If you're ever standing on a mountaintop when a dark cloud passes overhead and your hair stands up, get off the mountain fast. H

ow would your hair have acquired the charge to make it stand up?

Answer:

The hairs would have acquired charge by the passing of dry winds resulting in the loss of electron.

Explanation:

While standing on the top of a mountain if a person gets its hairs stand up after a cloud passes over, this might happen due to the static electric charges on the lower surface of the cloud  are opposite in nature to that of hairs which the hairs would have acquired by the passing of dry winds which would have resulted in the loss of electron from the hair tip.

Similar case happens when we rub a dry plastic ruler or a dry plastic comb on our hairs.

If one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers, in what direction does the induced electric fiel
Grace [21]

Answer:

There will be no change in the direction of the electric field .

Explanation:

The direction will remain the same because the sign of the charges has no effect on it.

When one replaces the conducting cube with one that has positive charge carriers there will be no change in the direction of the field as there is no defined relationship between the direction of the electric field and sign of the charge.

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
sesenic [268]
Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

I take 1.0 kg of ice and dump it into 1.0 kg of water and, when equilibrium is reached, I have 2.0 kg of ice at 0°C. The water w
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

.c. −160°C

Explanation:

In the whole process one kg of water at  0°C loses heat to form one kg of ice and heat lost by them is taken up by ice at −160°C . Now see whether heat lost is equal to heat gained or not.

heat lost by 1 kg of water at  0°C

= mass x latent heat

= 1 x 80000 cals

= 80000 cals

heat gained by ice at −160°C to form ice at  0°C

= mass x specific heat of ice x rise in temperature

= 1 x .5 x 1000 x 160

= 80000 cals

so , heat lost = heat gained.
