Explanation:
It is known that opposite charges tend to attract each other whereas like charges tend to repel each other.
For example, when we rub a plastic pen with wool and it gets attracted towards an invisible tape then it means that there is an opposite charge present on both the objects.
A neutral object also tends to develop a charge when it comes in contact with a charged object.
Thus, we can conclude that the following statements are true.
- The tape might be positively charged.
- The tape might be uncharged.
Between 9:00 am and 10:45 am, there have been 1 hour and 45 minutes or 1.75 hours have passed. Let x be the speed of the slower cyclist and x+ 5 be the rate of the second cyclist. The given situation is best represented through the equation below,
x(1.75) + (x + 5)(1.75) = 47.25 km
The value of x from the equation is 11. Thus, the two bicyclists' rates are 11 km/h and 16 km/h.
Answer:
Archaeologist use radioactive isotopes to determine the ages of various objects, rocks and materials. This is called radioactive dating. Radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is widely used for this dating process.
Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture to monitor or study the uptake and use of essential nutrients by plants from the soil. This helps to determine viability, productivity and nutritious ability of the plants on a piece of land.
Geologists use radioactive isotopes to trace leaks in underground water storage, pipes. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity can be easily detected.
