When a neutral metal sphere is charged by contact with a positively charged glass rod, the sphere

Physics
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]4 years ago
7 0
Charging something electrically involves the exchange of electrons (not protons)  so we're left with choices (1) or (2).  Since the sphere is neutral and the rod is positive, there will be a distribution of positive charge.  This can only be due to a lack of electrons, since electrons are negatively charged.  Therefore, the sphere must lose electrons to the positive rod, (choice 1) leaving both with a net positive charge.  The rod will be less positive than before, as will the sphere.

A person measures his or her heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30s. If 40±1 beats are counted in 30.0±0.5s, what is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Explanation:

Number of heart beats = 40 \pm 1

time taken = 30.0 \pm 0.5 s

now we have

N = 40 \pm 2.5%

t = 30.0 \pm 1.67%

now rate of heart beat is defined as number of heart beat per unit of time

so we have

Rate = \frac{N}{t}

Rate = \frac{40 \pm 2.5}{30 \pm 1.67}

so we have

Rate = 1.33 \pm (2.5 + 1.67 )

Rate = 1.33 \pm 4.17%

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

. What is the relationship between potential energy, kinetic energy, and speed as the skater moves down and up the U-shaped ramp
kykrilka [37]
Top of the U ramp: potential energy is the highest, while kinetic energy is the lowest

Bottom of the U ramp(aka the curve part): potential energy is the lowest and the kinetic energy is the highest

THEREFORE, PE and KE have an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP.
