Why does a glass rod become positively charged when it is rubbed with a silk cloth?

1 answer:

5 0

The core has positive charge, the electrons have negative charge. When you are rubbing the glass rod with the silk cloth, electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the glass and transferred to the silk cloth. This leaves the glass rod with more positive than negative charge, so you get a net positive charge.

1. A baseball is thrown horizontally at 45 m/s. The ball slows down at a rate of 5 m/s?

meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

initial velocity u = 45 m/s

acceleration a = - 5 m/s²

final velocity v = 0

v = u - at

0 = 45 - 5 t

t = 9 s

b )

s = ut - 1/2 at²

= 45 x 9 - .5 x5x 9²

405 - 202.5

202.5 m

2 )

a )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

u = 0

s = 1/2 at²

= .5 x 9.54 x 6.5²

= 201.5 m

b )

v = u + at

= 0 + 9.54 x 6.5

= 62.01 m / s

a )

acceleration = (v - u) / t

= (34 - 42) / 2.4

= - 3.33 m /s²

b )

v² = u² - 2 a s

34² = 42² - 2 x 3.33² s

s = 27.41 m

c )

Average velocity

Total displacement / time

= 27.41 / 2.4

= 11.42 m /s

4 )

a )

v = u + at

v = 0 + 3 x 4

= 12 m /s

b )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= o + .5 x 3 x 4²

= 24 m

a group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! how exciting! upon furthe

maw [93]

Explanation:

From the experiment:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.

For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.

The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten

Mass number = 74 + 110 = 184g/mol

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 14.9 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 107 m from the base

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1) t=1.743 sec

2)Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)Vf=17.08 m/s

Explanation:

1)From second equation of motion we get

h=Vit+(1/2)gt^2

here in case(a): Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9m,,put these values in above equation to find the time the ball is in motion

14.9=(0)*t+(1/2)(9.8)t^2

t^2=14.9/4.9

t^2=3.040 sec

t=1.743 sec

2) s=Vo*t

Putting values we get

107=Vo*1.743

Vo=61.388 m/sec

3)the x component of its velocity just be- fore it strikes the ground is the same as the initial velocity of the ball that is=61.388 m/sec

4)From third equation of motion we know that

Vf^2-Vi^2=2gh

here Vi=0 m/s,h=14.9 m

Vf^2=Vi^2+2gh=0+2(9.8)(14.9)

Vf^2=292.04

Vf=17.08 m/s
