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

NARA [144]

Answer:

If the end of the tube is uncovered such that the air at the end of the tube can freely vibrate when the sound wave reaches it, then the end is referred to as an open end. If both ends of the tube are uncovered or open, the musical instrument is said to contain an open-end air column.

The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.5 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions.
zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between wires, d = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m

Power of light bulb, P = 100 W

Potential difference, V = 120 V

(a) We need to find the force per unit length each wire of the cord exert on the other. It is given by :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I^2}{2\pi r}

Power, P = V × I

I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{100}{120}=0.83\ A

This gives, \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (0.83)^2}{2\pi \times 0.0035}

\dfrac{F}{l}=0.0000393\ N/m

\dfrac{F}{l}=3.93\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

(b) Since, the two wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. So, teh force is repulsive.

(c) This force is negligible.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Murrr4er [49]
The three types of stress that act on Earth's rocks are compression, tension and shear. Among all the options that are given in the question, the correct option is option "D". These kind of stress action creates the rocks to break in a natural way. The earth's rocks sometimes collide with one another, pull apart from each other and sometimes slide against each other. Whenever two rocks collide with each other, they create a compression force. When the two rocks of the earth tries to pull away from each other, it creates a tension force. The sliding of two earth's rocks creates a shearing force.

Why is gravity important in the solar system
Orlov [11]
Gravity causes the motions of planets, stars, and galaxies. It's why the Moon orbits around the Earth, and the Earth orbits around the Sun, and the solar system orbits around the galaxy.

A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of  elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .
