Answer : (A) A charged object is brought near a neutral object without touching it.

Explanation:

Bodies can be charged by the method of conduction. By conduction the body acquires the same charge as on the charging body.

Charging the body can be understood by the following example of charging a paper cylinder by conduction. Make a paper cylinder by rolling a strip of paper on a pencil and then gently pulling out the pencil. Suspend the paper cylinder by a string tied to its center, now touch the paper cylinder with a glass rod rubbed with silk so it has a positive charge. Remove the class rod and the again bring it near to the paper cylinder.

The paper cylinder is repelled by the positively charged rod. And when you bring a negatively rubbed rod, next to the cylinder it will be attracted towards the rod. This means that the paper cylinder has acquired a positive charge as on the glass rod due to conduction.

If the new moon happens on January 15th, what shape will it be on February 6th?

Jobisdone [24]

-- From January 15 to February 6 is a period of 22 days.

-- The period of the full cycle of moon phases is 29.53 days.

-- So those dates represent (22/29.53) = 74.5% of a full cycle of phases.

-- That's almost exactly 3/4 of a full cycle, so on February 6, the moon would be almost exactly at Third Quarter. That's the left half of a disk (viewed from the northern hemisphere).

A viscous liquid is sheared between two parallel disks of radius �, one of which rotates with angular speed Ω, while the other i

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Upper disk rotates at a constant angular velocity. The velocity at any height from stationery disk, say at x metres

$U_o=v(\frac {x}{h})$ where v is tangential velocity at radius r from the centre of disk

$U_o=r\omega (\frac {x}{h})$

The radial component of velocity is given as

$U_r=0$

The z component of velocity is also given as

W=0

Total velocity, $v= r\omega (\frac {x}{h})\hat e_{o}$

A negatively charged balloon has 4 μC of charge. How many excess electrons are on this bal- loon? The elemental charge is 1.6 ×

bagirrra123 [75]

Data:

The charge of a body depends on the amount of electrons it gains or loses. Q = n * e, where "Q" is charge, "n" is the number of plus or minus electrons, and "e" is the fundamental charge of an electron $1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$ . To know if the body has gained or lost, we look at the signal of its charge, remembering that the electron is negative. The charge of the body is 4 μC (positive), so there is a lack of electrons!

Q = 4 μC → $Q = 4*10^{-6}$
$e = 1,6 * 10 ^{-19}C$
$n = ?$ 

We have:
 $Q = n*e$
$n = \frac{Q}{e}$
$n = \frac{4*10^{-6}}{1,6 * 10 ^{-19}}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6-(-19)}$
$n = 2,5*10^{-6+19}$
$\boxed{n = 2,5*10^{13}electrons}$

On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the

mina [271]

Answer:

Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.
