. Suppose that a positive charge is brought near a neutral, insulating piece of material. Is the positive charge attracted, repe

lled, or indifferent to the neutral object

HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Positive charge is attracted to the neutral object.

Explanation:

Recall ; Like charges repel, unlike charges attract. This phrase simply means (positive (+) is attracted to negative (-ve) and vuc versa while both positive, positive and negative, negative charge repel.

For a neutral object. The quantity of positive charge equals the quantity of negative charges. This simply means a neutral object contains charges as well, which are usually scattered or randomly aligned.

Therefore, when a positive charge is brought near a neutral body, the order of alignment of the charges change, with the negative charge all moving towards the direction of the positively charged body and the positive charges in the neutral body aligning in the opposite direction.

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:
netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}  (1)

Where:

m=5.7 is the slope of the line

Y_{1}=2390.7pounds is the airplane weight with  51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

X_{1}=51gallons is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)

Rewritting (1):

Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (2)

As Y is a function of X:

Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}  (3)

Substituting the known values:

f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7  (4)

f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7  (5)

f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100  (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100  (7)

f_{(81)}=2561.7  (8)   This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.
