A plastic rod that has been charged to -21 nc touches a metal sphere. afterward, the rod's charge is -8 nc. (a) what kind of cha

rged particle was transferred between the rod and the sphere, and in which direction? that is, did it move from the rod to the sphere or from the sphere to the rod?

The rod transferred negatively charged particle to the metal sphere. The rod becomes less negatively charged than it was originally (originally it was charged to -21 nc, now it has -8, and -8>-21), so it must have moved 13 nc of negative charge to the sphere.

What transfers energy in the form of vibrating electric and magnetic fields?
Rashid [163]
Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. They transfer energy through matter or across space. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. ... The two vibrating fields together form an electromagnetic wave.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.

The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.

Compare physical changes and chemical changes
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume
