Answer:

The positive ball would go first to the negatively charged plate.

Explanation:

After which, it would hold a more negative charge. Due to the negative charge, it would travel towards the positive plate. Thereby, it would transfer negative electrons to the positive plate once more. In doing so, it would transfer positive protons to the negative plate. After which, it would hold more  negative electrons and be drawn towards the positive plate once more. The Process would continue until the once-positive and once-negative became neutral ( and were discharged.) Additionally, the ball hanging on the insulator thread would also be neutral and discharged.

a) The momentum of the coconut is 3 kg m/s

b) At first, the air resistance is negligible, so the coconut accelerates due to the force of gravity

c) The coconut reaches its terminal velocity

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the coconut in this problem, we have:

m = 1.5 kg (mass)

v = 2 m/s (velocity)

Therefore, its momentum is

p=(1.5)(2)=3 kg m/s

B)

There are only two forces acting on the coconut during its fall:

  • The force of gravity, of magnitude mg (m= mass of the coconut, g = acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The air resistance, acting upward, whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the coconut

During the first momentums of the fall, the speed of the coconut is still low, so the air resistance is mostly negligible, and therefore only the force of gravity is acting on the coconut. Since this force is constant, it means that the acceleration of the coconut is constant: therefore, its velocity keeps increasing during the fall, and the coconut speeds up.

C)

If the tree is very tall, the fall of the coconut lasts long, and the  speed of the coconut keeps increasing. Since the air resistance is proportional to the speed, this means that at some point, the air resistance is no longer negligible, and it starts to have some effect on the fall of the coconut. In particular, at a certain point, the air resistance will become equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity (but opposite in direction): this means that  from this point, the acceleration of the coconut will be zero, and therefore the coconut will continue its motion at constant velocity. This velocity is called terminal velocity, and it occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the air resistance:

mg = F_r

where F_r is the air resistance.

A ball is thrown upward at a 45° angle. Inthe absence of air resistance, the ballfollows aA. tangential curve.B. sine curve.C. p
Evgesh-ka [11]

As ball is projected up in air at an angle of 45 degree without any air resistance

Let the initial speed will be v

now we will have

In x direction

v_x = v cos45

in y direction

v_y = vsin45

now displacement in x direction

x = (vcos45)t + 0

displacement in y direction

y = (vsin45)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now from above two equations we have

y = (vsin45)\frac{x}{vcos45} - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{vcos45})^2

y = xtan45 - \frac{1}{2v^2cos^245}gx^2

so above equation is a quadratic equation and hence it will be a parabolic curve

so correct answer will be

<em>C. parabolic curve.</em>

The current in two identical light bulbs connected in series is 0. 25 A. The voltage across both bulbs is 110 V. The resistance
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

220 ohms

Explanation:

I = V / R

0.25 = 110 / R

R = 110 / 0.25

R = 440 ohms

Equivalent resistance = 440 ohms

Resistance of single light bulb = Equivalent resistance / number of bulbs

= 440 / 2

= 220 ohms
