Why does a glass rod become positively charged when it is rubbed with a silk cloth?

Physics

The protons from the glass rod are transferred to the silk cloth.

The glass is the material creating the charge not the cloth. And the charge from the glass is positive while the charge from the silk is negative.

Answer: The electrons from the glass rod are transferred to the silk cloth.

When glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, there is transfer of electrons from the glass rod to the silk cloth. Hence, the glass rod becomes positively charged because of loss of electrons and silk cloth becomes negatively charged because of gain of electrons. This method of charging is known as charging by friction.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be hi
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The pressure that one experiences on the Mount Everest will be different from the one, in a classroom. It is because pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as we move up, the height keeps on increasing but the pressure will keep on decreasing. This is the case that will be observed when one stands on the Mount Everest as the pressure is comparatively much lower there.

It is because as we move up, the amount of air molecules keeps on decreasing but all of the air molecules are concentrated on the lower part of the atmosphere or on the earth's surface.

Thus a person in a low altitude inside a classroom will experience high pressure and a person standing on the Mount Everest will experience low pressure.

A stone is dropped from a cliff. What will be its speed when it was fallen 100 m?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

final velocity will be44.72m/s

Explanation:

HEIGHT=h=100m

vi=0m/s

vf=?

g=10m/s²

by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity

2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²

evaluating the formula

2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²

2000m²/s²=vf²

√2000m²/s²=√vf²

44.72m/s=vf

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance?
WINSTONCH [101]
When you heat something of cool it down you don't change the substance you might change the why is looks, but it is still the same substance. For example you cool water to 0 degrees Celsius it turns into ice but it still is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen H2O. Physical changes will change state and/or form but it will still be what it originally was on the molecular level. Hope that helped.

A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .
