If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each

other. If you then stick the sticky side of one to the shiny side of the other and rip them apart, they will attract each other. Give a plausible explanation, involving transfer of electrons between the strips of tape, for this sequence of events.

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude
enot [183]
The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}, where v_0=35 m/s
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards, and with initial velocity v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}. Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.
