A charged rod is brought near one end of a long, uncharged metal block. Students want to experimentally measure the resulting ch

arge distribution along the entire length of the block. They have a small, positively charged sphere on a string that can be used as a test charge with negligible effect on the other charges. They will observe whether the sphere is attracted or repelled when held near the rod. Which of the following describes and justifies a procedure that will provide data to determine the entire charge distribution?
a. Hold the sphere near the end of the block closest to the rod, because that will give experimental data about both ends of the block.
b. Hold the sphere near each end of the block, because that will give experimental data about both ends of the block.
с. Hold the sphere near each end of the block and near the block's middle, because that will give experimental data about the area along the length of the block.
d. Hold the sphere near each end of the block and at a number of points along the length of the block, because that will give experimental data for the whole block.

A 2kg box is pushed along a flat frictionless surface with an applied force of 53.91newton j+19.62 j were j is horizontal and j
tamaranim1 [39]

Since the box doesn't move vertically at all, no work is done by the vertical component of the force.

If 53.91 Newtons is the horizontal component of the force (very unclear in the question), then the work done is

<u>Work = (force) x (distance)</u>

Work = (53.91 N) x (10 m)

<em>Work = 539.1 Joules</em>

<u>Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)</u>

Power = (539.1 joules) / (90 sec)

Power = (539.1/90) (joule/sec)

<em>Power = 5.99 watts</em>

=====================================

Note:  If the mass of the box is only 2 kg, and you push it along the surface with a constant force of 53⁺ Newtons, and the surface really is frictionless, then that box is gonna cover a WHOOOOOLE LOT more than 10 meters in 90 seconds.  I get 109,168 meters !

according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing
Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces. 
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth.  One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth.  We call that force "your weight". 
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you.  Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !

Ghella [55]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Electron cloud

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atom is made up of two parts ; that is the nucleus and the electron cloud. The nucleus contain subatomic particles; protons and neutrons, while the electron cloud contains the electrons.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The electron cloud is the largest part of the atom and is mostly an empty space. Most of an atom is a cloud of electrons surrounding a space called the nucleus with tiny protons and neutrons.</u></em>

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones
