An electroscope is a fork-shaped device commonly used to detect the presence of charge. The tin leaves of an electroscope will s

eparate when charged negatively. Over time, however, these leaves will cease separating, even without being touched by another object. Explain why this may occur.

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.

57. A red ball (m= 10 kg) is moving at 3 m/s. A green ball (m = 8 kg) is moving at 3.5 m/s. Which ball has more
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

the green ball has 4J more energy

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is given by the formula

K = 0.5 m v^2

the kinetic energy of the red ball:

K(red) = 0.5*10*3^2= 45J

of the green ball:

K(green)=0.5*8*3.5^2 = 49J

therefore the green ball has more energy by 4 Joules

If you were trying to build a sound proof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most so
LuckyWell [14K]
The sound absorption for wood is greater than the sound absorption coeffiecient for concrete at most frequencies, hence based on the coefficient of absorption for each material, wood is the best choice.

The velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -10.9 m/s, where the minus sign indicates that her motion is directly d
Volgvan

velocity of the diver is vertically downwards

given that

v = -10.9 m/s

time of motion of the diver

t = 1.17 s

so the displacement is given by

d = v*t

d = -10.9 * 1.17

d = -12.75 m

so it will be displaced downwards by 12.75 m

A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10.0 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–d
yulyashka [42]

Option (D) is correct.

The balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Explanation:

Velocity of air balloon along +X axis =10 m/s

velocity of ball=4 m/s along + X axis

the velocity of balloon gets added to the velocity of ball. So the resultant velocity of the balloon=10+4 = 14 m/s

time taken= 30 s

The distance traveled is given by d= v t

d= 14 (30)

d= 420 m

Thus the balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.
