If a negatively charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. This happens:_______

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>c. because the rod polarizes the metal.</em>

Explanation:

Bringing the negatively charged rod close to the neutral metal ball causes the neutral metal ball to be polarized with induced positive charge on it. The polarizing of the formally neutral metal ball is due to the negative charge on the metal rod (bodies induce a charge opposite of their own charge on a nearby neutral body). The ball and rod then attract themselves because bodies with opposite charges attract each other, unlike bodies with same charges that repel each other.

What is the maximum value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave whose average intensity is 4.50 w/m2 ?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Average intensity of electromagnetic wave is given by

I= (speed of light*permittivity*sq. electric field)/2

Speed of light = 3x10^8 m/s
Permittivity = 8.85x10^-12

Therefore,
Electric field = sqrt (2I/ (speed of light xpermittivity)) = sqrt ((2*4.50)/(3*10^8*8.85*10^-12)) = 58.22 V/m

What is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point each second called?
denpristay [2]
Since waves are moving, we define frequency as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified unit of time. The unit commonly used is Hertz which is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.

Directions: Analyze and illustrate the given problems. Show your mathematical equations.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1. 2160 J

2. 2940 J

3. 64 J

Explanation:

1. Determination of the work done.

Weight (W) = 180 N

Height (h) = 12 m

Workdone =?

Wd = W × h

Wd = 180 × 12

Wd = 2160 J

Thus, the Workdone is 2160 J

2. Determination of the work done.

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Height (h) = 6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Workdone =?

Wd = mgh

Wd = 50 × 9.8 × 6

Wd = 2940 J

Thus, the Workdone is 2940 J

3. Determination of the work done.

Force (F) = 16 N

Distance (d) = 4 m

Workdone =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 16 × 4

Wd = 64 J

Thus, the Workdone is 64 J
