How do you determine if a charged comb is positively charged or negatively charged. Suppose it is positively charged, it will at

tract negative charge on the electroscope and the positive charges on the leaves will repel. If it is negatively charged, it will attract positive charge leaving the negative leaves to repel

Generally, whenever an object is charged via friction, such as in the case of a comb, it gathers a negative charge because the rubbing brings forth electrons. If the charge is induced using another already charged object, then the charge is positive. If it is positively charged, it will attract the negative charge and cause the leaves to repel.

Which of the following equations describes Newton’s second law
svp [43]
C.

Newton’s Second Law is F=ma (force is equal to the mass multiplied by acceleration), however, the equation can be rearranged to isolate and calculate mass from force over acceleration. Therefore, m=F/a

Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that are limited in supply and cannot be replaced as quickly as they are used up.
zysi [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Nonrenewable resources ARE limited in supply. They don't get replaced at the speed they get made. For example: we pump crude oil from the ground at a rate that makes it impossible for crude oil to be replaced. Crude oil takes millions of years to produce

Answer:

1. F and G.

2. D

3. A and E.

4. B

5. C

Explanation:

1. Acceleration: An increase in a body's velocity. An increase in a body's speed.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

2. Kinematics: a study of moving bodies i.e physical objects in motion.

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

3. Inertia: A tendency of a body to keep moving. A state of balance of forces on a body and the body remains either at rest or in uniform motion.

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

4. Velocity: Fastness and direction of a body.

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

5. Reaction: an opposite force.

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move, etc.

A ski jumper travels down a slope and
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

304.86 metres

Explanation:

The x and y cordinates are dcos\theta and dsin\theta respectively

The horizontal distance travelled, x=v_{ox}t=dcos\theta

Making t the subject, t=\frac{dcos\theta}{v_{ox}}

Since y=0.5gt^2=dsin\theta, we substitute t with the above and obtain

0.5g(\frac{dcos\theta}{v_{ox}})^2=dsin\theta

Making d the subject we obtain

d=\frac{2v_{ox}^2sin\theta}{gcos^2\theta}

d=\frac{2*30^2sin48}{9.8cos^248}

d=304.8584

d=304.86m
