When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

So, when a ruler that is negatively charged touches a metal rod then the metal rod also becomes negatively charged because of conduction process. This is because negative charge moves from the rules towards the metal rod and hence, it spreads over to the metal rod.

A baseball is hit high and far. Which of the following statements is true? At the highest point,
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

When the baseball is hit high and far it has some horizontal velocity at the highest point so option an i.e. velocity at the highest point is eliminated.

the baseball act as a projectile at the highest point so, there is always downward acceleration acting on the body. so, option e and d is eliminated.

At the highest point, the vertical velocity is zero and neglecting the air resistance we can say that the velocity of the body is slowest.

Hence, the correct answer is option C

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide
diamong [38]

Answer:

Al2O3 + 3Mg ===》 3MgO + 2Al

Explanation:

Reaction of aluminium oxide with magnesium metal would form magnesium oxide and aluminium metal.

Balancing the stoichiometric equation, the number of atoms at the reactant must be equal to the number of atoms at the product so that law of conservation of matter must hold.

Al203 + 3Mg ====》 3MgO + 2Al

2 aluminium at reactant = 2 aluminium at product

3 oxygen at reactant = 3 oxygen at product

3 magnesium at reactant = 3 magnesium at product.

Two curves on a highway have the same radii. However, one is unbanked and the other is banked at an angle θ. A car can safely tr
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

θ = 29.38°

Explanation:

The centripetal force is given by the formula;

F_c = F_n(sin θ) = mv²/r

Now, the vertical component of the normal force is; F_n(cos θ)

Now, this vertical component is also expressed as; F_n(cos θ) = mg

Thus, the slope is;

F_n(sin θ)/F_n(cos θ) = (mv²/r)/mg

tan θ = v²/rg

v² = rg(tan θ)

The initial speed will be gotten from the relation;

(v_o)² = μ_s(gr)

Plugging rg(tan θ) for (v_o)², we have;

μ_s(gr) = rg(tan θ)

rg will cancel out to give;

μ_s = (tan θ)

Thus, θ = tan^(-1) μ_s

μ_s is coefficient of static friction given as 0.563

θ = tan^(-1) 0.563

θ = 29.38°

In the compound MgS, the sulfide ion has 1. lost one electrons. 2. lost two electrons. 3. gained one electron. 4. gained two ele
never [62]

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.
