Answer:

a. The object will attract the glass rod.

b. The object will repel the glass rod.

Explanation:

a. When you rub a plastic rod with wool, it becomes negatively charged. This is because the wool material loses some of its electrons to the plastic rod. The wool becomes positively charged while the plastic rod becomes negatively charged.

Hence, for an object to repel the negatively charged plastic rod, it must also be negatively charged. This is because objects with like charges repel one another.

On the other hand, when you rub a glass rod with a silk material, it becomes positively charged. This is because the glass rod loses its electrons to the silk material. The silk material then becomes negatively charged, while the glass rod becomes positively charged.

Therefore, the negatively charged object will attract the already positively charged glass rod.

b. For an object to attract a negatively charged plastic rod, then it must be positively charged, since unlike charges attract.

So, a positively charged object will repel the negatively charged glass rod.

Tarik winds a small paper tube uniformly with 183 turns 183 turns of thin wire to form a solenoid. The tube's diameter is 9.49 m

Rufina [12.5K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

143μH

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The inductance (L) of a coil wire (e.g solenoid) is given by;

L = μ₀N²A / l --------------(i)

Where;

l = the length of the solenoid

A = cross-sectional area of the solenoid

N= number of turns of the solenoid

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

<em>From the question;</em>

N = 183 turns

l = 2.09cm = 0.0209m

diameter, d = 9.49mm = 0.00949m

A = π d² / 4 [Take π = 3.142 and substitute d = 0.00949m]

A = 3.142 x 0.00949² / 4

A = 7.1 x 10⁻⁵m²

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

L = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 183² x 7.1 x 10⁻⁵ / 0.0209 [Take π = 3.142]

L = 4(3.142) x 10⁻⁷ x 183² x 7.1 x 10⁻⁵ / 0.0209

L = 143 x 10⁻⁶ H

L = 143 μH

Therefore the inductance in microhenrys of the Tarik's solenoid is 143

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di

jeyben [28]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at $20^0\ C$ is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$ ........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$d=\dfrac{v}{2f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}$

$d=0.25\ m$

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

$d=n\lambda$ ( n = integers )
