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.

A car runs around a circular race track from the point A to diametrically opposite point B The radius of the circle is ‘r’ . The
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Distance = πr

Displacement = 2r

Explanation:

First we need to find the distance covered by the car. As the car is travelling on a circular path and it traveled to a diametrically opposite point on the circular path. Therefore, the distance covered by the car must be the half value of the circumference.

Distance = Circumference/2

Distance = 2πr/2

<u>Distance = πr</u>

Since, displacement is the straight line distance between two points. So, the displacement in moving from a point to its diametrically opposite point must be equal to the diameter of circle:

Displacement = Diameter

<u>Displacement = 2r</u>

What is the net force on an object<br> at rest?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Net force equals 0

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that an object at rest tends to remain at rest, and an object in motion tends to remain in motion with a constant velocity (constant speed and direction of motion), unless it is acted on by a nonzero net force. Note that the net force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object.
