What is the difference in the charges on a balloon rubbed in your hair and a glass rod rubbed with Silk? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

Rubbing the balloon on you hair, the hair causes electrons to be added to the balloon. Hence, the balloon would have excesses electrons.

Hence charge on the balloon is negative.

The effect of the silk is to remove electrons, so when the glass rod is rubbed with silk, the silk remove electrons from the glass rod. Hence, since the rod has lossed electrons, it would then be positively charged.

Hence charge on the glass is positive.

What was the basic shortcoming of the Greek philosophers approach to studying the material world?

baherus [9]

<span>Greek philosophers had a basic approach to studying the world. They like to question the world and incite debates but they never really bothered to gather any real information, just discussions. Due to this, many ideas about matters were put out to be discussed, but they were never resolved.</span>

Which of the following experiments could be used to determine the inertial mass of a block? A. Place the block on a rough horizo

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

D, using a spring scale to exert a force on the block. Measure the acceleration of the block and the applied force

Explanation:

For this you would use the net force equation acceleration=net force * mass however you will want to isolate mass so it would be acceleration/ net force to get mass. Then process of elimination comes to play.
