Triboelectricity or friction charging refers to the ability of materials to gain or lose electrons as a result of rubbing them against something. This phenomenon has been observed in the case of rubbing plastic rod against fur, or glass rod against silk.

In the context of rubbing plastic rod against fur, what happens is that the fur which has an excess of charges loses electrons to the plastic rod. This makes the plastic rod to become positively charged, and the fur, negatively charged.

what is the magnitude of g at a height above earth surface where free fall acceleration equal 6.5m/s2

ZanzabumX [31]

The magnitude of gravity is expressed in terms of its acceleration. So the magnitude of ' g ' at that altitude is exactly 6.5 m/s^2.

If A.B=A.C<br>does this imply that B must be equal to c ? <br>I need answer with example please

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

$Consider\ three\ variables\ a,b\ and\ c.\\If,\\ab=ac\\a*b=a*c\\We\ may\ now\ divide\ the\ LHS\ and\ RHS\ by\ a,\\Hence,\\\frac{a*b}{a} =\frac{a*c}{a}\\Hence,\\b=c$

$Ex: \\Consider\ a=5, b=6.\\Hence\ if,\\a*b=a*c\\5*6=5*c\\Hence,\\30=5c\\Hence, c=\frac{30}{5}\\c=6\\As\ b\ also\ equals\ to\ 6,\\b=c$

A satellite with mass 500 kg is placed in a circular orbit about Earth (Mass= 5.98 x 10^24 kg), radius = (6.4 x 10^6), a distanc

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Explanation:

a) F = GmM / r²

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹) (500) (5.98×10²⁴) / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)²

F = 3200 N

b) F = ma

3200 = 500a

a = 6.4 m/s²

c) a = v² / r

640 = v² / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)

v = 7100 m/s
