Answer:

D) negative, due to extra electrons.

Explanation:

The charge that would be gained will be negative charges due to extra electrons.

Electrons are usually lost or gained by bodies that comes in contact with one another.

They occupy the orbital space in an atom and are not strongly held by forces within the atom.

Protons cannot be lost in such manner. They occupy the nucleus and are bounded by strong chemical forces within it.

The polythene and rods are both made up of chemical substances whose units called atoms are made up of subatomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. As with all kinds of matter, there would be pool of free electrons round them that can easily be rubbed off due to the weak attractive forces binding them in the atomic sphere.

When the polythene and rods are rubbed, there would be a loss of electrons and the gaining body, polythene becomes negatively charged.

How does the north pole of a magnet respond to the poles of other magnets?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A magnet has a magnetic field around it which originates at the north pole and enters through the south pole.

In a magnet, like poles will repel each other and unlike poles will attract.

  • The north pole of one magnet will repel another north pole of another magnet.
  • North pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet.
  • This is the law of attraction and repulsion of magnet.

A 10.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. A 12.0 kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 8.00
Basile [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system.

Let the 10.00 kg mass be m_1 and the 12.0 kg mass be m_2. When they collide and stick, they have a combined mass of m_1+m_2.

Momentum is given by p=mv. Set up the following equation:

\displaystyle m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f, where v_f is the desired final velocity of the masses.

Call the right direction positive. To indicate the 12.0 kg object is travelling left, its velocity should be substitute as -8.00 m/s.

Solving yields:

10\cdot 14 + 12\cdot (-8)=(10+12)v_f\\\implies v_f=\boxed{2 \text{ m/s}}

Frank has a sample of steel that has a mass of 80 grams if the density is 8g/cm3 what is the volume
nikklg [1K]
Density is mass divided by volume. rho=m/v. So, v=m/rho. In frank's case this is 80/8 = 10 cm^3.

Wood is burning. *
xenn [34]

Answer:

It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.
