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>

The graph below shows the velocity of a car over time.
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Calculate the area under the graph.

Explanation:

The distance made during a particular period of time is calculated as (distance in m) = (velocity in m/s) * (time in s)

You can think of such a calculation as determining the area of a rectangle whose sides are velocity and time period. If you make the time period very very small, the rectangle will become a narrow "bar" - a bar with height determined by the average velocity during that corresponding short period of time. The area is, again, the distance made during that time. Now, you can cover the entire area under the curve using such narrow bars. Their areas adds up, approximately, to the total distance made over the entire span of motion. From this you can already see why the answer D is the correct one.

Going even further, one can make the rectangular bars arbitrarily narrow and cover the area under the curve with more and more of these. In fact, in the limit, this is something called a Riemann sum and leads to the definition of the Riemann integral. Using calculus, the area under a curve (hence the distance in this case) can be calculated precisely, under certain existence criteria.
