm) of 10, 20 and 30. The result is 60

Divide 60 by each of the denominators and multiply by their numerators respectively. We have:

1/R = (6 + 3 + 2)/60

1/R = 11/60

Invert

R = 60/11

R = 5.45 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance in the circuit is 5.45 Ω

For two vectors A and B.A+B =A-B, if and only if??​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is a zero vector.

Explanation:

An equation is true if and only if adding the same value to both sides of the equation (the value needs to be compatible) gives an equation that is also true.

Start with the [tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex].

This equation is true if and only if [tex]\left(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B}[/tex] ([tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is added to both sides of the original equation.)

Vector addition and subtraction are associative. Therefore, [tex]\left(\vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{A} + \left(\vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) = \vec{A} + \left(- \vec{B} + \vec{B}\right)[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A}[/tex].

[tex]\vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A}[/tex] ([tex]\left(-\vec{A}\right)[/tex]is added to both sides of this equation,) which is equivalent to [tex]2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex].

[tex]2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex] if and only [tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(2\, \vec{B}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \vec{0}[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]\vec{B} = \vec{0}[/tex]. That is: [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is the zero vector.

In other words:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}\\ &\iff \left( \vec{A} + \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} = \left(\vec{A} - \vec{B}\right) + \vec{B} \\ &\iff \vec{A} + \left(\vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) = \vec{A} + \left(- \vec{B} + \vec{B}\right) \\ & \iff \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{A} \\ & \iff \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} + 2\, \vec{B} = \left(-\vec{A}\right) + \vec{A} \\ &\iff 2\, \vec{B} = \vec{0} \\ &\iff \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2\,\vec{B} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \vec{0} \\ &\iff \vec{B} = \vec{0}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, [tex]\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{A} - \vec{B}[/tex] if and only if [tex]\vec{B}[/tex] is the zero vector.

What are Planets?

A planet is an astronomical object that orbits a star or stellar remnant that is large enough to be rounded by gravity, but not so large as to trigger thermonuclear fusion, and that is free of planetesimals in its locality

Planets are generally divided into two main types: large, low-density gas giants and smaller, rocky terrestrials.

In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

Given data ,

Let the first planet be represented as A

Let the second planet be represented as B

Now , the planets A and B have similar average temperature

where , the planets can have negative as well has very high temperatures

Now , when A = Mercury and B = Venus

Venus has 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius)

And , Mercury has 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius)

So , both Venus and Mercury has similar temperatures

Now , when A = Neptune and B = Uranus

Neptune has minus 353 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 214 degrees Celsius)

Uranus has minus 374 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 224 degrees Celsius)

So , both Neptune and Uranus has similar temperatures

Hence , the planets are Venus and Mercury
