5.why does the pointer rotate?​

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

From the experiment set up in the diagram, the pointer is resting on the drinking straw while the rod is resting on the drinking straw.

When the rod is being heated through the bursen burner, there will be linear expansion in the rod. As the rod increases its length, this causes the drinking straw to roll and thereby causing the pointer to rotate.

The pointer therefore rotates because of the thermer expansion that happen in the rod due to the heat from the bursen burner.

A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

The force that binds atoms together to form molecules is
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is the force that acts between any particles having mass. It is relevant only on very large scales (planets, stars), since it is the weakest of the 4 forces, so very large masses are needed in order to produce relevant effects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force that acts between particles with electric charge. It can be attractive or repulsive. It is the main force that acts between atoms and molecules.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that keeps the protons and the neutrons together inside the nucleus. It acts only on very short scales (only within the nucleus of the atom)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for the radioactive decays of certain nuclei. It also acts on very short scales.

Therefore, the force that is responsible for binding atoms together to form molecules is the electromagnetic force.
