Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?

Physics

KengaRu [80]4 years ago

Explanation:

Most objects tend to contains nearly equal numbers of negative and positive charges as it is most stable state. In this case, the object does not want to lose or gain electrons in order to get stable.

The repulsive or attractive electrical forces tend to cancel each other.

There are an equal number of positive and negative charges which make the object electrically neutral.

If the object has more negative charge than the positive charge then it makes the object most unstable or vice versa.

<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>

A 20kg block is sliding down a 30° ramp at a constant velocity. Calculate the normal force acting on the block. Calculate the co
tatiyna

Let me try:

Normal force= 169.74N

Coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.577

Explanation

a. For a given inclined plane, normal friction is equal to the force perpendicular to the plane which is equal to

mgcos theta = 20×9.8× cos30 = 169.74N

b. The coefficient of kinetic friction for an inclined plane is given as

tan theta =tan 30 = 0.577

A water rocket has a mass of 0.8kg and is launched in a school playground with an inital upwards force of 12newtons. what is the
Darina [25.2K]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity).
It always acts downward.

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.807 m/s².
On the Moon, the acceleration of gravity is 1.623 m/s².

On Earth, the rocket's weight is  (0.8kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 7.84 newtons

On the Moon, the rocket's weight is  (0.8kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = 1.3 newtons

The force of the rocket engine acts upward.
Its magnitude is 12 newtons. (From the burning chemicals.
Doesn't depend on local gravity. Same force everywhere.)

Now we have all the data we need to mash together and calculate the
answers to the question.  You might choose a different method, but the
machine that I have selected to do the mashing with is Newton's 2nd law
of motion:

                           Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
 
Since the question is asking for acceleration, let's first solve Newton's law
for it.  Divide each side by (mass) and we have

                           Acceleration = (net force) / (mass) .

On Earth, the forces on the rocket are

        (weight of 7.84 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) =  4.16 newtons UP (net)

         Acceleration = (4.16 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 5.2 m/s² UP .

On the moon, the forces on the rocket are

         (weight of 1.3 N down) + (blast of 12 N up) = 10.7 newtons UP (net)

         Acceleration = (10.7 newtons UP) / (0.8 kg) = 13.375 m/s² UP

A bowling ball of mass 8 kg hits a wall going 5 m/s and rebounds at a speed of 4 m/s. What was the impulse applied to the bowlin
monitta
Yo, sorry I just resized I am so dumb.

The Answer would be C.

Becuase the wall is pushing off 9 becuase it took 5 and bounced back off 4 so 

9 times 8= 72 kg m/s 

Sorry about that ):
