Answer:

Electron.

From plastic rod to metal sphere.

Explanation:

The charged plastic rod is negatively charged, which means it contains excess electrons.

After they touch each other, the plastic rod now has a more positive value.

Since the sphere is a metal sphere, it is able to conduct the flow of electrons.

Hence, the plastic rod has given off some of its electrons to the metal sphere.

If a typical smelt weighs 225 g, what is the total mass of pcbs in a smelt in the great lakes?
Alex787 [66]

Since a typical smelt has 1.04 ppm of PCB is great lakes. So the amount of PCB in a smelt in great leak can be calculated by multiplying the mass of smelt by the pcbs present in a smelt

225 g * ( 1.04/100000) = 2.34 x10^-4 g pcbs

A tire sits atop a ramp. When the tire is released, it rolls down the ramp. At the ramp's bottom, the speeding tire knocks down
k0ka [10]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the combination of both potential energy and kinetic

Mechanical energy can be divided as

1)kinetic energy, this energy vis regarded as the energy of motion

2) potential energy which is the stored energy of position.

Mechanical energy reffered to as

motion energy this energy is responsible for the movement of an object based on its position as well as motion.

Mechanical energy= U + K

Where U= potential energy

K= Kinectic energy

As the tire is sitting on top of a ramp, it posses "potential energy" as it is released and rolls down the ramp the potential is converted to Kinectic energy

The melting point of potassium thiocyanate determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 174.5 oC. The accepted val
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%
