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

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer is 3.111111.

Explanation:

It runs 28 m in the first 9 s, and 28 divided by 9 equals 3.1 and the one goes on forever.

Technician A says that current is created in the stator windings of an alternator. Technician B says that the voltage regulator
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Technician A and Technician B both are right.

Explanation:

In an AC alternator,  there are two windings

1. Stator winding (stationary)

2. Rotor winding (rotating)

The current is induced in the stationary coils due to the magnetic field produced by the rotor. The DC suppy is provided to the rotor winding via slip rings and brushes and a voltage regulator precisely controls this supply to control the current flow through the rotor.

Therefore, both technicians are right.

A 27-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 640 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

Explanation:

To attempt this question, we use the formula for the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

I = F t = Δp

Next, we try to find the time that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), so we say

v = d / t

t = d / v

Given that

m = 26 g = 26 10⁻³ kg

d = 50 mm = 50 10⁻³ m

t = d/v

t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

F t = m v - m v₀

This is so, because the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

F = m (v-vo) / t

F = 26*10⁻³ (-500 - 640) / 8.33*10⁻⁵

F = - 3.56*10⁵ N

The negative sign is as a result of the force exerted against the bullet
