How can you tell that an electroscope has an electrical charge? can you tell from an electroscope alone what kind of charge it h

tester [92]3 years ago

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.

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Consider the image above. Vi = the initial velocity and Vf = the final velocity. Is there acceleration? Explain your answer.
lutik1710 [3]
<span><span>Velocity is a vector, and the initial and final ones are in opposite directions.
There must have been acceleration in order to change the direction of motion.</span>

A) No. The initial and final velocities are the same.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", and the initial and final velocities are NOT the same.

B) Yes. The ball had to slow down in order to change direction.
This is poor, and not the correct choice.
The "Yes" is correct, but the explanation is bad.
Acceleration does NOT require any change in speed.

C) No. Acceleration is the change in velocity. The ball's velocity is constant.
This is all wrong, and not the correct choice.
It's "Yes", there IS acceleration, and the ball's velocity is NOT constant.

D) Yes. Even though the initial and final velocities are the same, there is a change in direction for the ball.
This choice is misleading too.
The "Yes" is correct ... there IS acceleration.
The change in direction is the reason.
The initial and final velocities are NOT the same.  Only the speeds are.
