An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball

and then putting a large positive charge on the ceiling of his workshop. Instead, while attempting to place a large negative charge on the ball, the foil flies off. Explain.

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

A newspaper turns yellow in sunlight. Is this a physical or chemical change?
LekaFEV [45]
It is a chemical change. I always think of a chemical/physical change as if you could  reverse it back as it started off, for example if you stepped on a can you can reverse the can back probably not exactly like it was before but you can still reverse it so this would be a physical change, and if you baked a pizza you could not reverse the dough and everything else back.

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring, compressing it a distance x, and the block is then released. The spring project
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x' = 10 x

Explanation:

By energy conservation we know that spring energy is converted into kinetic energy of the block

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}(x)

now we will have same thing for another mass 4m which moves out with speed 5v

so we have

5v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{4m}}(x')

now from above two equations we have

\frac{5v}{v} = \frac{x'}{2x}

so we have

x' = 10 x
