Suppose that the process were repeated, except that in step 3 a neutral acrylic rod instead of a finger is used to touch the ele

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not

A supply bag is dropped from a rescue plane. After the bag falls for 3.2 seconds , what is the velocity of the bag?

loris [4]

Answer: -31.36 m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

$V_{f}=V_{o}+a.t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of the supply bag

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)

$a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)

$t=3.2s$ is the time

Knowing this, let's solve (1):

$V_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2})(3.2s)$ (2)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-31.36m/s$ Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.

Two of the types of infrared light, ir-c and ir-a, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 3000 to 1,000,0

NikAS [45]

The energy of a light wave is calculated using the formula
E = hc/λ
h is the Planck's constant
c is the speed of light
λ is the wavelength
For the ir-c, the range is
<span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 3000 = 6.63 x 10 ^-29 J
</span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1000000 = 1.99 x 10^-31 J

For the ir-a, the range is
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 700 = 2.84 x 10^-28 J
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1400 = 1.42 x 10^-28 J
