Answer:
The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.
Explanation:
This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.
Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.
So, the leaves move further apart.
What’s the answer choices to pick from?
Answer:
Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction
Explanation:
the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)
And the change in time:
Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:
Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.
Thus, the speed is:
An the velocity is:
6cm/s in the negative direction
