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 0.10 kg ball of dough is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 15 m/s.
Reptile [31]
<span>Mass of the ball is m = 0.10kg Initial speed of the Ball v = 15m/s a. When the ball is at maximum height the velocity is 0 Momentum of ball = mass x velocity Momentum = 0.10kg x 0 = 0 b. Getting the maximum height, Using the conservation of energy equation KEinitial = mgh 1/2mVin^2 = mgh => h = v^2/2g h = 15^2/2x9.8 = 11.48m => Half Height h = 5.96m Applying the conservation of energy equation at halfway V^2 = 2gh V = square root of (2x9.8x5.96) => V = square root of (116.816) So the velocity at the half way V = 10.81 m/s Momentum M = m x V => M = 0.10 x 10.81 => M = 1.081kg-m/s</span>

A delivery truck travels with a constant velocity up an 8 slope. A 60 kg box sits on the floor of the truck and, because of sta
Blababa [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

The slope of the ramp, \theta=8^{\circ}

Mass of the box, m = 60 kg

(a) Distance covered by the truck up the slope, d = 300 m

Initially the truck moves with a constant velocity. We know that the net work done on the box is equal to 0 as per work energy theorem as :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=0

u and v are the initial and the final velocity of the truck

(b) The work done on the box by the force of gravity is given by :

W=Fd\ cos\theta

Here, \theta=90+8=98^{\circ}

W=mgd\ cos\theta

W=60\times 9.8\times 300\ cos(98)

W = -24550.13 J

(c) What is the work done on the box by the normal force is equal to 0 as the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees.

(d) The work done by friction is given by :

W_f=-W

W_f=24550.13\ J

Hence, this is the required solution.
