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.

A certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which Κ = 5.5 .The area of each plate is 0.034 m2 , and the p
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given that,

dielectric constant k = 5.5

the area of each plate, A = 0.034 m²

separating distance, d =  2.0 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

magnitude of the electric field =  200 kN/C

Capacitance of the capacitor is calculated as follows;

C = \frac{k \epsilon A}{d} = \frac{5.5*8.85*10^{-12}*0.034}{2*10^{-3}} = 8.275 *10^{-10} \ F

Maximum potential difference:

V = E x d

V = 200000 x 2 x 10⁻³ = 400 V

Maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor:

E = ¹/₂CV²

E = ¹/₂ x 8.275 x 10⁻¹⁰ x (400)²

E = 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Complete the following sentence: How much you pay in taxes depends on _________________________.
solong [7]

Answer:

How much you pay in taxes depends on the amount of your taxable income

Explanation:

The total amount expected to be payed as taxes is a factor of the amount of taxable income earned within the given tax period.

The taxable income is found by subtracting the amount of deductions and exemption allowed in the tax year from the gross income. It is also specified as the adjusted gross income

The set marginal  tax rate indicates the percentage of the taxable income that is to be paid as taxes, such that there are three different ranges or tax brackets and taxes are paid according to the bracket to which a taxable income belongs.
