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.

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
W=Fd
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is W=1900 J and the distance through which the force is applied is d=400 m, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s

Which of the following is the equation for calculating daily caloric needs? A. BMR calories + Digestion calories B. BMR calories
labwork [276]

Explanation:

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375.

What is the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter with a word length of 12 bits and an analogue signal input range of 100
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The resolution of an analog-to-digital converter is 24.41 mV

Explanation:

Resolution of an analog-to-digital  = (analogue signal input range)/2ⁿ

where;

n is the number or length of bit, and in this question it is given as 12

Also, the analogue signal input range is 100V

Resolution of an analog-to-digital  = 100V/2¹²

2¹² = 4096

Resolution of an analog-to-digital  = 100V/4096

Resolution of an analog-to-digital  = 0.02441 V = 24.41 mV

Therefore, the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter is 24.41 mV
