Answer : Negative charge

Explanation :

An electrostatic precipitator is a device that is used to remove dust particles and smoke from a gas.

It consists of a stack of plates. The gas flows via the spaces between the wires. Then it passes to the stack of plates.

A high voltage power supply is applied between wires and the plates. A positive charge is applied to the set of wires and a negative charge is applied to the plates.

When a 100-N force acts horizontally on an 8.0-kg chair, the chair moves at a constant speed across the level floor. Which state

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The applied force is greater than the frictional force.

Explanation:

the chair moves at <u>a constant speed</u><u> </u><u>therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>not</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>or</u><u> </u><u>C</u><u>.</u>

if there is no friction then the chair <u>would accelerate and it would not be at a constant speed</u><u>.</u>

hence, the only possible answer is B.

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Explanation:

(After some research on web, we conclude that problem is not incomplete) The element "Part A" may lead to the false idea that question is incomplete. Correct form is presented below:

<em>A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 6.4 seconds apart. How far away did the impact occur? (Sound speed in the air: 343 meters per second, sound speed in concrete: 3000 meters per second)</em>

Sound is a manifestation of mechanical waves, which needs a medium to propagate themselves. Depending on the material, sound will take more or less time to travel a given distance. From statement, we know this time difference between air and concrete ( $\Delta t$ ), in seconds:

$\Delta t = t_{A}-t_{C}$ (1)

Where:

$t_{C}$ - Time spent by the sound in concrete, in seconds.

$t_{A}$ - Time spent by the sound in the air, in seconds.

By suposing that sound travels the same distance and at constant speed in both materials, we have the following expression:

$\Delta t = \frac{x}{v_{A}}-\frac{x}{v_{C}}$

$\Delta t = x\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} \right)$

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$ (2)

Where:

$v_{C}$ - Speed of the sound in concrete, in meters per second.

$v_{A}$ - Speed of the sound in the air, in meters per second.

$x$ - Distance traveled by the sound, in meters.

If we know that $\Delta t = 6.4\,s$ , $v_{C} = 3000\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{A} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the distance travelled by the sound is:

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$

$x = 2478.585\,m$

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

3) If an airplane is in flight cruising at constant velocity, what can be said about the net work

Crazy boy [7]

Explanation:

<h2>Yes!</h2>

<h3>In physics, constant velocity occurs when there is no net force acting on the object causing it to accelerate. In terms of airplane flight, the two main forces influencing its velocity forward are drag and thrust. At a constant altitude, when the force of thrust equals the opposing force of drag, then the airplane will experience uniform motion in one direction. This can be further explained by Newton’s First Law. </h3>

it is about 384,750 kilometers from earth to the moon. it took the apollo astronauts about 2 days and 19.5 hours to fly to the m

Jet001 [13]

We know, speed = Distance / Time
d = 384,750 Km
t = 2 days, 19.5 hours = 48+19.5 = 67.5 hour

Substitute their values,
s = 384,750 / 67.5
s = 5700 Km/h

In short, Your Answer would be 5700 Km/h

Hope this helps!

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o

Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ be the charges such that

$q_1+q_2=4.7$

and Force between charge particles is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}$

$q_1\cdot q_2=0.522$

put the value of $q_1$

$q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522$

$q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0$

$q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}$

$q_2=0.114 C$

thus $q_1=4.586 C$
