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.

Faraday's law states that voltage can be changed by moving the coil out of the magnetic field true or false
NNADVOKAT [17]

As per Faraday's law of induction we know that induced EMF in a conducting closed loop is equal to rate of change in flux in that loop

So here we have

V = \frac{d\phi}{dt}

now when we move out a coil from magnetic field then in this case there will be EMF induced in that coil as here magnetic flux is changing with time linked with the coil.

Now this induced voltage will remain constant if coil is moved out uniformly

But it will not remain constant if coil is moved out with non uniform speed

So this statement is not always true

so answer must be

<u>FALSE</u>

A physics demo launches a ball horizontally while dropping a second ball vertically at exactly the same time. 1) which ball hits
Simora [160]

Answer:

Both balls will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The factor which leads to ball falling is the gravity acting on the ball;

The motions along the path of both balls are independent and both balls will obey the following illustration

Using the third equation of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where s = distance covered by both balls.

u = initial velocity of both balls. Since both balls start from rest, u = 0m/s

a = acceleration; and it's equal to acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

By substituton

s = 0 * t + ½gt²

s = 0 + ½gt²

s = ½gt²

Make t the subject of formula

gt² = 2s

t² = 2s/g

t = ±√(2s/g)

But time can't be less than 0 (in other words, negative)

So,

t = √(2s/g)

It'll take both balls √(2s/g) time to hit the floor
