Answer: Electroscope can measure the amount and type of charge.

Explanation: Electroscope is a scientific instrument which is detect the charge on the object. its explains weather the object charged or not.

We use a gold-leaf electroscope when an object brought near a plate then we test the presence of the charge of the object if the object is charged then gold leaf will repel and if the object will uncharged then gold leaf will not responded.

Hence, we can say that Electroscope can measure the amount and type of charge.

The applicable answer/s are

- Electroscopes can measure the amount and type of charge, not to explicit to only one but both. and it is not made of of insulating materials instead it is made up of conductive materias.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false

kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 6100 rpm. When the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in

MissTica

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion to find the angular acceleration:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

$\omega_f$ is the final angular velocity in rad/s

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular velocity in rad/s

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time taken

Given the following

$\omega_f = 6100rpm$

Time = 4.1secs

Convert the angular velocity to rad/s

1rpm = 0.10472rad/s

6100rpm = x

x = 6100 * 0.10472

x = 638.792rad/s

$\omega_f = 638.792rad/s\\$

Get the angular acceleration:

Recall that:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

638.792 = 0 + ∝(4.1)

4.1∝ = 638.792

∝ = 638.792/4.1

∝ = 155.80rad/s

<em>Hence the angular acceleration as the blades slow down is 155.80rad/s</em>

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

$I = mr^2$

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

$I\omega = constant$

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

A 5.3 kg cat and a 2.5 kg bowl of tuna fish are at opposite ends of the 4.0-m-long seesaw. how far to the left of the pivot must

nika2105 [10]

Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.

The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m

Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)
