Answer:

the main difference between charging by contact and charging by induction is that in the first case, the two objects are touching, while in the second case, the two objects do not touch

Explanation:

There are three methods of charging an object:

- Charging by friction: this is done by rubbing an object against another object. An example is when a plastic rod is rubbed with a wool cloth. When this is done, electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod, so both objects remain charged at the end of the process

- Charging by contact: this is done by putting in contact a charged object with a neutral, conducting object. In this case, the charges are transferred from the charged object to the neutral object; at the end of the process, the neutral object will also have a net electric charge, so it will be also charged.

- Charging by induction: in this case, we take a charged object, and a neutral object, and we place the two objects close to each other, but without touching. Let's assume that the charged object is negatively charged: in this case, the positive charges in the neutral object are attracted towards the negative charges of the charged object, while the negative charges of the neutral object are repelled away. As a result, the positive and negative charges in the neutral object split apart. If the object is connected to the ground, then negative charges move away, so the neutral object will remain positively charged.

Therefore, the main difference between charging by contact and charging by induction is that in the first case, the two objects are touching, while in the second case, the two objects do not touch.

The correct answer is 1 and 4.

Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.

Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.

Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.26 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

VashaNatasha [74]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.

PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.

$r = \frac{8.26}{2} = 4.13m$

And the distance 'd' is

$d = lsin\theta$

$d = 1.14 sin 16.2\°$

$d = 0.318m$

Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$Tsin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

Here we can watch that,

$R = r+d$

Dividing both expression we have that,

$tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Replacing the values,

$tan(16.2) = \frac{v^2}{(4.13+0.318)(9.8)}$

$v = 4.83371m/s$

PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$T = \frac{(10+26.2)(9.8)}{cos(16.2)}$

$T = 369.42N$

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to

Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.
