acted or repelled?

Answer:

Attracted I believe.

Explanation:

A plastic rod is an insulator if rubbed by say a dish cloth and the "free" electrons from the plastic rod transfer to the cloth then the rod becomes positively charged because of the loss if it's electrons upsetting the balance of positive/negative charge The cloth receiving the electrons becomes negatively charged.

Positive and negative charges attract like when you rub a balloon on your hair and it sticks. Although they both were originally neutral "having the same positive and negative"

the balloon loses some of it's electrons becoming positive whilst your hair becomes negative although they just transferred from each other the two will still attract one another now that their is an unbalance.

Reil [10]

speed = distance \div time
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

7250 \div 5 = 1450
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

An unlabeled hierarchical diagram of various astronomical bodies is shown below. The labels A, B, C, and D can be used to repres
Paha777 [63]
A) The biggest astronomical object is the Universe, which contains billions of galaxies among which there is the Milky Way.
The Milky Way contains thousands of planetary systems, among which the Solar System.
The Solar System contains many <span>planets <span>(but only one star, the Sun)</span>,</span> among which there is Earth.
Therefore you can label:
A = Universe, B = Milky Way, C = Solar system, D = Earth

b) Given what we said before, you could label D also any other planet in the Solar System, therefore you can choose among Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD D=1.4

Second bright fringe y_2= 0.803 m

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}

Where

d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}

d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

A bag of cement has a mass of 62 g. What is the mass of the bag of cement in S.I. units (kg)?
NNADVOKAT [17]

The mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg) is equal to 0.062 kilograms.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cement = 62 grams.

To calculate the mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg):

<h3>How to convert to S.I. units.</h3>

In Science, kilograms (kg) is the standard unit of measurement or S.I. units of the mass of a physical object. Thus, we would convert the value of the mass of this bag of cement in grams to kilograms (kg) as follows:

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilograms.

62 grams = X kilograms.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = \frac{62}{1000}

X = 0.062 kilograms.

At which of the following temperature and pressure levels would a gas be most likely to follow the ideal gas law? A. 0 K and 100
bulgar [2K]
The Ideal Gas Law makes a few assumptions from the Kinetic-Molecular Theory. These assumptions make our work much easier but aren't true under all conditions. The assumptions are,

1) Particles of a gas have virtually no volume and are like single points.
2) Particles exhibit no attractions or repulsions between them.
3) Particles are in continuous, random motion.
4) Collisions between particles are elastic, meaning basically that when they collide, they don't lose any energy.
5) The average kinetic energy is the same for all gasses at a given temperature, regardless of the identity of the gas.

It's generally true that gasses are mostly empty space and their particles occupy very little volume. Gasses are usually far enough apart that they exhibit very little attractive or repulsive forces. When energetic, the gas particles are also in fairly continuous motion, and without other forces, the motion is basically random. Collisions absorb very little energy, and the average KE is pretty close.

Most of these assumptions are dependent on having gas particles very spread apart. When is that true? Think about the other gas laws to remember what properties are related to volume.

A gas with a low pressure and a high temperature will be spread out and therefore exhibit ideal properties.

So, in analyzing the four choices given, we look for low P and high T.

A is at absolute zero, which is pretty much impossible, and definitely does not describe a gas. We rule this out immediately.

B and D are at the same temperature (273 K, or 0 °C), but C is at 100 K, or -173 K. This is very cold, so we rule that out.

We move on to comparing the pressures of B and D. Remember, a low pressure means the particles are more spread out. B has P = 1 Pa, but D has 100 kPa. We need the same units to confirm. Based on our metric prefixes, we know that kPa is kilopascals, and is thus 1000 pascals. So, the pressure of D is five orders of magnitude greater! Thus, the answer is B.
