Answer:

An electroscope is a device which used to detect charge on an object. It consists of conducting sphere at top with a metal rod and metal leaves. This is enclosed in a glass jar. A charged object is brought near the top of the electroscope. this causes electrons to transfer to or from the charged object.

If the electroscope has charge, the leaves repel each other and move away from each other. This is because charge conducts from the metallic sphere through rod to both leaves. Having same charge, the leaves repel each other and open up. No change occurs in neutral state.

We cannot tell from an electroscope alone what kind of charge it has because the leaves have like charges and hence repel each other whether it is positive or negative charge. Thus, we cannot differentiate the charge.

How much metabolic energy is required for a 68kg person to run at a speed of 15km/hr for 15min ?
irga5000 [103]
<span>What I have here is exactly the same problem, however, with the time changed to 19 mins:

metabolic energy = metabolic power*time = 1.150*19*60 = 1.311 kJ..corresponding to 1.311/4.186 = 313,2 Cal or kcal 

If we reasonably assume a metabolic eff.cy of 20%, it means we need to assume food for 1500 Cal approx.

Just plug the value t=15min to the equation and you will surely get the correct answer.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

A bus leaves at 9 am with a group of tourists. They travel 350 km before they stop for lunch. Then they travel an additional 250
Anettt [7]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

In this case Time taken = Difference in hours between 3 PM and 9 AM

                                        = 6 hours

Total distance traveled = 350 km + 250 km

                                       = 600 kilometers

So average speed = 600/6 = 100 km/hr

Average speed of bus = 27.78 m/s

So the bus's average speed = 27.78 m/s or 100 km/hr.
