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.

The weights of a large number of miniature poodles are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 99 kilograms and a stan
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

As I say in the comments, the question is incomplete, however, I will try to answer this by using data that I found on another site.

This is the part of the question that is not here:

If measurements are recorded to the nearest

tenth of a kilogram, find the fraction of these poodles

with weights

(a) over 9.5 kilograms;

(b) of at most 8.6 kilograms;

So, assuming a mean of 8 kg, and 0.9 of standard deviation, let X represents the weight of the poodles

The expression to calculate the fraction of poodle needed is:

Z = X - u / d

u: weight of the large number of poodle

d: standard deviation

Replacing data of a) wer have:

Z = 9.5 - 8 / 0.9

Z = 1.67

With this value, we need to take the value of Z, and see the area under the curve of standard deviation (see table attached)

Therefore:

P (X > 9.5) = P(Z > 1.67) = 0.5 - P (Z < 1.67) = 0.5 - 0.4525 = 0.0475

b) In this part, is the same as part a) so:

Z = 8.6 - 8 / 0.9 = 0.67

The value for area in the curve is 0.2486 so:

P = 0.5 + 0.2486 = 0.7486

Hope this helps

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then
Darya [45]

Answer:

y = -8.37 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

y = A cos(\omega t)

here we know that

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

here we have

T = 0.66 s

now we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}

\omega = 3\pi

now we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)

now at t = 2.3 s we have

y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)

y = -8.37 cm

A 16-Ω loudspeaker, an 8.0-Ω loudspeaker, and a 4.0-Ω loudspeaker are connected in parallel across the terminals of an amplifier
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

2.286 ohm

Explanation:

R1 = 16 ohm

R2 = 8 ohm

R3 = 4 ohm

They all are connected in parallel combination

Let the equivalent resistance is R.

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/R = 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/4

1/R = (1 + 2 + 4) / 16

1/R = 7 / 16

R = 16/7 = 2.286 ohm

A baseball of mass m = 0.49 kg is dropped from a height h1 = 2.25 m. It bounces from the concrete below and returns to a final h
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

mv - mu , v and u are final and initial velocity during impact at surface

For downward motion of baseball

v² = u² + 2gh₁

= 2 x 9.8 x 2.25

v = 6.64 m / s

It becomes initial velocity during impact .

For body going upwards

v² = u² - 2gh₂

u² = 2 x 9.8 x 1.38

u = 5.2 m / s

This becomes final velocity after impact

change in momentum

m ( final velocity - initial velocity )

.49 ( 5.2 - 6.64 )

= .7056 N.s.

Impulse by floor in upward direction

= .7056 N.s

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal
Lynna [10]

Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>
