A polythene rod may be charged by rubbing it with a cloth while being held in the hand but a metal rod cannot be charged in a si

milar way. Explain why
Physics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because polythene rod is an insulator , therefore when it is rubbed with a cloth , electrons move easily therefore making it charged but

Metal rod is a conductor, it conduct heat . Therefore, their atoms have electrons that is constantly in motion. Therefore rubbing it with a cloth will make any difference in making it charged because it have very huge number of stable electrons which will not allow more electrons to move through them.

For the equilibrium reaction N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g) taking place inside a sealed container fitted with a piston, predict the effect
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

4. The equilibrium will shift to favor formation of NO2(g)

Explanation:

According to La Chatalier's Principle which states that when an equilibrium system undergoes changes either in temperature, volume or concentration; there will be in a change in the system in order to reach equilibrium.

From the above equation,

N2O4(g) ⇀↽ 2 NO2(g)

From the above reaction, there are 2 moles of gaseous product on the left and 1 mole of gaseous reactant.

Therefore, there are more moles of gases in the left hand side than the right hand side.

Because a decrease in volume favors the direction that produces fewer moles, an increase in volume will therefore shift this system towards the side with more moles of gases that is, more products are formed hence, this system will shift to right and produce more moles of products i.e more NO2(g) formed.

What do you mean by physical quantity
Naddika [18.5K]

A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

At the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What happend to this potential ene
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Conservation of Energy ?</h3>

Conservation of energy state that energy is neither created nor destroy, they can only be transformed from one form to another. Energy of and object can transform from Potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa

Given that at the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What will happen to this potential energy as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill is that the potential energy to the roller coaster will start decreasing while the kinetic energy will start to increase.

The total energy of the roller coaster will be constant because of conservation of energy. As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy will eventually reduce to zero where the total energy of the as the roller coaster will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

Acceleration = change of velocity divided by time interval = Δv/Δt.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a=2.378 m/s^2

Explanation:

a=Δv/Δt------eq(1)

Δv=Vf-Vi=120 km/h-0 km/h=120 km/h

or Δv=33.3 m/sec

or time=t=14s

putting values in eq(1)

a=33.3/14

a=2.378 m/s^2

Which of the following is quantitative data? a. Color c. Shape b. Odor d. Volume
Papessa [141]
Hello there! Quantitive data has to do with measurements that can be shown with numbers. Examples of this are things like your height and the length of your arms. With that alone, A and B are eliminated, because those answer choices make no sense. They can't be expressed by numbers and you can't measure colors or odors mathematically. Volume is a way to measure something that CAN be written down by numbers. D is the only answer choice that fits the definition of quantitive data. The answer is D: volume.
