Why do charges build up on clothing in an electric dryer?

Answer:

In clothing, static cling occurs from static electricity. An electrostatic charge builds up on clothes due to the triboelectric effect when pieces of fabric rub against each other, as happens particularly in a clothes dryer. The separate positive and negatively charged surfaces attract each other. It is especially noticeable when humidity is low, allowing static electricity to build up. Certain substances can reduce static cling and are often included in fabric softener and dryer sheets. Antistatic agents, which make the surfaces slightly conductive, can be used on fabrics.

Charges build up when you have dry air  and friction ,the heat to clothes which dry it out and causes friction.

Ordinary cells can convert chemical energy to electrical energy only, but rechargeable cells can also store electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. You will study more about it in your higher classes. secondary cells can be recharged and used again but dry cells cannot be recharged.

A sprinter accelerates from rest to a velocity of 12m/s in the first 6 seconds of the 100 meter dash .
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) 36 m

b) 64 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/2

v = 12 m/s

t = 6 s

Find: Δx

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (12 m/s + 0 m/s) (6 s)

Δx = 36 m

The track is 100 m, so the sprinter still has to run another 64 m.

Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is 26.7 joules

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) = weight of baseball × height = 1.47N × 10m = 14.7Nm = 14.7 joules

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 12 joules

Maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall = PE + KE = 14.7 joules + 12 joules = 26.7 joules
