On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small

bits of paper will be attracted to the comb. Explain why.

When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

Identical guns fire identical bullets horizontally at the same speed from the same height above level planes, one on the Earth a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

I. The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is greater for the Moon.

II. The flight time is less for the bullet on the Earth.

Explanation:

Horizontal distance depends on the initial speed, height and gravity. Bullets have the same initial speed and are shot from the same height. In these conditions horizontal distance only depends on gravity, which is inversely proportional. Therefore, the less gravity the greater the horizontal distance. Gravity slows bullet and causes its impact on the ground. Since gravity is greater in Earth, the bullet hits faster on the earth.

The following represents a process used to assemble a chair with an upholstered seat. stationsa, b, and c make the seat; station
Mekhanik [1.2K]

There are three questions here:


A. The possible daily output of this process if there is 8 processing time each day?


the time it takes to assemble a chair in seconds = A + B + C + J + K + L + X + Y + Z  

which is equal to = 38 + 34 + 35 + 32 + 30 + 34 + 22 + 18 + 20 =263 per chair



Processing hours = 8 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds

= 8 x 60 x 60


= 480 x 60 = 28,800 seconds is available in an 8 hr day.



28,800 / 263 =109.5057034220532


Therefore, It is possible to make 109 chairs in an 8 hour day.



B. Given your output rate in above, what is the efficiency of the process?


The time it takes to assemble a chair in seconds = A+ B + C + J + K + L + X + Y + Z.


= 34 + 34 + 34 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 22 + 18 + 20 = 252.6315789473684 per chair


A total of 252 per chair


Processing hours = 8 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds


= 8 x 60 x 60


= 480 x 60 = 28,800 seconds is available in an 8 hour day


= 28,000 / 252 = 114.2857142857143114 chairs


= 109/114 x 100 = 95.6140350877193


Therefore, the efficiency of making the chair is 95.61%


C. What is the flow time of the process?


Flow time is the period that it takes a completed chair to flow through the process from the beginning assemblage step to the last step. Take note that ABC and JKL are parallel legs in the process, and as a result both do not include to flow time to the procedure. In addition, Flow time comprises both pass time and run time at each position in the procedure.

Somewhere in the vast flat tundra of planet Tehar, a projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60 degrees. It reache
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

R = 0.0503 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation

       R = v₀² sin 2θ / g

How we know the maximum height

      v_{f}² =v_{oy}² - 2 g y

      v_{f}= 0

      v_{oy} = √ 2 g y

      v_{oy} = √ 2 9.8 / 15

      v_{oy} = 1.14 m / s

Let's use trigonometry to find the speed

    sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

    vo = v_{oy} / sin θ

    vo = 1.14 / sin 60

    vo = 1.32 m / s

We calculate the range with the first equation

     R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30

    R = 0.0503 m

During the 440, a runner changes his speed as he comes out of the curve onto the home stretch from 18 ft/sec to 38 ft/sec over a
Sloan [31]

Answer:

6.67ft/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=18ft/s

Final velocity,v=38ft/s

Time=t=3 s

We have to find the average acceleration over that 3 s period.

We know that

Average acceleration,a=\frac{v-u}{t}{t}

Using the formula

Average acceleration,a=\frac{38-18}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=\frac{20}{3}ft/s^2

Average acceleration,a=6.67ft/s^2

Hence, the average acceleration=6.67ft/s^2

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = magnetic of magnetic field parallel to the axis of loop = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = rate of change of area of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = Angle of the magnetic field with the area vector = 0

E = emf induced in the loop

Induced emf is given as

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV
