When rubbing two insulators together, electrons from one insulator will be transfered to the other. so the insulator that has just received electrons now has a negative charge as it has received more electrons (making it more negative) the insulator that has just lost electrons has just become positively charged. NEVER SAY THAT PROTONS HAVE BEEN TRANSEFERD.... EVER. ONLY ELECTORNS ARE TRANSFERED.

Sound and light are both found as _____, with a variety of ____. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.

How much time does it take a dropped object to fall 180 m on Earth?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

6s

Explanation:

Assume it is dropped from rest and the gravitational acceleration is 10

By the equation of motion under constant acceleration:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

180 = (0)t+10(t^2)/2

t = 6 or -6 (rejected)

t = 6 s
