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.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

You use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch
valentinak56 [21]

1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>

The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.

The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.

In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.

Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8

Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

a child is swinging on swing, describe what happens to both the kinectic energy and potential enegry of the child as she swings
Igoryamba

Answer:

The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position and the P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.

Explanation:

  • A child is swinging on swing up and down has both kinetic and potential energy.
  • The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved throughout the system. At any instant the total mechanical energy is given by,

                                      E = K.E + P.E

  • The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position.
  • The P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
  • And when K.E is maximum P.E becomes minimum and vice versa as per the law of conservation of energy.
