Answer:

A. a jury

Explanation:

In the United States, criminal offenses that are punishable by jail time of over 6 months can be decided by a jury trial, in which an anonymous group of people (the jury) determine whether the defendant is guilty or innocent.

If the jury's verdict is an acquittal, all criminal charges against the accused are dropped. If the jury's verdict is that the person is guilty, the judge proceeds to establish the sentence.

Answer:

b) electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close

Explanation:

What causes a pithball to move is when "electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close".

The pithball electroscope is actually used to test if a body is charged or not. When a charged body is brought near the pithball, the ball moves. The movement of that charged body reveal that there are electrons it is carrying.

The pithball can actually be charged. It is charged by touching a charged object to it. This leads to some of the charges on the surface of the charged object moving to the surface of the ball. The pith-ball electroscope was invented by John Canton, a British schoolmaster and physicist in 1754.

Many americans feared immigration because they thought that immigrants:
natali 33 [55]
<span>Because they thought that immigrants </span>would take occupations and jobs from Americans and they additionally fear the foreigners would bring down the country way of life and breed wrongdoing and infection in the US.

Immigration has been questionable in this nation as far back as its beginning. At the core of the contention is fear. The genuine issue with migrants is, and dependably has been, the dread that these foreigners will overpower and undermine the lifestyle that makes America great. It is actually an irony given the fact that the nation as it stands now is a nation of immigrants :)
