Answer:

On removal to the glass rod the leaves of the electroscope will disperse away under the influence of the positive charge due to deficiency of electrons.

Explanation:

When a glass rod is rubbed against a nylon then the electrons from the surface of the glass rod get transferred to the nylon piece and as a result the glass rod attains positive electrostatic charge.

When this positively charged rod is brought close to the knob of an electroscope then the electrons from that metallic of the electroscope feel attraction and move toward the glass rod get concentrated on the knob.

  • In this situation when any of our body part comes in direct contact to the knob these static concentrated charges get a path to flow from high concentration to a lower concentration under the influence of the electrostatic force of the rod.
  • So these charges flow into our body from the knob.
  • Our body acts as a reservoir for the charges on the metallic knob.
  • Now after the electrons form the knob are transferred to the person's body the electroscope becomes electron deficient and hence positively charged.
  • So now, on removal to the glass rod the leaves of the electroscope will disperse away under the influence of the positive charge.

What is the carrying capacity of an ecosystem
abruzzese [7]

n ecological terms, the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the size of the population that can be supported indefinitely upon the available resources and services of that ecosystem. Living within the limits of an ecosystem depends on three factors:

<span>the amount of resources available in the ecosystem,the size of the population, and<span>the amount of resources each individual is consuming.</span></span>

In a machine shop, a hydraulic lift is used to raise heavy equipment for repairs. The system has a small piston with a cross-sec
Mrac [35]

Answer:

F_s=1075.9493\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • area of piston on the smaller side of hydraulic lift, a_s=0.075\ m^2
  • area of piston on the larger side of hydraulic lift, a_l=0.237\ m^2
  • Weight of the engine on the larger side, W_l=3400\ N

Now, using Pascal's law which state that the pressure change in at any point in a confined continuum of an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid at its each point.

P_s=P_l

\frac{F_s}{a_s}=\frac{W_l}{a_l}

\frac{F_s}{0.075} =\frac{3400}{0.237}

F_s=1075.9493\ N is the required effort force.

A centripetal-acceleration addict rides in uniform circular motion with period T = 2.0 s and radius r = 3.00 m. At t1 his accele
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

centripetal acceleration always points  towards the center of the circular path and velocity of object in circular motion always points towards the tangent on the the circle in this way centripetal acceleration and velocity are perpendicular to each other and the dot product of  perpendicular vectors is always zero,

therefore v•a=vacosα...........(1)

here α is angle between centripetal acceleration and velocity which is 90

therfore,

From equation (1)

v.a= vacos90

v.a=vax0..............(because cos90=0)

v.a=0 m^2

centripetal acceleration vector points towards center  it means it point towards inwards direction, so it lies along the radius vector,and radius vector points towards outward direction of the circle in this way centripetal acceleration and radius vector are in exact opposite direction so angle between them is 180 degree,

therefore r x a = rasin180

rxa=rax0            (because sin180=0)

rxa=0m^2/s^2 .
