Describe what happens, at a microscopic level, when an object is charged by rubbing. For instance, what happens when a plastic p

ipe is rubbed with a cloth? Describe the specific case where the rod becomes negatively charged

Answer:

Explanation:

The static charges are generated due to excess or deficiency of electrons, because these are the smallest quanta of charge available at the molecular level which can get transferred with minimal energy requirement.

These charges are usually generated by friction between  the two surfaces leading to the transfer of electron from one to another.

When a plastic pipe is rubbed with a cloth then due to friction the surface of the cloth loses electron which gets stuck at the surface of the pipe making it negatively charged.

A car is initially traveling at 12 m/s when the driver sees a yellow light ahead. He accelerates at a constant 7 m/s^2 for 6 s i
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

v = 54m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a = 7m/s²

u = 12m/s

t = 6s

7 = (v-12)/6

v - 12 = 42

v = 54m/s

complete the following equation that represents the complete combustion of hexane in a car engine.C6H14 + O2
mina [271]

The balanced combustion reaction for butane is;

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mol

 

2.46g H2O(1 mol H2O/18.02g)(13 mol O2/10 mol H2O)(32g O2/1 mol O2) = 5.68g O2

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
