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 rope exerts a 280 N force while pulling an 80 Kg skier upward along a hill inclined at 12o. The rope pulls parallel to the hil
user100 [1]

Answer:

The speed of the skier after moving 100 m up the slope are of V= 25.23 m/s.

Explanation:

F= 280 N

m= 80 kg

α= 12º

μ= 0.15

d= 100m

g= 9,8 m/s²

N= m*g*sin(α)

N= 163 Newtons

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 24.45 Newtons

∑F= m*a

a= (280N - 24.5N) / 80kg

a= 3.19 m/s²

d= a * t² / 2

t=√(2*d/a)

t= 7.91 sec

V= a* t

V= 3.19 m/s² * 7.91 s

V= 25.23 m/s

what is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50kg and hits the catcher’s glove with a force of 25 N
Kitty [74]

Answer:

mass=0.50kg

force=25N

acceleration =?

Now,

force=m×a

25=0.50×a

25÷0.50=a

50=a

acceleration =50m/s^2 answer!!!!

hope this may help you!!!!

The velocity of an object is positive and steadily increasing. Which of the following graphs represents how the acceleration of
stiv31 [10]
If an object's velocity is steadily increasing it means that the acceleration is constant at a certain value.

Choice A shows an acceleration of zero which would only be true if the object was not moving or if its velocity was not changing.

Choice B gives us a graph showing acceleration increasing over time and is therefore incorrect.

Choice C is correct because the acceleration is constant. Steadily increasing tells us that the acceleration is fixed at a certain value.

Choice D is incorrect an represents a constant negative acceleration. This would be the case if the object was steadily decreasing in velocity.
