It would be safe to stand on the insulated sphere since it is covered by a material that does not allow the passage of current or an insulator. With the insulator, the student can freely touch the sphere but without it, touching the sphere when it is charged is very dangerous as it would electrocute you since the charge from the sphere would freely flow onto your body. Insulators are being used to be able to protect humans from any danger in touching charged objects. Insulators have very high resistance to the flow of current through them. Examples are rubber, glass, cellulose, polystyrene and wood.

What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 6?
makkiz [27]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

1 × 10^-8 M

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

pH is given by the -log[H+] while

pOH is given by the -log[OH-]

But;

pH + pOH = 14

Thus; if pH is 6, then pOH = 8

pOH = 8

-log[OH-] = 8

[OH-] = 10^-8 M

The concentration of OH- ions at a pH of 6 is 1 × 10^-8 M

arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.
