An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil p

rotected from air disturbances in a jar, as shown. When the ball is touched by a charged body, the leaves that normally hang straight down spread apart. Why? (Electroscopes ate useful not only as charge detectors but also for measuring the quantity of charge: the more charge transferred to the ball, the more the leaves diverge.)

Answer:

the electroscope separate  by the presence of charge carriers

Explanation:

Metal bodies are characterized by having free (mobile) electrons. In the electroscope the plates are in balance; when the external metal ball is touched, a charge is introduced into the device, when the body that touched the ball is separated, an excess charge remains. This charge, being a metal, is distributed over the entire surface, giving a uniform density and an electric force of repulsion is created between the two charged sheets, which tends to separate the sheets. This force is counteracted by the tension component as the sheets are separated at a given angle, the separation reaches the point where

                  Fe - Tx = 0

                  Fe = Tx

In summary, the electroscope separate its leaves by the presence of charge carriers

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in term
MArishka [77]

Answer:

N_{y} =NcosФ,

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

Explanation:

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in terms of the length of the vector NNN and the angle θθtheta, with the components separated by a comma.

Vectors are quantities that  have both magnitude and direction while scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

This a vector quantity

from the diagram the horizontal component of the length of the vector will be

N_{y} =NcosФ

the vertical component will be

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

this is in the opposite direction because the x can be extrapolated to the negative axis

: The maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs at the steam point and at room temperature
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The value is   \eta  =  0.2145  or  21.45%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The first reservoir is at steam point  T_s =  100^o C =  100 + 273 = 373 \ K  

    The  second reservoir is at room temperature T_r  =  20^o C = 293 \ K

Generally the  maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine  is mathematically evaluated as

     \eta  =  1- \frac{T_r}{T_s}

=>    1 - \frac{ 293}{373}

=>    \eta  =  0.2145

3. Identify three elements and three compounds. How are they<br> similar? How are they different?
Basile [38]

Answer:  A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.

In order to simulate weightlessness for astronauts in training, they are flown in a vertical circle. if the passengers are to ex
sleet_krkn [62]
The answer is "156.6 m/s".

This is how we calculate this;

-N + mg = ma = mv²/r

For "weightlessness" N = 0, so

0 = mg - mv²/r 

g - v²/r = 0 

v =√( gr)
g = 9.8 and r = 2.5km = 2500 m

v = √(9.8 x 2500)

= 156.6 m/s
