You observe that a negatively charged plastic pen repels a charged piece of magic tape. You then observe that the same piece of

tape is repelled when brought near a small metal sphere. You are wearing rubber soled shoes, and you touch the metal sphere with your hand. After you touch the metal sphere, you observe that the tape is attracted to the metal sphere. Which of the following statements could be true. List all that apply. (1) Electrons from the sphere moved into the salt water on your skin, where they reacted with sodium ions. (2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body. (3) Chloride ions from the salt water on your hand moved onto the sphere. (4) Sodium ions from the salt water on your hand moved onto the sphere. (5) Electrons from your hand moved onto the sphere. (6) Electrons from the sphere traveled through your body into the Earth. (7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Answer:

(2) The excess negative charge from the sphere spread out all over your body.

(7) After you touched it, the metal sphere was very nearly neutral.

Explanation:

Plastic pen repels magic tape so magic tape is also  negatively charged . Further , magic tape repels small metal sphere that means small sphere also is negatively charged.

Now when small sphere is touched by a man insulated from ground , the charge is distributed between man and small sphere according to their capacitance .

Since human body will have greater capacitance ,it will acquire larger share of charge . Sphere being of very small size will retain very less charge and it will become almost neutral . Hence it will be   attracted by  charged tape .

g a horizontal wheel of radius is rotating about a vertical axis. What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a bug t
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

   a = w² r

Explanation:

In this exercise, indicate that the wheel has angular velocity w, the worm experiences the same angular velocity if it does not move, and has an acceleration towards the center of the circle, according to Newton's second law, called the centripetal acceleration.

           a = v² / r

angular and linear variables are related

           v = w r

we substitute

          a = w² r

where r is the radius of the wheel

Using simple language, explain how your demonstration shows the effect of distance on electric forces. Use the terms electric ch
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.

oksian1 [2.3K]
In a nuclear power plant, energy is released from the nuclei of atoms. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. Huge amount of thermal energy is released by the breaking of the uranium atoms. This energy is used for turning a turbine that produces electricity. It is a very clean method of producing electricity.
