A rod made from insulating material carries a net charge, while a copper sphere is neutral. The rod and the sphere do not touch.

Is it possible for the rod and the sphere to (a) attract one another and (b) repel one another? Explain.

<span>As the charged insulating rod approaches the sphere (not in contact), free electrons in the sphere move. If the rod is negatively charged, free electrons move to the side of the sphere opposite the side with the rod. If the rod is positively charged, the free electron moves to the side of the sphere with the rod. In either case, the region of the sphere near the rod acquires a charge with the sign opposite to that on the rod.

a. Since opposedly charged objects always attract each other, the rod and ball always experience mutual attractive forces.

b. Since the side of the sphere near the bar always has the opposite charge to the charge of the rod, the rod and the sphere always attract each other. <span>They do not repel each other.</span></span>

A student of mass 60.0 kg, starting at rest, slides down a slide 20.0 m long, tilted at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the ho
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reaction force of inclined surface

R = mgcos30

=60 x 9.8 x .866

= 509 N

Force of kinetic friction

= .12 x 509

= 61.08 N

b )

net force downwards = mgsinθ - μmgcosθ

acceleration = g sinθ - μgcosθ

9.8 sin30 - .12 x 9.8 x cos30

= 4.9 - 1.018

a= 3.88 m /s²

c )

v² = 2as

= 2 x  3.88 x 20

v = 12.46 m /s

At one instant of time, a car and a truck are traveling side by side in adjacent lanes of a highway. The car has a greater veloc
Helen [10]

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocityΔv in respect to timeΔt

so if the velocity of the car is greater than the truck it does not mean that the car acceleration is greater than the truck.

Sometimes with constant velocity it means no accelaration ,but the truck may have accelaration

so, higher velocity of the car does not mean higher acceleration

A 5kg cat is lifted 2m into the air. How much GPE does it gain
luda_lava [24]

m = mass of the cat being lifted = 5 kg

h = height to which the cat is raised into air = 2 m

g = acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

U = gravitational potential energy gained by the cat

Gravitational potential energy gained by the cat is given as

U = m g h

inserting the values in the above equation

U = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

U = (5 x 9.8 x 2) (kg m²/s²)

U = 98 J
