A constant force of 1.25N

Explanation:

This is a kinematics problem.

First find acceleration,

then use F = ma to find force.

Given:

mass = .5kg

delta x = 20m

t = 4s

a = ?

Friction = 0

From the kinematics equations:

delta x = Vi + (1/2)at^2

Plug in terms that are given:

20m = 0 + (1/2)a(4^2)

(2*20m)/(16s^2) = a

40m/(16s^2)= 2.5m/s^2

Now use F = ma to find force exerted on object.

F = (0.5kg)*(2.5m/s^2)

F = 1.25N

When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the plastic rod becomes negatively charged and the fur becomes positively charged. As a con
Yuri [45]

Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come  to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.
