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?

sasho [114]4 years ago

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

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

How energy and power are different ???
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy is what makes change happen and can be transferred form one object to another. ... Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. It is not energy but is often confused with energy. The watt is the most commonly used unit of measure for power.

State the success of j j Thompson model theory​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.

Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."

9. Does a blackbody radiator emit light waves? Explain.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

"A blackbody is an object that absorbs all of the radiation that it receives(that is,it does not reflect any light,nor does it allow any light to pass through it and out the other side).The energy that the blackbody absorbs heats it up,and then it will emit its own radiation."
