Answer:

X is Positive

Y is Negative

Explanation:

Okay, so this is just a matter of what we define the characteristics of positive and negative charges to be.

Positive charges are defined as "sources". This means that the electric fields that they produce are taken to be moving away from the charge itself. So when we draw electric filed lines, the arrows coming from them are directed away from the charge.

Oppositely so, negative charges are defined as "sinks". This means that the electric fields that they produce are taken to be toward/into the charge itself. So when we draw electric filed lines, the arrows coming from them are directed toward/into the charge.

(You can think of positive charges as sink faucets and negative charges as the drain.)

So in the case of a dipole interaction like the one you have shown, look at the arrows on the field lines and see which charge appears to be the "source" and which appears to be the "sink". In this case, X looks to be a source, so it is positive and Y appears to be the sink, so it is negative.

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?

ki77a [65]

What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.

Difference between electrolytes and nonelectrolytes.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Electrolytes are salts or molecules that ionize completely in solution. As a result, electrolyte solutions readily conduct electricity. Nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution; nonelectrolyte solutions do not, therefore, conduct electricity

A student is wearing a pair of sunglasses designed to reduce the glare from reflected surfaces. When the student tilts her head

agasfer [191]

The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.

A ball is dropped from rest from a height h above the ground. another ball is thrown vertically upwards from the ground at the i

Darya [45]

The position of the first ball is

$y_1=h-\dfrac g2t^2$

while the position of the second ball, thrown with initial velocity $v$ , is

$y_2=vt-\dfrac g2t^2$

The time it takes for the first ball to reach the halfway point satisfies

$\dfrac h2=h-\dfrac g2t^2$

$\implies\dfrac h2=\dfrac g2t^2$

$\implies t=\sqrt{\dfrac hg}$

We want the second ball to reach the same height at the same time, so that

$\dfrac h2=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-\dfrac g2\left(\sqrt{\dfrac hg}\right)^2$

$\implies h=2v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-g\left(\dfrac hg\right)$

$\implies h=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}$

$\implies v=\sqrt{hg}$

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

Anna007 [38]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. For this purpose we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a given period of time. Here the distance is equivalent to the orbit traveled around the earth, that is, a circle. Approaching the height of the aircraft with the radius of the earth, we will have the following data,

$R= 6370*10^3 m$
