Answer:

A glass rod becomes positively charged when it is rubbed by a silk because the glass rod is negetively charged and when it is rubbed by the conductors like silk it gets positive charged.

Answer:

Hope this helps ya out

Explanation:

The core has positive charge, the electrons have negative charge. When you are rubbing the glass rod with the silk cloth, electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the glass and transferred to the silk cloth. This leaves the glass rod with more positive than negative charge, so you get a net positive charge.

Answer:

Explanation:

Voltage and Current relation is given by V=IR
I=9A

R=4Ohm

V=IR
V=9x4=36Volts

Resistance = 4 Ohm

Current = 9 Ampere

Voltage = 36 Volts

A rock is thrown off a 50.0 m high cliff. How fast must the rock leave the cliff top to land on level ground below, 90 m from th

blagie [28]

Answer:

The rock must leave the cliff at a velocity of 28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The position vector of the rock at a time t can be calculated using the following equation:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the cliff so that x0 and y0 = 0.

When the rock reaches the ground, the position vector will be (see r1 in the figure):

r1 = (90 m, -50 m)

Then, using the equation of the vector position written above:

90 m = x0 + v0x · t

-50 m = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Since x0 and y0 = 0:

90 m = v0x · t

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

Let´s use the equation of the y-component of the vector r1 to find the time it takes the rock to reach the ground and with that time we can calculate v0x:

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

-50 m / -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 3.19 s

Now, using the equation of the x-component of r1:

90 m = v0x · t

90 m = v0x · 3.19 s

v0x = 90 m / 3.19 s

v0x = 28.2 m/s

Horizontal Motion

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed vo from a height h, the range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}$
