Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.

What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 400Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 meters
iren2701 [21]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Let’s take for instance the case of a wave with a frequency of 400 Hz going through a material at a speed of .5 m/s. The wavelength result is 12 m. Wave velocity (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)
