How does electroscope detect type of charge ?

Physics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

A 20-pound object is dropped from a 50-foot bridge onto the ground below it. A 50-pound object is dropped from a 100-foot cliff
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

here 20 lb object will hit the ground first

Explanation:

Acceleration of the object while it is dropped in air is given as

F = mg

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = g

so acceleration of the object is independent of the mass of the object

now time to reach the ground is given as

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

for 20 pound object

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(50)}{32}}

t_1 = 1.77 s

for 50 pound object

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{32}}

t_2 = 2.5 s

Is your increase in gravitational potential energy the same in both cases? When Climbing a mountain on a zigzag path and on a st
baherus [9]

Answer:

The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.

gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = distance ( vertical height )

A 2000 kg streetcar parked in a lot has a larger momentum than a 1000 kg car going 25 meters per second on the highway.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Other than the fact that momentum is a "vector" quantity I wouldn't know.

If the car had a momentum opposite to the chosen positive direction then its total momentum would be negative.

A circuit consists of a 9.3-mH coil, a 16.0-V battery, a parallel combination of a 19-Ω resistor and a 6.0-Ω resistor, and a swi
Alla [95]

Answer:

τ = 0.00203 seconds

Explanation:

The time constant τ in a R-L circuit is given by

τ = L/R

First we have to find out the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Since there is a parallel combination of 19 Ω and 6.0 Ω resistor

Req = 19*6/19+6

Req = 4.56 Ω

Now we can find out the time constant

τ = L/R

τ = 0.0093/4.56

τ = 0.00203 seconds

Therefore, the time constant of this circuit is 0.00203 seconds.
