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.

Review. A light spring of force constant 3.85 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250-kg block on the left and a 0

The answer is 0.245N.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

(b) 0.100

For the block on the left, f_{k} =u_{k} n= 0.100(2.45N)=0.245N.

∑F_{x}=ma_{x}

–0.308N+0.245N=(0.250kg)a

a=−0.252m/s^{2} if the force of static friction is not too large.

For the block on the right, f_{k} =u_{k} n=0.490N. The maximum force of static friction would be larger, so no motion would begin, and the acceleration is zero

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. Given that Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg and its radius i
Sergio039 [100]
<span>We can use an equation to find the gravitational force exerted on the HST. F = GMm / r^2 G is the gravitational constant M is the mass of the Earth m is the mass of the HST r is the distance to the center of the Earth This force F provides the centripetal force for the HST to move in a circle. The equation we use for circular motion is: F = mv^2 / r m is the mass of the HST v is the tangential speed r is the distance to the center of the Earth Now we can equate these two equations to find v. mv^2 / r = GMm / r^2 v^2 = GM / r v = sqrt{GM / r } v = sqrt{(6.67 x 10^{-11})(5.97 x 10^{24}) / 6,949,000 m} v = 7570 m/s which is equal to 7.570 km/s HST's tangential speed is 7570 m/s or 7.570 km/s</span>

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point p. five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
icang [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

Answer: 349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)
