Answer:

A) bringing a positively charged balloon near it.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because is the only option in which the object has a charge (a positive one in this case). That means when the scientist brings a positively charged balloon near the hollow metal globe on the top of the Van de Graaff generator a repulsion is seen it because the globe is positively charged too.

4. A latch holding a cart in place, hanging high above the ground, breaks and the cart falls. The cart started from rest and is
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) 31.4 m/s

b) 50.2 m

Explanation:

a) When an object is free falling, its speed is determined by the gravity force giving it acceleration. Equation for the velocity of free fall started from the rest is:

v = g • t

g - is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81 m/s^2, sometimes rounded to 10

t - is the time of free fall

So:

v = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2

v = 31.4 m/s ( if g is rounded to 10, then the velocity is 10 • 3.2 = 32 m/s)

b) To determine the distance crossed in free fall we use the equation:

s = v0 + gt^2/2

v0 - is the starting velocity (since object started fall from rest, its v0 is 0)

s = gt^2/2

s = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2^2 / 2

s = 50.2 m (if we round g to 10 then the distance is 10 • 3.2^2/2 = 51.2 meters)

1. If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is _____.
Ymorist [56]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. 12 units

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 3 units, the strength of the magnetic field at A is 12 units
  • Magnetic field strength is one of two ways that the intensity of a magnetic field can be expressed.
  • <em><u>The strength of the field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. This means that If the distance between two points in magnetic filed is doubled the magnetic force between them will fall to a quarter of the initial value. </u></em>
  • <em><u>On the other hand, if the distance between two magnets is halved the magnetic force between them will increase to four times the initial value.</u></em>

The match making one is Radiation is i think B and Convection i think is C and Conduction i think is A.  I think 1 is radiation. Because radiation is transferred between objects or an empty space. Number 2 i think is conduction Because conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between to objects touching. Number 3 i also i think is radiation because radiation transfers between objects. Number 4 i also think is conduction because the spoon was touching a hot pot that was on the stove so then the thermal energy was transferred between the two objects touching. number 5 I think is convection because convection is the transfer of energy by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Number 6 i think is radiation because the snake is not touching the lamp and radiation goes all across spaces. Number 7 i think is convection because convection is the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Hope this helps sorry its so long :)
