Answer:

b. the object is negatively charged

Explanation:

When a positively charged insulating rod is brought close to an object which gets attracted  towards it, then it certainly means that the object is negatively charged because we know from the basics of electrostatics that unlike charges attract each other.

We cannot know the conductivity of the object just by being in proximity of it.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that opposite charges tend to attract each other whereas like charges tend to repel each other.

For example, when a positively charged insulating rod is brought close to an object and the object gets attracted towards the rod then it means that a negative charge is present on the object.

This is because both the object and rod gets attracted towards each other and only opposite charges tends to attract each other.

Thus, we can conclude that if the given object is attracted toward the rod we can conclude that the object is negatively charged.

Your tutor tells you that an ampere (A) and a volt (V) measure the same thing and that the different terms just make a simple co
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Your tutor is completely wrong here. Ampere and volt are both completely different concept. Ampere measure current in circuit, whereas volt measure the potential difference across two points in circuit. It is due to this difference in the potential that leads to flow of current in the circuit. The potential difference is the cause and current is the effect.

A car moving 20 km/h skids 30 m with locked brakes. how far will the car skid with locked breaks if it were traveling at 100 km/
Inessa05 [86]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Since the 'speed' in the KE formula is squared, if the car's speed
increases by 5 times, its kinetic energy increases by (5²) = 25 times.

The loss of kinetic energy in a skid is just the wo0rk done by friction
between the tires and pavement.  So the skid distance is proportional
to the initial kinetic energy, and the car must skid 25 times as far when
it enters the skid at the higher speed.

         25 x 30m  =  750 meters

What frequency is received by the ambulance after reflecting from a wall near the person watching the oncoming ambulance (as in
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

f=896Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Vs(speed of the ambulance)={(104 km/h)*(1000m*(1 h/3600)}=28.9m/s

f(frequency of the ambulance siren)=821 Hz

v(speed of sound)=345 m/s

Vo(speed of the observer)=0 m/s

To find

f(The ambulance is approaching the person)

Solution

From Doppler effect

f^{i}=(\frac{v+v_{o} }{v-v_{s} })f

As the ambulance approaches the we assign a positive sign for speed "vs" of the ambulance

So

f^{i}=(\frac{v+0}{v-(+v_{s}) } )f\\f^{i}=(\frac{v}{v-v_{s} } )f

Substitute the values from given data

f^{i}=(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-28.9m/s} )821Hz\\f^{i}=896Hz
