The electroscope is an apparatus used to detect electric charge. The electroscope consists of a plate, a support and a free to r

otate needle all made of metal. After rubbing a balloon on your sleeve, the balloon is brought near to the metallic plate of an electroscope. As a result, the needle of the electroscope deflects. The sign of the electric charge on the needle of the electroscope is:
Neutral
Positive
Negative
Cannot tell without knowing the type of metal.

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The leaves will diverge further: The positive charge on the leaves has increased further. This occurs when positive charge is produced on the leaves by the charged object. This is quite possible only when the object is positively charged.

An ideal spring is fixed at one end. A variable force F pulls on the spring. When the magnitude of F reaches a value of 49.1 N,
balu736 [363]

When the spring is stretched by 15.2 cm = 0.152 m, the spring exerts a restorative force with magnitude (due to Hooke's law)

F = kx

where k is the spring constant. Solve for k.

49.1\,\mathrm N = k (0.152\,\mathrm m) \implies k \approx 323 \dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}

The amount of work required to stretch or compress a spring by x\,\mathrm m from equilibrium length is

W = \dfrac12 kx^2

Then the work needed to stretch the spring by 15.2 cm is

W_1 = \dfrac12 \left(343\dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}\right) (0.152\,\mathrm m)^2 \approx 3.73\,\mathrm J

and by 15.2 + 13.7 = 28.9 cm is

W_2 = \dfrac12 \left(343\dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}\right) (0.289\,\mathrm m)^2 \approx 13.5\,\mathrm J

so the work needed to stretch from 15.2 cm to 28.9 cm from equilibrium is

\Delta W = W_2 - W_1 \approx \boxed{9.76\,\mathrm J}

How does a salt differ from an acid or base?
Mila [183]

Answer:

An acid is defined as a substance whose water solution tastes sour, turns blue litmus red and neutralizes bases. A substance is called base if its aqueous solution tastes bitter, turns red litmus blue or neutralizes acids. Salt is a neutral substance whose aqueous solution does not affect litmus

6. Find the MAGNITUDE and ANGLE (counter-clockwise, from q=00, on the x-axis) of the vector C = A + B.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Magnitude of C= \sqrt{(Ax+Bx)^2+(Ay+By)^2)

Angle=arctan(Ay+By/Ax+Bx)

Explanation:

Let

A = Axi + Ayj

B = Bxi + Byj

where i and j  are unit vectors in the direction of x and y axes respectively.

C=A+B

C = (Ax + Bx)i + (Ay + By)j

The magnitude of vector C can be calculated by adding the square of  magnitude of its componets and then taking sqaure root.

Magnitude of C= \sqrt{(Ax+Bx)^2+(Ay+By)^2)

And the angle will be

Angle=arctan(Ay+By/Ax+Bx)
