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>

PLEASE HURRYYYY!!!<br><br> Explain how you read measurements in a graduated cylinder?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....

hope it helps....

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

The propeller of a WW2 fighter plane is 2.35 m in diameter
Studentka2010 [4]
A) 1 rev = 2π rad. Using this ratio, you can find the rad/s: 1160 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60 s = 121.5 rad/s

b) You can find linear speed from angular speed using this equation (note the radius is half the diameter given in the question): v = ωr = 121.5 rad/s x 1.175 m = 142.8 m/s

c) You can find centripetal acceleration using this equation: a = v^2/r = (142.8 m/s)^2 / 1.175 m = 17 355 m/s^2
