A neutral metal ball is suspended by a string. A positively charged insulating rod is placed near the ball, which is observed to

be attracted to the rod. This is because:____________.
a. the ball becomes negatively charged by induction
b. the ball becomes positively charged by induction
c. the string is not a perfect insulator
d. there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball
e. the number of electrons in the ball is more than the number in the rod

Answer:

d. there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball

Explanation:

Inside the neutral metal ball, there are equal no. of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Normally, the charges are distributed evenly throughout the ball.

However, when the positively charged insulating rod is brought near, since positive charges and negative charges attract each other, the electrons (-ve charges) in the metal ball moves towards the side nearest to the rod. The metal ball gets attracted to the rod.

a and b are not correct because the rod is insulating, so electrons cannot be transferred between them to induce a net charge in the metal ball. the no. of electrons is unrelated to the attraction between opposite charges , so e is incorrect as well.

A 200 N trash can is pulled across the sidewalk by a person at constant speed by a force of 75 N. What is the coefficient of fri
Pavel [41]

Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

A cubical Gaussian surface surrounds two positive charges, each has a charge q 1 1 = + 3.90 × 10 − 12 3.90×10−12 C, and three ne
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The electric flux is zero because charge is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Positive charge q_{1}=3.90\times10^{-12}\ C

Negative charge q_{2}=-2.60\times10^{-12}\ C

We need to calculate the total charged

Using formula of charge

Q_{enc}=2q_{1}+3q_{2}

Put the value into the formula

Q_{enc}=2\times3.90\times10^{-12}+3\times(-2.60\times10^{-12})

Q_{enc}=0

We need to calculate the electric flux

Using formula of electric flux

\phi=\dfrac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_{0}}

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\dfrac{0}{8.85\times10^{-12}}

Hence, The electric flux is zero because charge is zero.

A sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

<h3>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\</h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

a =  \frac{23 - 0}{5}  =  \frac{23}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
