Explanation:

object made of rubber, such as the ballons are elecrical insulators, meaning that they resist electric charges flowing through them..

when the ballon has been rubbed enough times to gain a sufficient negative charge, it will be attracted to the wall

Where would you look for some “original” planetesimals left over from the formation of our solar system?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Asteroid Belt and Kuiper belt

Explanation:

When solar system was forming a the leftover material was concentrated in Asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter) and Kuiper belt (which starts just after the orbit of Neptune). These two belts contain various small bodies called as planetesimals or asteroids which can give a lot of information about the early solar system.

What is difference between gravity and gravitational force

anygoal [31]

gravity means that is not a force but the gravitational force is a force 

For example we call the earth has a gravitational force but on moon we say that it doesn't have gravity

A certain spring is found not to obey Hooke’s law; it exerts a restoring force Fx(x)=−αx−βx2 if it is stretched or compressed, w

Masteriza [31]

Answer:U(x) = 30x^2 +6x^3

V^2=8.28m/s

Explanation:The law of conservation of energy is given by K1+U1= K2+U2 ...eq 1

Kinetic energy K.E= 1/2 mv^2

Restoring force function F(x)= -60x - 18x^2

But F(x)= -dU/dx

dU(x)=-F(x)dx

Integrating U(x)= -integral F(x)dx + U(0)

Substituting, we get

U(x) = - integral(-60x-18x^2)dx+U(0)

U(x)= 30x^2+6x^3+U(0)

U=0 at x=0

Therefore U(x)= 30x^2+6x^3

b) Given : x1=1.00m,x2= 0.50m ,V1=0, V2=?

Substituting into eq (a)

U1= 30(1.00)^2+6(1.00)^3=36J

Using x2=0.5 into eq(a)

U2=30(0.50)^2+6(0.50)^3=8.25J

Object at rest K1=0

0+36=K2+8.25

K2=27.75J

Given; m =0.900kg, V2=?

27.75=1/2×0.900×V2^2

V2= SQRT(2×27.75)/0.81

V2= 8.28m/s

A coil 4.20 cm radius, containing 500 turns, is placed in a uniform magnetic field that varies with time according to B=( 1.20×1

erma4kov [3.2K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the coil, r = 4.2 cm

Number of turns in the coil, N = 500

The magnetic field as a function of time is given by :

$B=1.2\times 10^{-2}t+2.6\times 10^{-5}t^4$

Resistance of the coil, R = 640 ohms

We need to find the magnitude of induced emf in the coil as a function of time. It is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{-d(NBA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\dfrac{-dB}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\times \dfrac{-d(1.2\times 10^{-2}t+2.6\times 10^{-5}t^4)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=N\pi r^2\times (1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\\\\\epsilon=500\pi \times (4.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times (1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\\\\\epsilon=2.77(1.2\times 10^{-2}+10.4\times 10^{-5}t^3)\ V$

Hence, this is the required solution.

In both ionic and molecular bonds, the resulting compound is stabilized because

frosja888 [35]

Answer: In both ionic and molecular bonds, the resulting compound is stabilized because each atom's outer electronic orbital is full.

Explanation:

Molecular bonds are also called covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two or more atoms.

For example, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and atomic number of nitrogen is 7 (2, 5). In order to attain stability hydrogen atom needs to gain one electron whereas nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons.

Hence, 3 atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of nitrogen by sharing electrons and thus it forms the compound $NH_{3}$ .

Ionic bonds are the bonds formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 (2, 8, 1) and atomic number of chlorine is 17 (2, 8, 7). In order to attain stability sodium needs to lose one electron whereas chlorine needs to gain one electron.

Hence, when sodium combines chemically with chloride then sodium will transfer its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom and thus it forms the compound NaCl.

Therefore, we can conclude that in both ionic and molecular bonds, the resulting compound is stabilized because each atom's outer electronic orbital is full.
