Static charge builds on anon moving object so the charges in a conductor are moving so it cannot build up

Because it is conducted away IF the conductor is connected to earth;otherwise as the first feller said it will remain where it is and act as in a capacitor.Example is in the gold leaf electroscope where two gold pieces of gold leaf with the same charge visibly separate from one another;but if the electroscope is earthed the charges disappear and the leaves fall back into contact.As to hospital operating theatres such a spray of fine droplets would be attracted to surfaces especially if they were 
<span>charged and would kill germs in unreachable places.A bit like electrostatic painting of car bodies during manufacture where the paint drops ae electrostatic-ally drawn to all surfaces of a car body which is at high voltage of electrostatic charge.  hope that helped</span>

Compare the forces in a small nucleus to the forces in a large nucleus
pochemuha
The comparison of the forces in a small nucleus to the forces of a large one is the fact that they are capable of holding the protons and neutrons which made it no matter what their size may be. Therefore, as long as there is a nucleus, their forces can both hold together the two atoms tight.

What must be the length of a simple pendulum if its oscillation frequency is to be equal to that of an air-track glider of mass
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the air-track glider, m = 0.25 kg

spring constant, k = 9.75 N/m

let the length of the simple pendulum = L

let the frequency of the air-track glider which is equal to frequency of simple pendulum = F

The oscillation frequency of air-track glider is calculated as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{9.75}{0.25} } \\\\F = 0.994 \ Hz

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi(F) = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi (0.994) = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\6.2455 = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\(6.2455)2 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\39.006 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\l = \frac{9.8}{39.006} \\\\l = 0.25 \ m

Thus, the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene
Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

What material or device prevents the conducting of electricity?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

An insulator. You can see ceramic insulators on telephone poles and power poles if you look carefully. If you live in a city, somewhere in that city is a power station. The insulators are huge. They have to be. The currents are very large in many cases.

Find the pressure if a force of 2N is applied to an area of 0.00004m^2
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5 x 10^4 N/m^2

Explanation:

Pressure, force and area are related witg the following equation;

Pressure = Force /Area

From the question, we obtained the following information;

Force = 2N

Area = 0.00004m^2

Pressure =?

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 2/0.00004

Pressure = 5 x 10^4N/m^2
