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

vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during
attashe74 [19]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during "how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Moon is in sequential rotation with Earth, and thus displays the Sun, the close side, always on the same side. Thanks to libration, Earth can display slightly greater than half (nearly 59 per cent) of the entire lunar surface.

The side of the Moon facing Earth is considered the near side, and the far side is called the reverse. The far side is often referred to as the "dark side" inaccurately but it is actually highlighted as often as the near side: once every 29.5 Earth days. During the New Moon the near side becomes blurred.
