The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)
salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

Natalka [10]

Answer:

EMF = 1684.67 Volts

Explanation:

As we know that EMF is induced in a closed conducting loop if the flux linked with the loop is changing with time

So we can say

EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt}

now we have

\phi = BA

here since magnetic field is constant so we have

EMF = A\frac{dB}{dt}

now we have

A = (190 \times 10^3)(190 \times 10^3)

A = 3.61 \times 10^{10} m^2

now we have

EMF = 3.61\times 10^{10} (\frac{2.8 \times 10^{-6}T}{60 s})

EMF = 1684.67 Volts
