As the blades rotate, they experience frictional forces as they `rub' against the air; this knocks electrons around, causing the blades to build up a net charge. The charged dust particles then stick to the charged areas of the blades. "The leading edge of the blades usually develops the thickest layer of dust.

PSYCHO15rus [73]
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻). When there is free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity. Chloroform do not dissociate on ions in water, because that is not polar molecule, so chloroform is in molecular form in solution.

Answer:

VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Explanation:

Effusion rate of the lighter particles will be higher than the heavier particles. That is, the lighter particles will leave the container faster than the heavier particles. Over time, the vapor pressure of the greater number of heavier particles will be higher than the vapor pressure of the lighter particles.

=> VP as function of time => VP(Ar) > VP(Ne) > VP(He).

Review Graham's Law => Effusion Rate ∝ 1/√formula mass.

What happens to Earth when it is farthest from the sun?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.

Therefore, most countries might have two or four seasons.
