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.

What is the minimum tangential velocity a space station would need to simulate earth gravity if the radius is 50 meters ?
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

angular velocity is given by

w =  \sqrt{ \frac{g}{r} }

w =  \sqrt{ \frac{9.8}{25} }

w = 0.626

now tangential velocity is

V = rw

= 25 x 0.626

= 15.65 m/s

What is the use of force to move an object over a distance?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. For work to be done, the force must be applied in the same direction that the object moves. Work is directly related to both the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves.                                                                                              <em>[I HOPE THIS HELPS* PLS MARK ME BRAINLIEST]</em>

What is energy converted to if it is not used to do work?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the human body isn't very efficient at converting food into useful work. The human body is less than 5% efficient most of the time. The rest of the energy is converted to heat, which may or may not be useful, depending on how cool or warm a person wants to be.

The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy. How can photosynthesis
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The addition of energy form the sun known as solar energy to the reaction in other to yield glucose.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that all matter affected by energy are becoming more random. Indicting that there is a continuous increase in the entropy of the universe.  

In other words as a system loses energy to its surroundings. it becomes more random or experiences an increase in entropy

According to the second law of thermodynamics glucose would break down into CO₂ and H₂O under ordinary conditions, rather than fpr CO₂ to combine with H₂O to form glucose.

However due to the energy added through sunlight, the CO₂ and H₂Oare able to combine to form glucose.
