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.

A 100-m-long wire carrying a current of 4.0 A will be accompanied by a magnetic field of what strength at a distance of 0.050 m

solong [7]

Answer:

1.6 x 10^-5 T

Explanation:

i = 4 A

r = 0.05 m

The magnetic field due to long wire at a distance r is given by

$B = \frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}$

B = 10^-7 x 2 x 4 / 0.05

B = 1.6 x 10^-5 T

Define friction State the law of frictionGive two factors that may affect friction

umka21 [38]

Friction:

Friction is the resistive force that acts on the body in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the same object.

Laws of friction:

1. The frictional force acting on the object is proportional to the normal force acting on the object.

For example, if the object of mass m is moving along the horizontal surface, the normal force acting on the object is mg.

Thus, the frictional force acting on the object is,

$\begin{gathered} F_r\propto F_N \\ F_r=\mu F_N \end{gathered}$

where F_N is the normal force acting on the object,

$\mu\text{ is the coefficient of friction}$

The diagrammatic representation of the frictional force acting on the object is,

2. The frictional force acting on the object depends upon the nature of the surface in contact with the object.

3. The frictional force does not depend upon the area of contact of an object with the surface.

4. The kinetic friction acting on the object is independent of the velocity of the object.

5. The coefficient of static friction is more than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Two factors on which the frictional force depends are:

1. The frictional force depends on the adhesion between the two bodies in contact.

2. The frictional force acting on the depends upon the roughness of the surface on which the object is moving.

When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a

kolezko [41]

Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8 lbs
