Answer:
Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.
Answer:
125.83672 seconds
Explanation:
P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)
m = Mass of professor = 103 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = Height of professor = 93 m
Work done would be equal to the potential energy
Power is given by
The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds
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.
Answer:
x = 5.29 m
Explanation:
given,
weight of stretch = 37 N
left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm
right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm
spring are connected in parallel
F = F₁ + F₂
F = k₁x + k₂x
F = (k₁+ k₂)x
37= (4.3+ 2.7)x
7 x = 37
x = 5.29 m
Answer: B. If an object's velocity is changing,it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration.
Acceleration is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. This implies that if an object is changing it's velocity it is experiencing acceleration/ deceleration.
Acceleration is a vector quantity that has both a magnitude and time.
It is represented as
Acceleration= change in velocity/time.
The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2
