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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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.

The light intensity incident on a metallic surface with a work function of 1.88 eV produces photoelectrons with a maximum kineti

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

KE = KE (incidental) - KE of emitted photons

or KE = h * f - Wf

So h * f = KE + Wf = 1.2 + 1.88 = 3.08 incident energy

If you double the frequency then h * f = 6.16

KE = 6.16 - 1.2 = 4.96 eV

What is force?????? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gwar [14]

Answer:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. ... Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

an object with a mass of 5kg is moving with an initial velocity of 20m/s.the object accelerates at a rate of 15m/s/s for 8s.what

Alinara [238K]

It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts. All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =

(5kg) x (15 m/s²) =

75 kg-m/s² = 75 newtons .
