<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>

Answer:

The number of atoms is N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is m_n = 4.2g

                   Number of atom in one mole = n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms

                   Molar mass of nickel M = 57.8g

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel }  * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\  mole\ of\ nickel

                           = \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}

                           =4.37 *10^{22} atoms

A long uniform board weighs 52.8 N (10.6 lbs) rests on a support at its mid point. Two children weighing 206.0 N (41.2 lbs) and
natima [27]

The upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

<h3>Upward force exerted on the board by the support</h3>

The sum of the upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces;

total downward forces = 52.8 N + 206 N + 272 N = 530.8 N

downward force = upward force = 530.8 N

Thus, the upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

What are some actions that can be taken to remedy air pollution? Select all that apply. Run your air conditioner at a higher set
Sati [7]

Answer:  Government passing regulatory laws

Car emissions testing

Carpooling and less driving overall

Air pollution results when a mixture of particles and gases that can reach in harmful concentrations both outdoors as well as indoors. This increase in concentration can lead to rise in the temperatures and global warming it is also related with the health hazards. Soot, smoke, pollen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane are the examples of the common pollutants.

Government passing regulatory laws: The government can ban some of the fossil fuels to prevent air pollution, and some vehicles which are likely to emit more partially combustible gases.

Car emission testing: Nowadays, cars and other vehicles are equipped with catalytic converters which converts the uncombustible gaseous products into less harmful gases which are emitted from the vehicle. The car gas emission testing should be performed to either allow a vehicle or ban the movement of the vehicle.

Carpooling and less driving overall: Carpooling is the sharing of one vehicle with more than one individual. This will prevent the need of others to drive another vehicle. The less the number of vehicles on the road the lesser will be the emission of gases and less pollution will be caused.
