How do the charges compare when two objects are charged through friction?

Physics
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The objects become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.

Explanation:

There are three methods for charging objects:

- Conduction: a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object. Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral one, which also becomes charged

- Induction: a charged object is brought close (but not in contact) to a neutral object. The charges inside the neutral object redistribute, such that those of opposite sign to the charge in the charged object migrate on the side closer to the charged object, while the charges of same sign migrate towards the opposite side. If the neutral object is then grounded, the charges on the opposite side flow to the ground, leaving the neutral object charged as well

- Friction: two objects initially neutral are rubbed against each other. Electrons move from one object to the other one: therefore, one object becomes positively charged while the other one becomes negatively charged. Since the charge gained by one object is equal to charge lost by the other object, it follows that the two objects have same magnitude of charge, but with opposite sign.

Which of the following is not an application of Doppler technology?
Jlenok [28]
The correct answer to the question above is the third option; ultrasound imaging of the liver. The ultrasound imaging of the liver is definitely not an application of Doppler technology. If the Doppler technology is being used in medical field, it would be for the ultrasound of the heart and blood vessels for examination.

Does voltage flow in a circuit? Explain
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Voltage is the measure of specific potential energy (potential energy per unit charge) between two locations. ... When a voltage source is connected to a circuit, the voltage will cause a uniform flow of charge carriers through that circuit called a current.

Which has a greater buoyant force on it, a 25.0 cm3 piece of wood floating with part of its volume above water or a 25.0 cm3 pie
kozerog [31]

Answer:

piece of submerged iron

Explanation:

The buoyant force is given by:

B=\rho_L V_{sub} g

where

\rho_L is the density of the liquid (in this case, water)

V_{sub} is the submerged part of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, the liquid used in the two examples is the same, water, so \rho_L is the same; and g is the same as well. Therefore, the only difference between the two examples is V_{sub}.

For the piece of wood, we are told that the object is floating, so only a fraction of its total volume of 25.0 cm3 will be submerged: therefore the submerged volume will be less than 25.0 cm3. On the contrary, the problem tells us that the piece of iron is submerged, so the submerged volume in this case is 25.0 cm3. Therefore, the submerged volume for the iron is greater than for the piece of wood, so the buoyant force of the piece of iron is greater.

3. A car has a mass of 1000kg. What is its weight?<br><br> A) 9.81x10 ^ 3N<br> B) 1.89x10 ^ 3N
Strike441 [17]

Answer

A

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 1000 x 9.81

= 9810 or 9.81x10^ 3
