Why does a glass rod become positively charged when it is rubbed with a silk cloth?

1 answer:

4 0

The electrons are removed from the rod and transferred to the silk cloth. This leaves the rode positively charged and the cloth negatively charged.

If the angular frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum acceleration

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

When we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration $(a_{max})$ will changes by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given the angular frequency $(\omega)$ of the simple harmonic oscillator is doubled.

We need to find the change in the maximum acceleration of the oscillator.

$a_{max}=A\omega^2$

Now, according to the problem, the angular frequency $(\omega)$ got doubled.

Let us plug $\omega=2\times \omega$ . Then the maximum acceleration will be $a_{max'}$

$a_{max}=A\omega^2$

$a_{max'}=A(2\times \omega)^2\\a_{max'}=A\times 4\omega\\a_{max'}=4A\omega$

$a_{max'}=4a_{max}$

We can see, when we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration will changes by a factor of 4.

During a race, four competitors of the same weight rode identical bicycles for 10 minutes. At 8 minutes, which bicycle was movin

Sophie [7]

Answer:

All the competitors will move with the same velocity.

Explanation:

Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.

A car interior is heated to 48 C by the sun What type of energy transfer?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Radiation heat energy transfer

Explanation:

The type of heat transfer from the Sun is radiation heat transfer, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation

The distance of the Sun to the Earth is several million kilometers away, with the space between being composes of vacuum and the nuclear reaction in the Sun's core generates vast amount of electromagnetic radiation that is transferred all across the universe and reaches the Earth as visible light and radiant energy at the speed of light

The radiant energy transferred from the Sun heats up the Earth, including the car's interior.

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W

lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m
