I believe the answer is A) bringing a positively charged balloon near it.

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.

What are northern lights? a lights on mars b lights on the sun c lights on venus
laiz [17]

The northern lights are shafts or curtains of colorful light that occasionally appear in the night sky. They are one of the numerous astronomical phenomena known as polar lights (aurora Polaris).This phenomenon may be observed in mars.

Earth's magnetic field directs electrons and protons from the sun to the poles, where they excite atmospheric gas molecules and cause them to glow, resulting in the aurora borealis and aurora australis, two nocturnal light displays. You might refer to it as the aurora Universalis on Mars. This is because Mars does not direct the energetic particles from the sun to its poles since it lacks an internal magnetic field. Today, researchers utilizing the MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft find evidence for an aurora that may potentially cover the whole nightside of the planet. Venus lacks a magnetic field, thus it would not experience the same kind of nighttime aurora that we do.

A sample of argon gas (molar mass 40 g) is at four times the absolute temperature of a sample of hydrogen gas (molar mass 2 g).
qaws [65]

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for gases assuming ideal behaviour is given as:

rms = sqrt (3 R T / M)

where

R = gas constant = 8.314 Pa m^3 / mol K

T = temperature

M = molar mass

Now we get the ratios of rms of Argon (1) to hydrogen (2):

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (3 R T1 / M1) / sqrt (3 R T2 / M2)

or

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt ((T1 / M1) / (T2 / M2))

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (T1 M2 / T2 M1)

Since T1 = 4 T2

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 T2 M2 / T2 M1)

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 M2 / M1)

and M2 = 2 while M1 = 40

rms1 / rms2 = sqrt (4 * 2 / 40)

rms1 / rms2 = 0.447

 

Therefore the ratio of rms is:

<span>rms_Argon / rms_Hydrogen = 0.45</span>

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is "6666.67 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 0.100

Relative speed,

v = 4.00 x 10³

time,

t = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸

As we know,

⇒  F=m(\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} )

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =0.100\times 10^{-6}(\frac{4\times 10^3}{6\times 10^{-8}} )

⇒      =6666.67 \ N

Susan, driving north at 53 mphmph , and Shawn, driving east at 63 mphmph , are approaching an intersection. Part A What is Shawn
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph

Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.

ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.

iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.

iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.

We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.

v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁   = 63 - 53 = 10 mph

Resultant velocity,

v = \sqrt{v_{2} ^{2}+ v_{1} ^{2}  }  =\sqrt{63^{2} +53^{2} }

v = 82.32 mph
