The leaves of a negatively charged electroscope will move apart if a positively charged rod is brought close to the top of the electroscope, but not touching it.

What is an electroscope?

An early scientific tool used to find an electrical charge on a body is called an electroscope. The movement of a test object caused by the Coulomb electrostatic force is used to detect charge. An object's charge is inversely proportional to its voltage.

part a) leaves will repel. leaves will move further apart.

part b)  all the negative moves to the top to get closer to the positive leaves go back together as an excess negative move to the top.  leaves separate less.

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration
Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

F_f = \mu N

Where,

\mu = Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

F_{net} = F_f

m_{total}a = \mu m_hg

(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}

a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}

a = 4.54 m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is 4.54m/s^2

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position
