A student has a small metal sphere that hangs from an insulating string. The student, in seeking to determine the charge on the

sphere, brings a positively charged rod near the sphere and finds that the sphere is attracted to the rod. The student then brings a negatively charged rod near the sphere, and finds that the sphere is again attracted to the rod. Which of the following conclusions, if any, can be drawn from these results?
a. The sphere must be negatively charged.
b. The sphere must be positively charged.
c. The sphere must be uncharged.
d. No conclusion can be made about the charge of the sphere.

Answer:

the answer the correct one is c

Explanation:

Electric charges of different signs attract and those of the same sign repel. In addition, there are two types of insulating bodies, where the loads are fixed (immobile) and metallic (with mobile loads.

Let's analyze the situation presented

* A rod with positive approaches and the sphere is attracted, so the charge on the sphere is negative

* A rod with a negative charge approaches and the sphere is attracted, therefore the charge of the sphere must be positive.

For this to happen, the sphere must be unloaded and the charge that creates the phenomenon are induced charges because the mobile charges of the same sign as the sphere are repelled.

when checking the answer the correct one is c

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

In a circuit of 2 lamps in parallel if the current in one lamp is 2a the current in the other lamp is?
ioda

In a circuit having 2 lamps are connected in parallel to a battery

then the two lamps will be having the same potential as the battery

i.e

V_{1} = V_{2} = V_{battery}

As per Ohm's law,

I_{1} = \frac{V_{1}}{R_{1}} and I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{2} }

In other words, each lamp's current is inversely related to its individual resistance. We only know the current in one of the bulbs in this specific instance. We would therefore need further information in order to calculate the current in the other light. Therefore, there isn't enough data to make a statement.

Under the assumption that all physical parameters, including temperature, remain constant, Ohm's law asserts that "the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it".
