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.

Which of the following is a source of thermal energy that is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere?

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

100% of the energy entering earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. ~50% of the incoming energy is absorbed by the earth's surface i.e. the land and oceans.

zheka24 [161]

I believe the correct answer would be A. The extraction of oil shale is detrimental to the environment mainly because the process of extraction requires large amounts of land. Lands are being excavated in order to locate areas which contains the oil. This is not good since it affects ecosystems and destroy habitats.

A basketball rolls across a floor without slipping, with its centerof mass moving at a certain velocity. A block of ice of the s

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

In order to understand all three questions one must have knowledge of rotational and transitional motion.

Explanation:

Both energies could be compared by means of their motion,as Ball it self rolling and also moving linearly therefore it has combination of linear and rotational kinetic energy in the mean while block of ice just have linear kinetic energy therefore Basketball have more kinetic energy

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mV^{2}+\frac{1}{2}I^{2} w$ in case of Basket ball

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$ in case of Ice

For momentum it is obvious that for basketball their is angular momentum along with linear momentum.

P = m v in case of linear momentum while

L= I w in case of angular momentum where I have rotational inertia and w is the angular velocity

their is no angular momentum in case of an ice block because it was moving in linear motion.

Due to the additional angular momentum conserved in the case of basketball so it has more energy conserved as compared to ice block therefore frictional effect and ramp sloping does not hurt much motion of basketball as compared to ice blocking.
