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.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

A car accelerates from 300 km/h to 140 km/h in 2.53 seconds. what is the distance covered?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time

Change in Velocity = 36-18 = 18 km/h=5 m/s

Time= 5 Seconds

Acceleration = 5/5= 1 m/s2

Equation of motion,s=ut+(1/2)at2

u=18 km/h=5 m/s

t=5 s

a=1 m/s2

s= (5*5)+(1/2*1*5*5)

s=25+12.5 i.e., s=37.5 m

Hope you are clear with my explanations

Cleo stated that light travels through air in straight paths, and when it moves from air to water, light changes direction, spee
Andru [333]

Answer:

Light slows down when it moves from air into water.

Explanation:

It is the property of light that travels faster in a less dense medium.

In a more dense medium, the speed of the light slows down and bends towards the normal.

The air is less dense medium and water is a more dense medium.

When light passes from air to water, the light bends.

This is known as the refraction of light.

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?
expeople1 [14]
Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by  frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000  km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
                 = 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

The percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that air can contain at a particular temp
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Relative humidity %

Explanation:

  • The relative humidity is the percentage of the water vapor content at a particular temperature and pressure to the maximum amount of water vapor content the air can hold at those conditions.
  • When the relative humidity of the air becomes 100% then there occurs precipitation on the earth from the atmosphere (specifically troposphere, which accounts for the weather changes).
  • We might have experienced excessive sweating even on a relatively less hotter day of a summer which is on account of increased relative humidity.
