Explain how a charged amber rod can lift tiny bits of paper despite being under the gravitational force of the entire mass of th

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.

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

Explain why engineers leave a gap in a concrete bridge (answer must relate to density)
seraphim [82]
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
