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As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.

Answer:

  • The impulse exerted by the ball is 7.2 kg.m/s
  • The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 600 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 0.144 kg

velocity of the baseball, v₁ = 20 m/s

velocity of the batter, v₂ = -30 m/s (opposite direction to the ball's speed)

The impulse exerted by the ball is calculated as follows;

J = ΔP = mv₁ - mv₂

ΔP = m(v₁ - v₂)

ΔP = 0.144 [20 - (-30)]

ΔP = 0.144 ( 20 + 30 )

ΔP = 0.144 (50)

ΔP = 7.2 kg.m/s

The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is calculated as;

F = \frac{\Delta P }{t} \\\\where; t \ is \ time \ of \ contact= 0.012 \ s\\\\F = \frac{7.2}{0.012} \\\\F = 600 \ N

Describe the formation of the land, the atmosphere, and the oceans of earth
Firlakuza [10]
Land: Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons. ... Landforms can exist under water in the form of mountain ranges and basins under the sea.

Atmosphere: (4.6 billion years ago)
As Earth cooled, an atmosphere formed mainly from gases spewed from volcanoes. It included hydrogen sulfide, methane, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as today's atmosphere. After about half a billion years, Earth's surface cooled and solidified enough for water to collect on it.

Ocean: After the Earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water, rain began to fall—and continued to fall for centuries. As the water drained into the great hollows in the Earth's surface, the primeval ocean came into existence. The forces of gravity prevented the water from leaving the planet.

Suppose your grocery cart is moving at a constant momentum in a straight line down the aisle of a store, without friction. How w
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

It will increase

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object and is given by:

KE = 1/2 mv^2

where m = mass of the object and v = velocity of the object.

It does means that the more the mass of an object in motion, the more the kinetic energy of the object if there are no opposing force such as friction. Also, the more the kinetic energy of the object, the more the speed of that object.

<em>Hence, as the weight of the cart increases by addition of groceries, the kinetic energy increases and the speed also increases as it moves along the frictionless surface.</em>

What is the acceleration of a 45 kg mass pushed with 15 N of force? What is the acceleration if the force changes to 25 N? What
Rama09 [41]
F = ma
Rearrange this so acceleration is the subject:
A = f/m

Now input your values into this equation for the first question :
A = f/m
A = 15/45
A = 0.33333333 m/s

Then using this same equation change the force of 15 to 25 :
A = f/m
A = 25/45
A = 0.55555556 m/s

For the last question keep the force of 15N but change the mass to 70kg into the same equation :
A = f/m
A = 15/70
A = 0.21 m/s (rounded)
