Answer:
1)
is<u> positive.</u>
<u></u>
2) 
Explanation:
<h2><u>
Part 1:</u></h2>
<u></u>
The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.
Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e.,
is <u>positive.</u>

<h2><u>
Part 2:</u></h2>
<u></u>
<u>Given:</u>
- Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
- Charge on the balloon,

- Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
- Acceleration due to gravity,

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.
Weight of the balloon, 
The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

is the Coulomb's constant.
For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

Answer:
Because winding roads have a gentle slope on hills, so it's easy to climb it than a steepy.
Answer: It wouldn't be as modern as today is we would be back to using oil and other things from back then there wouldn't be cars everything would be less machined.
Hi there!
Impulse = Change in momentum
I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)
Where:
m = mass of object (kg)
vf = final velocity (m/s)
vi = initial velocity (m/s)
Begin by converting grams to kilograms:
1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg
Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.
I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns
The magnitude is the absolute value, so:
|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
