If the sphere is positively charged, the positive rod is repelled by the sphere while the negative rod is attracted by the sphere.

<h3>What is an electrical charge?</h3>

An electrical charge can be positive or negative. From the laws of electrostatics, unlike charges attract while like charges repel. As such the effect observed when the rods are individually brought near the sphere will decide the charge on the sphere.

If the sphere is neutral, there is no effect observed when each rod is brought near the sphere. If the sphere is positively charged, the positive rod is repelled by the sphere while the negative rod is attracted by the sphere.

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler

lbvjy [14]

In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
$W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N$
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
$W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N$
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
$\sum F = ma$
$W-W'=ma$
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
$a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2$
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

What is a device that minimizes the force on a microscopic object during a collision?

liraira [26]

An impact which stops a moving object must do enough work to take away its kinetic energy, so extending the distance moved during the collision reduces the impact force.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.

MatroZZZ [7]

-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.

For a cylindrical capacitor, the capacitance does not depend on which of the following values?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Capacitance of cylindrical capacitor does not depends on the amount of charge on the conductors

Explanation:

Consider a cylindrical capacitor of length L, inner radius R₁ and outer radius R₂, permitivity ε₀ constant then capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is given by:

$C=\frac{2\pi \epsilon_{o}L}{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1}} }$

From this equation it is clear that capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is independent of the amount of charge on the conductors where as directly proportional permitivity constant and length of cylinder where as inversely proportional to natural log of ratio of R₂ and R₁
