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

In case of collision of objects in two dimensions which statement is true after the collision?
Grace [21]

The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved. 

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.

As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.

Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.

Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.

An electric motor rotates 60 times per second if the alternating current source is 60 Hz. How many times will an electric motor
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

180,000

Explanation:

Frequency is a quantity that is measured in Hertz [Hz] and it represents the number of rotations per second.

A motor with a frequency of 50 Hz will rotate 50 times per second.

Since we don't want to know how many times it rotates per second, but per hour. The first step is to find how many seconds there are in an hour and then multiply that amount by 50.

Seconds in an hour:

there are 60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hour, thus there are

60*60 = <u>3,600 seconds in an hour</u>

We know that the motor will rotate 50 times per second so to find the number of rotations in 1 hour =  3,600 seconds we multiply:

50*3,600 = 180,000 rotations

Martha must carry a 45 N package up three flights of stairs. Each flight of stairs has a height of 2.3m, and the actual distance
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

310.5 J

Explanation:

The total work done by Martha is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the package, which is equal to

\Delta U = mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 45 N is the weight of the package

\Delta h is the increase in height of the package

The package is carried up 3 flights of stairs, each one with a height of 2.3 m, so the total increase in heigth is

\Delta h = 3 \cdot 2.3 m=6.9 m

And so, the work done by Martha is

U=(45 N)(6.9 m)=310.5 J
