Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

This question seeks to test a general rule in physics (on charges) which states that <u>like charges repel but unlike charges attract</u>. This means that, a negatively charged substance will repel or not attract another negatively charged material and the same applies to a positively charged substance also. However, a <u>negatively charged substance will attract a positively charged material and vice versa,</u> hence only a negatively charged rod will attract a positively charged hanging ball.

A packing crate is sitting at rest on an inclined loading ramp. How does the magnitude of the force of static friction compare t
eduard

As a crate is resting on the inclined surface of the ramp we have following forces on the crate

1. Weight of the crate vertically downwards

2. Normal force due to ramp perpendicular to the surface

3. static friction force along the ramp upwards

so here we know that crate is at rest

so we can say that

normal force is balanced by component of weight of crate

so we have

N = mg cos\theta

also we can say that friction force is balanced by another component of weight of the crate

F_f = mg sin\theta

so friction force is less than the weight of the crate and it will act opposite to it

Ivahew [28]
Each Celsius degree is the size of 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. So you need dip your Fahrenheit thermometer into the sample, see where you're starting, and then warm it up to a temperature that reads (37.1 x 1.8) = 66.8 Fahreheit degrees higher.

An entomologist (bug scientist) wants to determine if temperature changes how many times a cricket chirps. What is the dependent
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Number of times a cricket chirps.

Explanation:

Let us use a graph to understand the function Here the entomologist wants to know the effect of temperature on the number of chirps of a cricket so, the chirps should vary with temperature. The opposite cannot be true i.e., the temperature is not dependent on the number of chirps rather the number of chirps are dependent on temperature.

So, the x axis will be represent the temperature and the y axis will represent the number of chirps.

Hence, the dependent variable will be number of times a cricket chirps i.e., the y axis.
