Answer:

(a) electrons being added.

(b) 7.5 × 10¹⁰

Explanation:

(a)

The plastic rod acquires a charge of -12 nC which means it contains more negative charge.

Thu, the electrons have been added to the rod. Removing protons are very difficult as they are in the nucleus and are bind by nuclear forces. Thus, by rubbing, electrons are transferred and thus the rod become negatively charged which means that the electrons being added.

(b)

The total charge = -12 nC

Also,

1 nC = 10⁻⁹ C

So,

Charge = -12 × 10⁻⁹ C

Charge on electron = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

<u>So, number of electrons transferred = -12 × 10⁻⁹ C / -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 7.5 × 10¹⁰ </u>

Harry and Hagrid needed to get money out of Gringotts bank. The bank cart was accelerating at a rate of 4 m/s2 and it had a mass
Nutka1998 [239]

a = acceleration of the bank cart = 4 m/s²

m = mass of the bank cart = 8000 kg

F = net force on the cart

According to newton's second law , Net force is the product of mass of the object and the acceleration of the object.

Net force = mass x net acceleration

hence Net force acting on the cart is given as

F = ma

F = 8000 x 4

F = 32000 N

hence the net force acting on the cart comes out to be 32000 N

What should a model of the rock cycle show as the process that changes metamorphic rock to igneous rock?
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Rock cycle describes the concept in geology that shows the changes in the rock type in the geologic time.

Many processes undergoes in the rock cycle that leads to transition of rocks, the process that changes metamorphic rock to igneous rock is melting and crystallization. The metamorphic rock melts under high pressure and temperature and which crystallizes into a completely different kind of rock, called igneous rock.

what is the initial velocity of a go-kart traveling at a uniform acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 for 5s as it slows down to a stop?​
timurjin [86]

The initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the uniform acceleration of go-kart is given as 0.5 m/s². Also the time required by it to stop is also given as 5 s. As acceleration is the measure of change in velocity per unit time.

In this case, the velocity should be changed from a value to zero to come to rest. So the initial velocity will be positive value and final velocity is zero.

As we know the values of acceleration, final velocity and time, the initial velocity can be easily determined as follows.

Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity -Initial velocity}{Time}

Since, final velocity is zero, acceleration is 0.5 m/s² and time is 5 s, then,

        -0.5=\frac{-\text {Initial velocity}}{5}

        Initial velocity = 0.5 × 5 = 2.5 m/s.

So the initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

stich3 [128]
-- Use the formula  D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²)  to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters
