4 0

Explanation:

When a charged amber rod is brought near the tiny bits of paper. The bits of paper are neutral. There is an electrostatic force of attraction between the amber rod and tiny bits of paper.

The charged amber rod attracts or repel the bits of paper depending on the charge of amber rod. The electrostatic force is much stronger than the gravitational force.

Therefore, a charged amber rod can lift tiny bits of paper despite being under the gravitational force of the entire mass of the earth.

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan
gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

Two 4.3546 cm x 4.3546 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.6408 mm apart are connected to a 73.68 V battery. What is the cap
Helen [10]

Answer:

Capacitance, C = 26.1 picofarad

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of square, x = 4.3546 cm = 0.043546 m

Distance between electrodes, d = 0.6408 mm = 0.0006408 m

Voltage, V = 73.68 V

Capacitance of parallel plates is given by :

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_oA}{d}

C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times (0.043546)^2}{0.0006408}

C=2.61\times 10^{-11}\ F

or

C = 26.1 picofarad

So, the capacitance of the capacitor is 26.1 picofarad. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

see explanations below

Explanation:

At the point when the car leaves the track, the reaction on the road is zero, meaning that the centrifugal force equals the gravitation force, namely

mv^2/r = mg

Solve for v in SI units

v^2 = gr = 9.81 m/s^2 * 14.2 m = 139.302 m^2/s^2

v = sqrt(139.302) = 11.8 m/s

Answer: at 11.8 m/s (26.4 mph) car will leave the track.
