Explanation:

Most objects tend to contains nearly equal numbers of negative and positive charges as it is most stable state. In this case, the object does not want to lose or gain electrons in order to get stable.

The repulsive or attractive electrical forces tend to cancel each other.

There are an equal number of positive and negative charges which make the object electrically neutral.

If the object has more negative charge than the positive charge then it makes the object most unstable or vice versa.

Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.

A ball of mass 0.4 kg is initially at rest on the ground. It is kicked and leaves the kicker's foot with a speed of 5.0 m/s in a

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

the answer the correct is 3

Explanation:

Let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

I = Δp

I = m $v_{f}$ - m v₀

Let's calculate

I = 0.4 5.0 - 0

I = 2.0 N s

By Newton's law of action and reaction the force on the ball is equal to the force that the ball exerts on the foot, therefore the impulse on the foot of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction

I = 2.0 Ns with 60°

A 145-g baseball is thrown so that it acquires a speed of 25 m/s. What was the net work done on the ball to make it reach this s

inysia [295]

When the ball has left your hand and is flying on its own, its kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

KE = (1/2) (0.145 kg) (25 m/s)²

KE = (0.0725 kg) (625 m²/s²)

KE = 45.3 Joules

If the baseball doesn't have rocket engines on it, or a hamster inside running on a treadmill that turns a propeller on the outside, then there's only one other place where that kinetic energy could come from: It MUST have come from the hand that threw the ball. The hand would have needed to do 45.3 J of work on the ball before releasing it.

Answer:

The value is $t_1 = 9 \ s$

Explanation:

Generally the velocity attained by the sled after t = 3.10 s is mathematically evaluated using the kinematic equation as follows

$v = u + at$

Here u = 0 \ m/s

a = 13.5 $m/s^2$

$v = 0 + 13.5 * 3.10$

=> $v = 41.85 \ m/s$

The is distance it covers at this time is

$s = u * t + \frac{1}{2} a * t^2$

=> $s = + \frac{1}{2} * 13.5 * 3.10^2$

=> $s =64.87$

Now when sled stops its the final velocity is $v_f = 0 m/s$ while the initial velocity will be the velocity after its acceleration i.e $v = 41.85 \ m/s$

$v_f = v + a_1t_1$

Here $a_1 = - 4.65$ , the negative sign shows that it is deceleration

$0 = 41.85 - 4.65 * t_1$

=> $t_1 = 9 \ s$

You are piloting a small airplane in which you want to reach a destination that is 750 km due north of your starting location. O

alexira [117]

Answer:

v_wind = 101.46 km / h , θ = 61.8

Explanation:

This is a velocity composition exercise.

Let's do the problem in parts. Let's start by knowing the speed of the plane without air.

v = d / t

v = 750 / 3.14

v = 238.85 km / h

This is the speed of the plane relative to the Earth and it does not change.

In the second part, when there is wind, the travel time is greater than when there is no wind, therefore the wind delays the plane. To be more general, suppose that the wind has two components vₓ and $v_{y}$

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the plane's speed

cos θ = v_N / v

sin θ = v_W / v

v_N = v cos θ

v_W = v sin θ

let's calculate

V _N = 238.85 cos 22 = 221.46 km / h

v_W = -238.85 sin 22 = -89.47

the negative sign is because the plane is going west and the positive sign is the east direction.

As it indicates that the destination of the avine is towards the north, the x component of the wind must be

vₓ - v_W = 0

vₓ = v-w

vₓ = 89.47 km / h

in the direction to the East.

Now let's analyze the component of the wind in the Nort-South direction,

Indicate the travel time, let's calculate the speed that the component must have the speed of the plane

v_total = d / t

v_total = 750 / 4.32

v_total = 173.61 km / h

This is the final speed of the plane, which can be written

v_total = v_n - vy

vy = v_n - v_total

vy = 221.46 - 173.61

vy = 47.85 km

this component is directed towards the south

Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem, to find the magnitude

v_wind² = vₓ² + vy²

v_wind = √ (89.47² + 47.85²)

v_wind = 101.46 km / h

the address will then be found using trigonometry

θ = Vy / vx

θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

θ = tan⁻¹1 (47.85 / 89.47)

θ = 28.14

Therefore, the magnitude of the wind speed is 101.5 km / h and its direction is 28º south of the East, to give this value

90- θtea = 90- 28.2

θ = 61.8

East of South

You stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator. what happens to the scale reading if the cable holding the elevator suddenly

Viefleur [7K]

A bathroom scales works due to gravity. Under normal conditions, a reading can be obtained when your body is pushing some force on the scale. However in this case, since you and the scale are both moving downwards, so your body is no longer pushing on the scale. Therefore the answer is:

The reading will drop to 0 instantly
