jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the two dissimilar bodies rubbed together, they the both of the bodies becomes charged. One of the body gets positive charge and the other body gets negative charge.

the positively charged body loses some electrons and the negatively charged body gains some electrons.

According to the properties of charge when the plastic rod is rubbed with the fur, the plastic rod has a tendency to get the negative charge and the fur has a tendency to get positive charge.

So,

When we rub a plastic rod with a piece of fur, electrons--------------transfer from fur----------------to the -------plastic-----. In the result charging fur with -positive-----------charge and plastic rod with-----negative--------charge.

Help ASAP PLEASE.............:3​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

temperature measures heat - the unit is Celsius - and it is measured with a thermometer.

length is measuring how long, tall, or wide something is  - the base unit it metres - and it is measured with a ruler or a metre stick

volume is measuring the quantity of a three dimensional space - the unit is cubic centimetre - you find volume by taking the measurements with a ruler

mass is measuring how much space something takes up/ weight - unit is the gram - you use a scale

A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f
MaRussiya [10]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.

In this way,

The total mass of the cars would be,

m_T = 25(7.7*10^4)Kg

m_T = 1.925*10^6Kg

Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,

f=250v

f= 250*29Km/h

f = 250*29*(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

f = 2013.889N

In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,

T=m_Ta+f

T=(1.925*10^6)(0.2)+2013.889

T= 3.8701*10^5N

Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is 3.87*10^5N

Calculate the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m
otez555 [7]

Answer: The period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 5 kg

Spring constant = 6 N/m

Formula used to calculate period is as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}

where,

T = period

m = mass

k = spring constant

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt\frac{m}{k}\\= 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt\frac{5}{6}\\= 5.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the period of a spring if it has a mass of 5 kg and a spring constant of 6 N/m is 5.73 sec.
