Answer:
The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.
Explanation:
This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.
Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.
So, the leaves move further apart.
The capacitance of the capacitor is
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation
where
k is the dielectric constant of the medium
is the vacuum permittivity
A is the area of the plates
d is the separation between the plates
For the capacitor in this problem, we have:
k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant
is the separation between the plates
(I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)
Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is

Earth it has the strongest magnetosphere
-- Volume . . . made out of 3 dimensions of length
-- Density . . . made out of mass, and 3 dimensions of length
-- Area . . . made out of 2 dimensions of length
-- Acceleration . . . made out of length and time
<em>Mass</em> is not made out of anything else. It's fundamental. A few other fundamental things are length, time, and electric charge.
The time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.
<h3>What time will the police car catch up with the speeding motorist?</h3>
The police car and the motorist will cover equal distances.
Let the distance covered be d.
Distance covered by the motorist = speed * time
time = t, speed = 30 m/s
d = 30t
Distance covered by the police car = acceleration * (time)
time = t - 2, acceleration = 5.0 m/s²
d = 5(t-2)²
d = 5(t² - 4t + 4)
d = 5t² - 20t + 20
Equating the two equations for distance
5t² - 20t + 20 = 30t
5t² - 50t + 20 = 0
Solving for t using the quadratic formula:
t = 9.6 second or 0.4 seconds
Since t > 2, t = 9.6 seconds
t - 2 = 9.6 - 2
t - 2 = 7.6 seconds
Therefore, the time for the police car to catch up with the speeding motorist is 7.6 seconds.
