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 are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

liraira [26]
<span>First, she should put the sample in a test tube and place it in a centrifuge. This would cause the red blood cells to move to the bottom because of their higher density. Next, she would be able to decant the plasma and analyze it separately from the red blood cells.</span>

You are asked to find a set of dimensionless parameters to organize data from a laboratory experiment, in which a tank is draine
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Step 1

Given: A tank is drained through an orifice from initial liquid level (h₀). The time(r), to  drain the tank, depends on tank diameter (D), orifice diameter (d), acceleration due to gravity (g), liquid density (ρ) and liquid viscosity  (μ).

r = f (h₀, D, d, g, ρ, μ)

Step 2

There are totally seven parameters r, h₀, D, d, g, ρ and μ

∴ n = 7

The primary variables are M, L, T

∴ m = 3

So, the number of repeating variables are, r = 3

Select the three repeating variables are ρ, d, g

Then according to Buckingham, there will be n-m (⇒ 7-3 = 4) dimensionless groups given by π₁, π₂, π₃ and π₄

So, The number of π terms = 4
