The paper clip did because it is a conductor. A pencil is made with wood and that is an insulator.

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed
lions [1.4K]

Answer: They will repel each other.

Explanation:

Two inflated balloons when rubbed with woolen cloth will lead to repeal each other because of the similar charges on both the balloons.

Rubbing both the balloons together by the woolen cloth will introduce negative charge in the balloons.

As, we know that the same charges repeal each other both of the balloons with be apart from each other.

This is due to the static electricity, the negatively charged particles jump to the positive one. When balloons are rubbed they become negatively charged.

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul
kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.

In a ballistics test, a 24 g bullet traveling horizontally at 1200 m/s goes through a 31-cm-thick 320 kg stationary target and e
Zanzabum

Answer:

The  velocity is  v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the bullet is  m_b  =  0.024 \  kg

    The initial speed of the bullet is  u_b  =  1200 \  m/s

   The mass of the target is  m_t  =  320 \  kg

    The  initial velocity of target is  u_t  =  0  \ m/s

    The  final velocity of the bullet is  is  v_b  =  910 \  m/s

   

Generally according to the law of momentum conservation we have that

      m_b *  u_b  +  m_t *  u_t  =  m_b *  v_b  +  m_t  *  v_t

=>   0.024  *  1200  +  320 *  0  =  0.024 *  910   +  320  *  v_t

=>    v_t  =  0.02175 \  m/s
