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.

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The Law of Conservation of Energy states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called Elastic Potential Energy (PE), transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called Kinetic Energy (KE). Since total energy must be constant:

$KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}$

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}$

$v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}$

$v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}$

$v=\sqrt{5}$

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

maks197457 [2]

No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space.
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.

klio [65]

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
$c=f \lambda$
where
f is the frequency
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
$c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is $f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}$ , so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}= 2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m$

sveticcg [70]

Given

v = 343 m/s

ac = 5g

ac = 5*9.8 m/s^2

ac = 49 m/s^2

where,

v: velocity

ac = centripetal aceleration

Procedure

We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration ac; centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking”.

Formula

$\begin{gathered} a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\ r=\frac{v^2}{a_c} \\ r=\frac{(343m/s)^2}{49m/s^2} \\ r=2401\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

The minimum radius not to exceed the centripetal acceleration is 2401 m.

How do you make a magnet with wire and electricity ?

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

By wrapping the wire along a solenoid and connecting it to electricity

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you wrap a copper wire into coils and run an electrical current through it, you will create a magnetic field. If you rotate a permanent magnet as opposed to an item that has been magnetized inside a coil of copper wire, you can create an electrical current. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding.
