A negatively charged iron ball on the end of a plastic rod exerts a strong attractive force on a penny even though the penny is

neutral. how is this possible?

The negatively charged rod cause charge migration within the penny. So, the protons and electrons in the penny move to seperate sides of the penny with the protons on the side closest to the iron ball. Then the penny could have been touched by a person or another object to ground the penny, removing the excess electrons in the penny. This is called charging by induction. So after grounding, the penny becomes positively charged. Opposite charges attract

Silver has a mass of 10.5 grams and a volume of 19.3 cm3. What is its density?
Neko [114]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{10.5}{19.3}  \\  = 0.54404145...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

An electric motor is connected to a battery. The current flows through brushes to a commutator ring, which is attached to a elec
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.

Explanation:

In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.

So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.

This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.

So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/sec^2

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}

l=3.987m

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m
