A glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth and brought near a neutral metallic conductor sitting on a wooden post. The conductor is t

hen grounded while the glass rod is kept in position. The ground is then disconnected and the glass rod taken away. What is the resulting net charge on the metallic conductor?

Answer:

Zero...

Explanation:

When the glass road is rubbed with silk clothes, it get charged positively. When it made contact with the metallic rod, the positive charge is transferred to the metallic rod (The wooden post will have no effect because it doesn't interact with charge on metals). When the metallic rod make contact with ground with intact glass rod, all the charge transfers to the ground because of the high negative potential of Earth, So, in the end all the net charge become zero.

natta225 [31]

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as 5.65 J/s.

<h3>Total thermal power generated</h3>

The total thermal power generated by this plutonium source is determined as follows;

ΔP = Eλ

where;

  • E is the energy of the particles = 5.6 mev
  • λ is the activity of the plutonium, which should be = 6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹

ΔP = (5.6 mev) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = (5.6 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J) x (6.3 x 10¹⁵ s⁻¹)

ΔP = 5.65 J/s

Answer:

-6 m/s^2

Explanation:

30 - 90 = -60

-60 / 10 = -6

If acceleration was constant, it will be -6 m/s^2

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The speed of the banana just before it hits the water is:

√(2 · g · h) = v

Explanation:

Hi there!

Before Emily throws the banana, its potential energy is:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the banana.

g = acceleration of the banana due to gravity.

h = height of the bridge (distance from the bridge to the ground).

When the banana reaches the water, all its potential energy will have converted to kinetic energy. The equation for kinetic energy is as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the banana.

v = speed.

Then, when the banana hits the water:

m · g · h = 1/2 · m · v²

multiply by 2 and divide by m both sides of the equation:

2 · g · h = v²

√(2 · g · h) = v

You place an object 30.0 cm from a concave mirror of 15.0 cm focal length. The object is 1.8 cm tall. Find the image position an
Softa [21]

Answer:30 cm

Explanation:

Given

object distance u=30\ cm

focal length of concave mirror f=15\ cm

height of object h_o=1.8\ cm

Using mirror formula

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{30}

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{2-1}{30}

\Rightarrow v=30\ cm

and magnification is

\Rightarrow m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{h_i}{h_o}

\Rightarrow \frac{-30}{30}=\frac{h_i}{1.8}

\Rightarrow h_i=-1.8\ cm

So height of object is same as of object .

Position :image is formed at the spot where object is placed.
