Answer:

B. Electrons are transferred from the fur to the plastic rod.

Explanation:

Triboelectricity or friction charging refers to the ability of materials to gain or lose electrons as a result of rubbing them against something. This phenomenon has been observed in the case of rubbing plastic rod against fur, or glass rod against silk.

In the context of rubbing plastic rod against fur, what happens is that the fur which has an excess of charges loses electrons to the plastic rod. This makes the plastic rod to become positively charged, and the fur, negatively charged.

4) Explain which electric charges attract and which electric charges repel (push away)
DaniilM [7]

Explanation:

According to the fundamental law of electrostatics, like charges which are ( only positive or only negative charges) repel while unlike charges which are ( positive and negative charges ) attract each other.

that is: ( +++++ ++++++) they repel

while ( +++++++ ———) they attract

An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient's heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves r
alexandr402 [8]
Hi there, 
for this question we have:
Signal 2.0 MHz = Emitted so we can call it f_e
and we need the Reflected = f_{r}
In this question, we have a source which goes to the heart and a reflected which comes back from the heart and we need the speed of the reflected.
So you should know that the speed of reflected is lower than the source(Emitted). 
we also know: ΔBeat frequency(max) = 560 Hz = f_{b}
so we have: 
f_{e} - f_{r} = f_{b}
so frequency of Reflected is: 
2.0 × 10^6 Hz - 560 Hz = 1.99 × 10^6 Hz = f_{r}
now you know that Lambda = v/f 
so if we find the lambda with our Emitted then we can find v with the Reflected: 
Lambda = 1540(m/s) / 2.0 × 10^6 Hz = 7.7 × 10^-4 m 
=> v_{max} = (lambda)(f_{r} 
=> 7.7 × 10^-4m (1.99 × 10^6Hz) = 1532 m/s 
so the v_{max} is equal to 1532 m/s :)))
This question is solved by two top teachers as fast as they could :))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

How large amount of energy is produced during the fission of uranium ​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

answer is a very large amount of energy is produced from a very small mass

Explanation:

nuclear energy is produced either by fusion or fission the former is fusion of lighter atoms into heavier elements while the letter is the splitting of a heavier atom into lighter atoms. both produce tremendous amount of energy fusion causes compassion of mass wild fission reduces it. and produce it. fusion does not produce radioactive particles while fission does (alpha and beta particles and neutrons)

Full explanation please I’m asking kindly
-Dominant- [34]

1).

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (1000 meters) / (331 m/s)

<em>Time = 3.02 seconds</em>

2).

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (second speed) - (first speed)

Change in speed = (50 m/s) - (20 m/s) = 30 m/s

Acceleration = (30 m/s) / (5 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = 6 m/s²</em>
