A person has long hair hanging straight down from their head. A second person rubs a balloon with felt so that the balloon is ne

gatively charged, then brings it near the first person's hair without allowing the balloon to touch the hair. They notice that strands of the first person's hair are attracted to the balloon. The second person then rubs another balloon with plastic wrap so that it is positively charged, and again they notice that the balloon attracts strands of the first person's hair. Which is the best explanation for the attraction of the hair to the balloon

Answer:

<em>The best explanation is that the first person is grounded to the earth, and his/her body either draws up negative charges from the earth, or tend to conducts negative charges to the earth, depending on the charge on the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

The earth is an infinite store for charges. In the first case where the second person brings a negatively charged balloon towards the first person, the negative charges on the balloon induces the first person's body to tend to attract the negative charges on the balloon through the first person's body to the positive charges within the earth. In the second case when again a positively charged balloon is brought near the first person's hair, the positive charges on the balloon induce the first person's body into drawing up negative charges from within the earth. This charges, and their opposite induced charges, create an attractive force between the hair strands and the balloons.

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = 14.7cm^3   1cm^3=1ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explain how this sand dune was created using the words weathering, erosion, and deposition.
MissTica

By abrasion, the sediment in the wind promotes erosion. The wind scatters sand, sand dunes created. When clay and silt are deposited by the wind. The presence of vegetation ground helps stop wind erosion.

<h3>What  is an erosion ?</h3>

Earthen materials were worn away during erosion, a geological process in which they are moved by water or wind. Weathering, a related process that does not involve movement, dissolves and breaks down rock.

<h3>What is caused by erosion?</h3>

The process through which the Earth's surface ages is known as erosion. Natural forces like wind or glacier ice can create erosion. But when it comes to altering the Earth, nothing compares to a slow, constant movement of water, as anyone who has ever seen a picture of a Grand Canyon will attest.

What are the rules for setting up an integral of rotation?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

<span>First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general  function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].</span>

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

<span>It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate  the integral.</span>
