An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil p

rotected from air disturbance in a jar. When the ball is touched by a charged body, the leaves that normally hang straight down, spread apart. Why?

Answer:

When the same charge spreads in the foil of the electroscope then there is a repulsion between the similarly charged foil.

Explanation:

An electroscope is a device which has metallic foil inside a sealed glass flask preventing in form external environmental disturbances. There is a ball connected to the foil via a conductor.

When the ball is touched by a charged body then the charge is conducted from the body to the ball via conductor to the foils of the electroscope. When the same charge spreads in the foil of the electroscope then there is a repulsion between the similarly charged foil.

When the charge is supplied to any metallic body then it spreads over the surface of the metal so as to minimize the force of repulsion between the similar charges.

Explain why dogs pant during hot summer days using the evaporation concept?
damaskus [11]
All, or almost all, warm-blooded creatures get rid of excess heat by evaporating moisture from their bodies. It's a great system, because evaporation takes a lot of heat. That's the reason people perspire when we're active and build up a lot of heat inside. The evaporation of sweat from our skin carries away heat with it. Dogs do not sweat on their skin. The only place they can evaporate moisture is through their mouth. Panting speeds up the evaporation by blowing air across the moisture.

At resonance, what is impedance of a series RLC circuit? less than R It depends on many other considerations, such as the values
denis23 [38]

Answer:

at resonance impedence is equal to resistance and quality factor is dependent on R L AND C all

Explanation:

we know that for series RLC circuit impedance is given by

Z=\sqrt{R^2+\left ( X_L-X_C \}right )^2

but we know that at resonance X_L=X_C  

putting  X_L=X_C in impedance formula , impedance will become

Z=R so at resonance impedance of series RLC is equal to resistance only

now quality factor of series resonance is given by

Q=\frac{\omega L}{R}=\frac{1}{\omega CR}=\frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}  so from given expression it is clear that quality factor depends on R L and C

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.7 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.3 x 10-8 m. A
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Q = 1.2*10⁻¹² C

Explanation:

  • For any capacitor, by definition the capacitance C is equal to the relationship between the charge on one of the conductors and the potential difference between them, as follows:

       C = \frac{Q}{V}  (1)

  • For the special case of a parallel plate capacitor, just by application of Gauss' law to a rectangular surface half out of the outer surface, and half inside it, it can be showed that the value of the capacitance C is a parameter defined only by geometric constants, as follows:

       C = \frac{\epsilon_{0}*\epsilon _{r} * A}{d}  (2)

  • So, due to the left sides in (1) and (2) are equal each other, right sides must be equal too.
  • Replacing ε₀, εr (dielectric constant), A, d and V by their values, we can solve for Q, as follows:

       Q =\frac{\epsilon_{0} * \epsilon_{r} *A* V}{d} = \frac{(8.85*(4.7)^{2}*79.5)e-24 (F/m*m2*V)}{1.3e-8m} =  1.2e-12 C = 1.2 pC  (3)

What is the mass of a 100-N crate of delicious candy
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

weight ( w ) = 100 N

mass (m) = ?

WE know

g = 10 m/s²

w = m * g

or

m = w / g

m = 100 / 10

m = 10 kg

hope it will help :)
