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>

Scientists have concluded that Earth is at risk of future impacts with meteoroids. What are some criteria that engineers conside
Aleksandr [31]
Answer:
Explain step by step
Explanation:
Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been responsible for huge landmarks in our planet’s history: global shifts in climate, the creation of our moon, the reshuffling of our deepest geology, and the extinction of species.

Asteroid threats pop up in the news every now and then, but the buzz tends to fizzle away as the projectiles pass us by. Other times, as with the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia, we don’t know they’re here until they’re here.
Perhaps most useful to remember is that when near-Earth objects (including asteroids, comets and meteoroids) enter the atmosphere, they’re called meteors; and if there’s anything left when they hit the ground, the resulting object is called a meteorite. We tend to focus on asteroids when talking about potential collisions, because they’re more likely to hit us than other stuff like comets, but still big enough to pose a threat.

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t
Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, \epsilon=1.5\ V

Magnitude of Earth's field, B=10^{-4}\ T

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

\epsilon=NBA\omega

\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}

\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}

\omega=159.15\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.
