Suppose that you have a rod that is positively charged, a rod that is negatively charged and a stand that allows rotation. If yo

u are handed a polystyrene rod of unknown charge-state, how could you determine if it has a positive charge, a negative charge or if it is uncharged? Explain what happens to the unknown rod if it has a positive charge, a negative charge or if it is uncharged.

Answer:

Explanation:

A charge is produced when an atom losses or gains an electron. The law of static electricity states that like charges repels, while unlike charges attracts.

1. To determine the charge on the polystyrene rod.

Place the polystyrene rod on the non-conducting rotating stand, and bring the positively charged rod close to it. If attraction occurs, it shows that it is oppositely charged. If repulsion occurs, it shows that it is positively charged.

Bringing a negatively charged rod close to the rotating polystyrene rod would attract it if the charge is opposite. But if the charge on the two rods are the same, repulsion occurs.

2a. When the polystyrene rod is positively charged, it would attract the negatively charged rod but repel the positively charged rod.

b. When the polystyrene rod is negatively charged, it would repel the negatively charged rod but attract the positively charged rod.

c. When the polystyrene rod is uncharged, no reaction would be observed when either the positively charged or negatively charged rod is brought close to it.

What have we learned from the work of harlow shapley and others about the location of the sun in the milky way galaxy?.
marin [14]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3></h3><h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was based in Boulder, Colorado, utilised Cepheid variable stars to determine the Milky Way Galaxy's size and the Sun's location within it through the use of parallax. He put out his "liquid water belt" theory, now referred to as the idea of a livable zone, in 1953.

Milky way Galaxy-

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.

A rigid dam is composed of material of SG = 5 . The dam height is 20 m . What is the minimum thickness b of the dam necessary to
Kay [80]

Answer:

b = 5.164 m is the minimum thickness of the dam

Explanation:

Given

SG = 5

h = 20 m

b = ?

w = 1 m

γw = 9800 N/m³

We  can get the forces as follows

Fp =  γw*(h/2)*(h*w)

⇒ Fp = (9800 N/m³)*(20 m/2)*(20 m*1 m) = 1.96*10⁶N

W = (SG*γw)*(h*b*w)

⇒  W = (5*9800 N/m³)*(20 m*b*1 m) = (9.8*10⁵N/m)*b

Then, we apply

∑M₀ = 0  (counterclockwise)

- Fp*(h/3) + W*(b/2) = 0

⇒   - 1.96*10⁶N*(20 m/3) + (9.8*10⁵N/m)*b*(b/2) = 0

- 13.066*10⁶N-m + (4.9*10⁵N/m)*b² = 0

⇒  b = 5.164 m is the minimum thickness of the dam

Birdman is flying horizontally at a
den301095 [7]

Answer:

68 m

Explanation:

Given that the horizontal velocity of the birdman = 17 m/s and

the height, h= 78 m.

The gravitational force is acting in the downward direction, so it will not change the horizontal speed.

The horizontal speed will remains be constant and will be equal to the initial horizontal speed of the turd.

Initially, the turd was also flying horizontally with the birdman, so the initial velocity of the turd is the same as the horizontal velocity of the birdman, i.e In the horizontal direction, u_0=17 m/s.

In the vertical direction, u = 0,

The distance to be traveled, in the direction of application of force, is equals to the height of the turd, i.e

s= 78 m

Let t be the time taken to cover a distance of 78 m.

Now, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction,

s=ut+\frac 12 at^2

where u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration due to gravity in the direction of displacement,s.

Here, a=g=9.81 m/s^2, so

78=0\times t +\frac 12 (9.81)t^2

\Rightarrow t^2=(78\times2)/9.81

\Rightarrow t = 4 seconds.

Hence, the time taken to reach the ground is 4 seconds.

As the horizontal speed, u_0=17 m/s, is constant throughout the journey, so

the horizontal distance covered by turd

= u\times t

= 17 \times 4 = 68 m.

So, the distance of landing from the start of the field is 68 m as the birdman releases a turd directly  above the start of the field.

Hence, the robot must hold the bucket at a distance of 68 m from the start of the field.
