Here we have been given two charged body W and X.

We are asked to determine the nature of charge.

Before coming into conclusion, first we have to understand the electric field lines.

The electric field lines are pictorial representation of imaginary lines which are drawn to denote the electric field in a graphical way.

The electric field line starts from a positive charge and ends at a negative charge.It means for positive charges the electric field lines are outward and for negative charges the filed lines will be inward.

In the given diagram,the filed lines for W is towards W itself.The same is also in case of X.

Hence both the charges must be negative in nature.

Hence the correct answer to the question will be B i.e W negative and X: NEGATIVE.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is the option B which is both points X and W are negative.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

In the above picture it is shown that There are two points W and X. The field of lines are entering to the both points.
There is no line which went to X from W or from X to W.
This Shows that both points have the same charge either positive or negative. Because both have repulsive force to each other.
Now it is known that electric field of lines always went from positive ion and enters to negative ions.
It means both points re negative as lines are entering both points.

In a collision, a 15 kg object moving with a velocity of 3 m/s transfers some of its momentum to a 5 kg object. What would be th

Misha Larkins [42]

The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter $p$ :

$p=mv$

The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:

$m_A=15,\quad v_A=3,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=0$

(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).

So, at the beginning, the total momentum is

$p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 3+5\cdot 0=45$

At the end, we have

$m_A=15,\quad v_A=1,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=x$

(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)

After the impact, the total momentum is

$p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 1+5\cdot x=15+5x$

Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for $x$ , and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.

To estimate the distance in kilometers of a flash of lightning, count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing

Triss [41]

Answer:

Divide by 3

Explanation:

In order to estimate the distance traveled by a lightening flash in kilometers, we follow these simple steps:

Make a count of the number of seconds in between the period a flash occur and the thunder accompanied by the lightening flash is heard.
Dive the total number of seconds by 3 to get the distance traveled by the flash. This is because in order to cover 1 km, it roughly takes 3 seconds.

Dovator [93]

John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.
