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.

1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
4 0

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.

How an application of atmospheric device work?example siphon​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A practical siphon, operating at typical atmospheric pressures and tube heights, works because gravity pulling down on the taller column of liquid leaves reduced pressure at the top of the siphon (formally, hydrostatic pressure when the liquid is not moving).

I hope it's helpful!

Explain the term inertia<br>​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Inertia is the force that keeps an object at rest. Inertia is referred to as the property which results in it continuing in the state of rest that it is unless there's an external force that acts upon it.

Inertia keeps objects and things in place and it holds the universe together. When there's no force that's acting in an object, such object will continue to move in a straight line and also at a constant speed.

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum

TRUE or FALSE: During a collision between objects of different mass, there is a greater force applied to the less massive object
ddd [48]
If they are moving at the same speed then it would be true because the larger object would have more mass and would have more momentum then the smaller object that has less mass! Hope this helps!
