Answer:The comb gains electrons.

The hair loses electrons

Explanation:

Electron is negatively charged with a small mass.

Since electrons are negatively charged, they will move since the comb has no charge initially when it comes in contact with the air it gains electrons from it and the hair looses electrons

The answer would be:
The comb gains electrons.
The hair loses electrons.

In chemistry, the charge depends on the electrons and protons. The electron will give negative charge and proton will give the positive charge. Proton is located in the nucleus of the atoms so it won't easily move like electron which located in the orbit in the atoms perimeter. So, ignore the option with the proton.
If the combs become negatively charged, that means it gain some electron. Since something gain electron, that means another thing is losing an electron. That electron comes from the hair.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force = 31 N

Distance from the axis = 8.5 m

She applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation

So, The angle is 90°

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=Fd\sin\theta

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

\tau=31\times8.5\sin90

\tau= 263.5\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

A rocket takes off from Earth and starts flying to Mars. What happens to the force of gravity between the rocket and Earth as th
lawyer [7]

The force of gravity between Earth and Mars will decrease.

The gravitational law is given as-

           F = G mM/r²

  here,  m= mass of rocket

             M = mass of earth

             r = distance between earth and rocket

So, as rocket takes off from earth and fly towards mars then the distance starts to increase between earth and rocket, and the gravitational pull between them starts to weaken. Then a point will reach when rocket will far from gravity of earth and could probably enter the gravity of Mars.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.
