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.

I made the drawing in the attached file.

I included two figures.

The upper figure shows the effect of:

- multiplying vector A times 1.5.
 It is drawn in red with dotted line.

- multiplying vector B times - 3 .
It is drawn in purple with dotted line.

In the lower figure you have the resultant vector: C = 1.5A - 3B.

The method is that you translate the tail of the vector -3B unitl the point of the vector 1,5A, preserving the angles.

Then you draw the arrow that joins the tail of 1,5A with the point of -3B after translation.

The resultant arrow is the vector C and it is drawn in black dotted line.

On a warm summer day (31 ∘c), it takes 4.60 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. on a winter day, it takes 5.00 s
xenn [34]
The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance between the cliff and the source of the sound.

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of sound at temperature of T=31^{\circ}C:
v=(331+0.60 T) m/s = (331+0.6 \cdot 31) m/s = 349.6 m/s

The sound wave travels from the original point to the cliff and then back again to the original point in a total time of t=4.60 s. If we call L the distance between the source of the sound wave and the cliff, we can write (since the wave moves by uniform motion):
v= \frac{2L}{t}
where v is the speed of the wave, 2L is the total distance covered by the wave and t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate L, the distance between the source of the sound and the cliff:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(349.6 m/s)/4.60 s)}{2}=  804.1 m

Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. (The block of wood is sitting on a frictionless sur
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The speed of bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 22.22 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 0.04 Kg

Mass of the wooden block, M = 0.5 Kg

The initial velocity of the bullet, u = 300 m/s

The initial velocity of the wooden block, U = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 0 m/s

According to the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the body after impact is equal to the total momentum before impact.

Therefore,

                              mV + MV = mu + MU

                               V(m+M) = mu

                                 V = mu/(m+M)

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                V = 0.04 Kg x 300 m/s  / (0.04 Kg+ 0.5 Kg)

                                    = 22.22 m/s

Hence, the speed of bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 22.22 m/s

A 5.00-g bullet is shot through a 1.00-kg wood block suspended on a string 2.00 m long. The center of mass of the block rises a
o-na [289]

Answer:395.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of bullet m=5 gm

mass of wood block M=1 kg

Length of string L=2 m

Center of mass rises to an height of 0.38 cm

initial velocity of bullet u=450 m/s

let v_1 and v_2 be the velocity of bullet and block after collision

Conserving momentum

mu=mv_1+Mv_2 -------------1

Now after the collision block rises to an height of 0.38 cm

Conserving Energy for block

kinetic energy of block at bottom=Gain in Potential Energy

\frac{Mv_2^2}{2}=Mgh_{cm}

v_2=\sqrt{2gh_{cm}}

v_2=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.38}

v_2=0.272 m/s

substitute the value of v_2 in equation 1

5\times 450=5\times v_1+1000\times 0.272

v_1=395.6 m/s

A cyclist moving with a constant velocity of 6.0 m/s forward passes a car that is just starting. If the car has a constant accel
sergiy2304 [10]

After 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cyclist.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The speed of the cyclist = 6 m/s.

Let after time t sec, the car will overtake the cyclist.

So, distance covered by the cyclist in t sec = 6t m

Initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s, because the car is just starting.

Acceleration of the car =2 m/s^2.

Final velocity of the car =6 m/s.

So to cover the distance 6t, the time required by the car = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2

6t = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times t^2\\6t = t^2

t =6 sec

So, after 6 seconds, the car will surpass the cycle.
