Given water's mass of 18g/mole and the value of the fundamental charge (charge magnitude of the electron and proton), use the largest charge density from the article to determine what fraction of water molecules became ionized (charged) due to triboelectric effects when it flows through the material that causes the largest charge transfer. Give your answer in e/molecule, or electrons transferred per molecule of water. For instance, a value of 0.2 means only one in five molecules of water loses an electron, or that 0.2=20% of water molecules become charged

- During a concentric loading of the quadriceps muscle in the upper leg, an athlete extends his lower leg from a vertical position (see figure (a)) to a fully extended horizontal position (see figure (b)) at a constant angular speed of 45.0° per second. Two of the four quadriceps muscles, the vastis intermedius and the rectus femoris, terminate at the patellar tendon which is attached to the top of the tibia in the lower leg. The distance from the point of attachment of the patellar tendon to the rotation axis of the tibia relative to the femur is 4.10 cm in this athlete. a b (a) The two quadriceps muscles can exert a maximum force of 225 N through the patellar tendon. This force is applied at an angle of 25.0° to the section of the tibia between the attachment point and the rotation axis.

The rope goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R₁ = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As the weight falls, the block slides on the table, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk = 0.250. At the instant shown, the block is moving with a velocity of v; = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley. Assume that the pulley is free to spin without friction, that the rope does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley, and that the mass of the rope is negligible. mq R₂ R₁ mi (a) Using energy methods, find the speed of the block (in m/s) after it has moved a distance of 0.700 m away from the initial position shown. m/s (b) What is the angular speed of the pulley (in rad/s) after the block has moved this…arrow_forwardno AI, pleasearrow_forward

- A uniform horizontal disk of radius 5.50 m turns without friction at w = 2.55 rev/s on a vertical axis through its center, as in the figure below. A feedback mechanism senses the angular speed of the disk, and a drive motor at A ensures that the angular speed remain constant while a m = 1.20 kg block on top of the disk slides outward in a radial slot. The block starts at the center of the disk at time t = 0 and moves outward with constant speed v = 1.25 cm/s relative to the disk until it reaches the edge at t = 360 s. The sliding block experiences no friction. Its motion is constrained to have constant radial speed by a brake at B, producing tension in a light string tied to the block. (a) Find the torque as a function of time that the drive motor must provide while the block is sliding. Hint: The torque is given by t = 2mrvw. t N.m (b) Find the value of this torque at t = 360 s, just before the sliding block finishes its motion.

At its closest approach, the planet is 0.670 AU from the star and has a speed of 54.0 km/s. When the planet is at its farthest distance from the star of 36.0 AU, what is its speed (in km/s)? (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and is equal to 1.496 × 1011 m. You may assume that other planets and smaller objects in the star system exert negligible forces on the planet.) km/s (b) What If? A comet is in a highly elliptical orbit around the same star. The comet's greatest distance from the star is 25,700 times larger than its closest distance to the star. The comet's speed at its greatest distance is 2.40 x 10-2 km/s.

While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.505 kg and length = 2.70 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in the figure. Pivot Velcro M Incoming Velcro-covered ball m The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.25 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position (that is, rotate 180° opposite of its starting position), you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this…arrow_forward
