State clearly how the pith ball electroscope may be used to test for the kind of charge on a body

Physics

PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
5 0
An object with a known charge is first brought close to the ball so as to induce the opposite charge. Lets say we brought a positive object, so the ball will be negatively charged. Afterwards, the object with the unknown charge is brought closer. If the ball is attracted, then the object is positively charged and if it is repelled then the object is negatively charged.

What is the period of a simple pendulum 47 cm long (a) on the Earth, and ( b) when it is in a freely falling elevator?
Liula [17]

Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm              ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

a)

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}

Here

g_{eff}= g

Now by putting the values

T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}

T=1.37 s

b)

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

g_{eff}= 0            ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}

T=∞  (Infinite)

How does the antenna work to detect the electromagnetic signal produced when radio stations broadcast
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The antenna which is a transmitting and receiving device emits energy from current as radio waves, it does this by attracting the radio waves which are a form of EMWs and converts it to small voltages which are amplified to the final voltage signal which hear

Explain the cause of atmospheric pressure
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. It seems silly , but you have to rememeber that the air is full of molecules of different elements ( nitrogen , oxygen , CO2 , etc ... ) and the have atomic weight.
Thats why there is less pressure on top of you when you are at greater altitudes , there is less air above you.

Hope it helps !
It would be awesome if you marked this awnser as Branliest! Thx :)
