A neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge. What happens to the comb?

Physics
1 answer:
mixas84 [53]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Neutral comb is charged through induction.

Explanation:

The local charging of the comb is caused because of induction. The electron is pushed in the comb to the away side of the charged particle because of the negative charge which makes the close part positively charge.

Then after that when the observer move the comb away from the charge then the electron of the comb is redistributed.

A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

A positive force on the balance indicates a downward force on the silver sphere while a negative force on the balance indicates
anastassius [24]

The two spheres have opposite charges.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>What are types charge?</h3>
  • A charge can be negatively charged or positively charged.
  • When two charges have opposite signs, that is positive and negative signs, the two charges will attract each other.
  • When the two charges have the same sign, it causes repulsion.

When a positive charge points downwards ↓ and the negative charge points upwards ↑, this causes attraction and shows that the two charges are different.

Thus, we can conclude that the two spheres have opposite charges.

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone if I place a planet in orbits___, ____, ____
Minchanka [31]

If the mass of the sun is 1x, at least one planet will fall into the habitable zone. if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

<h3>
What are planets?</h3>

Planets are the large spherical shaped objects that rotate about the Sun in the elliptical orbits.

Planets are shaped from Planetary cloud. The dust storm and gases gathers under its own weight. The dense matter beginnings pivoting at high paces and accumulates more mass. The center structures, the star and rest of it ultimately levels into a curved plate from which planet is formed.

Thus,  if I place a planet in orbits 1, 3, 5 , 6 and all planets will orbit the sun successfully.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Describe each Newton Law. :)
Alex

Explanation:

1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. 

2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)

3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)
