Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.
Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
Answer:
A) wood, water, neon gas
Explanation:
Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.
- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood
- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water
- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas
Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.
Answer:
2.5
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by
where
k is the dielectric constant
is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric
In this problem,
is the capacitance of the capacitor in air
is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted
Solving the equation for k, we find
